i had trouble holding flat out at the very bottom after turn in but as soon as i got about 1/4 of the way up the concrete patch it was i might of been able to shift into 5th on the back straight because was hitting the red line with time to spare but 144 mph seemed to be a fast as i needed to go that day.....

I red line my LT4, and I'm satisfied. probably about 128-130 depending on how I do turn 1. no reason to shift to 5th gear, I start backing off early.... and I run the bus-stop in 4th too.

15 track days this year has done a lot for me, but still I know there is a long way to go.

the learning curve is huge.

a 10th here and a 10th there. Consistance of hitting your marks lap after lap after lap while being completly relaxed. Next thing you know you just did a PR for that track.
