[QUOTE="TXPD, post: 8074099, member: 46922"] I have only a little experience at VIR. 25 laps maybe. I have spun there in NASCAR before. I have not found a comfort zone there yet and its right in between shifts for me aswell. I am still trying to find the right gear and the right line in there. So, since I was driving my Mustang 45th show car(see the 05 car in the Steeda Compound at Barber) I was pretty careful in that particular spot. From NASCAR to South Bend I ran about as hard as I could. Since I could not pass the guy in front of me, I used the straight from South Bend to Oak Tree to let the racers pass me and gave up the line after the back straight as well. Then I would run as hard as I could down from Roller Coaster to T1 where I gave the line to racers. That would always let the AI guy in front of me get free by a good stretch and then I would run him down in half a lap or so. It was fun. I just wanted to get enough laps on the R to be sure it was right for Barber. I was so relaxed that I realized that I never really matted the gas pedal. I'd put it down 75-80%. I realized it and mashed the gas hard out of Oak Tree which is 2nd gear in the Cobra R. Snapped my head back. I thought, yea, I havent felt that all day. Just cruizin. After Mustang 45th, I will be racing at Roebling Road in an SCCA race. I think the lap times will be better there. [/QUOTE]
