Got a taste of a road course, so nothing else would do except I had to get big brakes and big tires to go on Red to go back and do that better the next time, because nothing else better would do. And all of the tools and all of the, well, that's how it goes, preaching to the choir from the back row of the church here on the forum.
Went much faster than the much slower folks in the rain at Road Atlanta and didn't think a thing about it while I was doing it. That was slow. But it was fast. And I was all big balls until I got back home and watched the dash video of it. Damn. Then I got scared, and that was SLOW.
I propose, and this is open for great debate....I propose that if you're going to get really good at running road courses, you absolutely HAVE to wreck one time. You have to wreck one time (but I didn't). If you're really going to find out how fast you can go you MUST wreck one time to find out how fast is too fast.
That logic might be wrong, but I propose it to be true. You HAVE to wreck once in a curve. You have to. If you want to find out how fast you can really go. I'm glad I didn't (wreck) but since I didn't wreck I have no idea how close I was to actually wrecking the whole time I was doing it. So I didn't know how much faster I could go. And I've still got Red in one large piece. And it was fun, but I won't be doing that again.
