Me, LordZ and Doghouse are all in the Motel 6 as well.. Dont forget to bring shampoo as they do not provide it at the "6".

Ugh... After watching this I might need to go back to an instructor. Lines were terrible! I didn't think they were this bad when I was out there!

Not my best lap, but at least this had some action in it. Best of the day was only a 2:37.5.

Doesn't look to bad man... An instructor for a session or two can always help. I wouldn't mind throwing someone in my car that really knows that configuration as well and I'm sure it would help me drop 3-4 seconds pretty easily. Looked over my data this morning and I did a 2:33.5 at some point, have to really looked much into it though. Ill try and get a video up tomorrow if I have time. I figure I should be able to get in the 2:2x.x time frame with some practice.

BTW, looks like Blair posted up the photos from the event, I didnt see anything about the parade laps though.. :( When you get those photos do post them up.

OK Here is my video... Only second time doing this configuration and the 1st time was a year ago when I was in Blue run group. I did much better this time, but still have a lot of room for improvement. Probably could make up 4-6 second a lap with some more practice.

The strange this is this is my first session on Sunday and although my line improved greatly through out the day this was my fastest lap. I think later in the day I was running into more traffic.
