This has been stressing me out lately so please, bear with me on this rant...
...I race @ Moroso Motorsports Park in Jupiter, FL. It's known locally as "one of the worst tracks in the country". I think that title is attributed to the lack of / or low quality track prep mixed with the amount of several cars running on street tires.
So, I make best of what I've got and practice practice practice. I consider myself a pretty decent driver. I shift very well (not to sound cocky) and my launches are "ok". I've experimented with several different RPM's, dumps, slips, roll outs you name it.
Well, tonight it seemed nobody could cut decent 60 footers. My buddy in his Turbo'd S197 ran a 11.98 but couldn't pull below a 2.0, a few other S197's out there were cutting 2.0's-2.3's. Myself, I couldn't get below 2.0!
Now, some say the weather has a lot to do with things, as does track prep and what other cars are running on said track. Tonight it was approximately 78F out and humidity was around 75%. Am I just getting depressed over nothing b/c I expect so much more out of my car AND myself than 2.0's.....
