Some more time wasters... The full collection is available at:

I didn't manage to capture either of my 'offs' with the Garmin, but I went off at the end of the long straight (too much speed into the first turn) and I spun coming out of the second 180* turn at the opposite end of the track. The course was 3rd and 4th gears for me, downshifting into each 180*, then carrying 4th shortly after exiting. I could have run mostly in third, but I was still being a little gentle on the new engine.
I also improved my line quite a bit in session 5 when I had an instructor, but the battery in the Garmin was dead by then.
It's lucky for Steve also, or I would have had a great shot of him sitting in turn 1 starring at us coming at him since he went off.
