its been some time, but like I stated in my last post almost 3 weeks ago.
NCM Motorsports is a very technical course with 23 turns and 3 fairly long straights, thou they do not look like straights.
I was running in the green group (new drivers) and an instructor name Todd. Todd was a riot, too work with, he just wasn't a HPD Driver, he does time trials and runs in NASA. His instruction was on using races lines and using all the track. Based on his lines, I found different areas of the track where I good gain a couple of car length on some cars.
But that was actually funny, I could gain on some fast cars, only to watch them walk away from me on the straights
here's link Todd provided, shows a lap I was with him in his car. Which is a BMW E46. There was a point, where we got black flag, because he runs ethanol 85, and they couldn't figure out the smell. Before we got started.

It was a very good learning experience. I will try to write up a lap description from what I remember, just takes some time.
By the end of the first day, I noticed that the brake pedal was getting long. But that and the 2nd day is another post
and I am through hooked on track days now
