Great seeing both you buys down there. I timed a few of your laps down there and checked it against the video. Laps were 2:14 to 2:18, which I think are great times. The instructor I had was Steve Epley, the SE SCCA champion, and he was doing in the 2:08 to 2:09 range (although he says he does 2:04s on fresh tires). He was driving the #55 race-prepped red C6Z. So you guys are right there.

Great driving Doug and Bob!!
I noticed you both drive different lines coming off the straight to the hard right. doug looks like he goes in deeper then turns. Might be because you can't see how deep you are going into it. But you got the video issue worked out. Looked great Bob.

yeah we get to feed off each other so we seem to catch on quicker to the faster lines. I am sure next time there we will be under 2:10 which is right where NASCAR would be.
