Road Trip to Carolina Motorsports Park

[racerb]

Most of my laps at CMP the last few years have been in the pacecar, in my case Pace-UV. But when I have run CMP in a racecar (Nissan Pulsar) I would just breath the throttle approaching 10 (the kink) and then hold it flat till about the # 3 brake marker, earlier late in the race as brake fade came on! The two most important spots on this track are turn 8 and turn 14, both are momentum corners and require smooth braking and throttle application. As a long time racer of front drive cars and having never learned to heel-n-toe, I adopted a left foot braking technic that makes tight sweeping turns easier by keeping the car more stable.

I look forward to getting the Yaris on track, but really want to finish my Celica GTS project car for road coarse events and the Yaris for Auto-X. But to be honest, which ever car is ready first will hit the track, maybe CMP or any of NASA Southeast's many tracks!
