    Thumbs up Any body know my lap times??

    Anyone that attended Audi Club at BUTTONWILLOW have an idea of my lap times?? Beleive it or not I didn't look at my speedo, not even once on the track. People ask me : How fast did you go? Heck I don't know, but I never, ever, experienced such a thrill ride as the other day. I followed my Instructors instructions to the "T". ALWAYS looking far ahead to the next turns. Living in Hyperspace while contemplating the future. AWESOME STUFF.

    If you have a video of you starting and look at the timer on the camera on the next pass and you will have your time. That is what we did at BIR.

    Or get banned by the instructor ! Over and over it was stated;We are not racing...so using the lap timer a NO NO. I'm hoping DESPARADO can tell me SOMETHING. MY instructors' favourite words on track were Hammer down, punch it NOW, and "cool it" a little in the sweepers. In the end he said that I "GOT IT".

    Cool stuff harrison!

    Good to hear that you finally got the car on a track (since everyone's given you so much grief about it.) and enjoyed it as much as you did.
