Z1 Nationals - Road Atlanta Notes:
-- Day was made up of five 20 minute sessions, there were five groups
instructors/Advance (red)/Intermediate(Blue)/Novice 2 (yellow)/Novice 1(green).
-- morning session was wet, no rain, track was drying through out the morning. I was turning times around a between 2:00:00 and 2:05:00. just taking it easy. Not trying to do anything stupid.
-- afternoon sessions the track dried out more and more, so by the last two sessions it was dry. So it got to be fun. Best time was a 1:56.659.

Things I learned
-- Tire pressure, started working on having my tire pressure when I came back in at 35 front / 33 rear. The car actually felt better all around.
-- Time, oh there is more time to lose, but, self preservation was in play. I have to work on my braking, a little bit at a time.

Notes:
-- At one point a session I was in was blacked flag, found out that Road Atlanta was upset with the rise in incidents occurring. So they basically had all the groups take a time out.
-- car performed extremely well, glad to see that it can handle a 5 sessions.
-- Tires, its time, I actually corded my right front tire on the inside. When I was doing my post track inspection, I found it. Checked the rears, even wear, but they are done.
-- going from 10a/10b to 11 and the hill, I felt better about it. (still respected it), but I think the sims, helped me with the understanding of that turn.
-- Turn 1, apex was a bit early, found that out at the end of the day.
