Picked up a single track day w/ PDS @ TWS today. The dollars-per-track-hour just can't be beat there, I have to do more PDS weekends this year! I'm not sure about their entry-level Green group, but everyone else runs basically 8x 24-min sessions per day. Unfortunately I left my SD Card in the computer at home, so I didn't get any data logging or video. Luckily the dash timing stuff works without it, so I was able to record laptimes and see my realtime +/- vs best still. No spins/offs, again, so I didn't miss recording anything exciting really.
It was dry before lunch and wet after. I trimmed my dry time down substantially. A week ago my best was 2:05.65. My first session today I hit 2:04.78, and then in the last session before lunch I managed a 2:03.10 and a 2:03.22 back-to-back when I got free of traffic for a while. I think mostly I was picking that up with being more aggressive on my speeds through T7 and T12, and slowly getting a little better at T1->T3.
My braking is my weak spot now; I really need to up my braking game to keep up with the rest (mostly smoother transitions, but also the location/duration of my braking zones). Still, even if I keep sucking at braking about like I am now, I think I could push my current runs down into 2:01-ish territory if I could get a solid dry weekend in. The wet sessions were fun too, but there are too many different levels of "wet" to really bother tracking times much.
Next event scheduled is Apr 5-6 @ MSR-Houston. It will be nice to get back to my first track again, I haven't been in a while
