Track grip was completely dependant on temperature (big difference from morning to afternoon), which means there isnt much rubber laid down on it yet this season.

Otherwise, its the usual shitty LRP pavement. Same bumps and concrete patches that were there 20 years ago. The run-off was ALL mud, and on the right side of the esses was a decent sized lake. As in, if you spin off into it, dont open your door. Early on, I put two off in the braking zone before the uphill and sunk half the tire in about 3 inches.

Had an absolute blast tho. It's been a long winter, but after the first session, I was back in the game and running safe, consistent, clean, fast laps. No official times, data acquisition is the next mod. Phil was back to his crazy, 11/10ths self by the end of the day, and Jason had an interesting day playing with fire in the Atom and was cutting fast times towards the end. Learning how to master a car like that is a huge challenge, but if anyone is up to it, it's the guy who has owned 12 different track cars in the last 2 years.
