I am still impressed by the elevation change at VIR with T-15 -T-16 when looking at the track compared to being in the car.
As far as lightbulb I would also likel to walk it. I looked at video again last night saw there entry heading toward the tire marks where the car went off into the grass. From film I am wondering if you could stay way out to the right on exit of 6, arcing it back to the far left for an arcing approach into lightbulb. Of course speed and other factors may not allow this, but Pete said Hoyt was single apexing that section.

Lap times are funny. I downloaded my Traqmate and looked my single prior day at Lightning- almost .5 seconds faster last fall! So much depends on the day, the track, maybe air density...

I throughly enjoed Schattembaum's event. I do have to say that RTR's safety tech is second to none. I experienced a through check all three days with our club at my first event last fall. Schattenbaum only did a cursory check the second day. This is not meant as a criticsm, only a note of the how proud we should be over our club. Looking forward to Poke your nose (Pocono).

Terry, the track has likely settled in and is a little slower. The club race times when it first opened were very fast. I ran some 14's a week ago my first time on the track using MPSC's. I think there is another sec in more seat time and a little more using a R6's. My car is really hooked up suspension now, just need to get the engine 100%.
