I felt real good about todays track day. My braking points have really improved.

Me running a 1:42 with traffic. I think I could have run a 1:3X without the traffic.

Does leaning into the turns like that help? :)

Great vids, great tunes.

Love the steering wheels on the GenI. I wish our GenII had them instead of our stupid airbag.

:rolaugh: The leaning comes from racing go-karts in the league at are local track. I would lean in to get the inside wheel planted. :D

Have you ever heard of leaning outside? Since both inner and outer wheels are locked together by a solid axle, and since leaning inside puts more weight on the slower turning wheel, this reduces the engine revs. I heard leaning outside, on the wheel making the greater arc, is supposed to allow the revs to come up, giving you more power coming out of the curve. But I don't have any personal experience with this, just wondering what others have tried.

Yes, I wasn't thinking correctly. I am not sure why I lean to the inside when on the track probably to counter the Gs.
