While not in the same league as you guys I've felt the same way- I have always felt like I was on the very limit of grip only to watch the video from the safety of my chair and think "why didn't I brake later and harder, or turn in earlier or get closer to that cone"....

I had Dusold ride with me once and his suggestion afterwards was that I drive deeper before braking and then brake harder for a shorter period of time. He also told me that I could carry more speed through the hairpin by the start line. He was right.

I had a lot of fun talking with all you guys and look forward to doing it again!

Bryan- I loved seeing TOW back out there and I thought it sounded great!

Mike basically told me the same thing after he rode with me. I was not charging the corner hard enough and pretty much waiting for it. Also said I need to trust the car more. Using the brakes I should be on the verge of sliding every corner so I'm getting the most out of it. Sounds easy enough in discussion but I have a lot of practice needed
