^ This was more fun though:
My run from the first day (time: 65.771). For some reason, it's the only video that didn't turn out well:

Even though I LOVE Crows Landing, I won't be at the last event on august 3rd there for family reasons.
Its a great site and the surface is a dream. The tour was a total success.

^ haha, it was nice to meet you in person 
I hope the county gives us more days next year and we have another Pro and Tour there, just a little earlier in the year.
On a different note, I something about a white ESP WRX driver that freaked out when he met Karlton

Where do I start?!
It was really hot but I did a good job of staying cool, and hydrated. Saturday's course had really tight sections that I just didn't pick up. I've been driving timid for a few years now, just not aggressive at all. Playing it safe. I did the same on saturday but good thing Takeshi also wasn't terribly fast either and got me by .450
Sunday was a new day, cooler at first but heated up quickly. I had nothing to lose. I had a good cushion to 3rd place and I wasn't feeling like I had something to lose. I really pushed on my first lap and within the first turn I felt different. Course slowed for me, the first time in maybe 3 years now that this has happened, and going through that first section out to the turn around it felt different. I felt different.
I broke the seal...
The rest the course I was hard charging through the slaloms, hard on the brakes, and esp on my 2nd run I was doing this with nice precision. I really felt like it clicked. So for my 3rd run I was the last dude in T2 to run, and I was ready, I felt to get the .300 i needed, but in the end, though I was even faster and more agressive, I over drove it just a little bit, EVERYWHERE. and I was a whole second slower. Totally humbling experience, cause I could have swore it was a faster run. But I was sliding it a little too much, and it all added up to disaster. That and we had fuel starvation in the car all weekend long. Even a half a tank wasn't good enough, there was just way too much grip. I need to move up to a legit swirl pot setup now.
Even then, I feel like I leveled up. So I'm interested in seeing how I drive at oakland next month. I plan to make some changes to the rear bar, and see how i like it.
I'll have video up later.
