Heh. I went back and checked my data. I only saw 1.5 because that's what I had the graph's max set to. So I looked at various laps and my peak lateral g's reached as high as 1.7 on one lap. Here are 3 laps with my highest lateral g readings. And yes, I had the unit in backwards, hence the reason the acceleration g plot looks upside-down. (Note on lap 5 the accel spike? That was from the inside wheel spinning and suddenly biting -- causing the car to lurch forward).
