    So it looked like you took turn 4 (maybe) off the apex mid-track in the 2nd and 3rd laps. Was that because you were giving him space for an inside pass or just a different line? I love seeing the MINI get so tiny as you're cornering :biggrin5: You need to come up and play at T-Hill - it's a track made for MINIs.

    Rae if you are talking about the top of the hill next to the grandstands then yes. That is turn 4 (see map below). Also, yes, I was taking lopy-lines through there so I could see how my exit out of 5 compared to Jay's. :Thumbsup: Good eyes.

    Jay (owner of the Cobra) and I were running 1:48s when we were filming that. We wanted to get some good closing footage. If you look at his you tube channel you'll se another film of the low side and rear cameras he had mounted during the same track session. Cool stuff. :cool:

    For the record my personal best at Big Willow is a 1:44.6 so we were running slower than I was used to.:ihih:

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know I did. :D
