Dominion Raceway (new track)

The Z punished all prancing horses in the corners but 2 cars (an F12 and a 599 I think) would pull me in the straights and would not let me through the rest of the course. Either they don't understand track etiquette or maybe their pride was at stake.

I will be there in three weeks. The walls look menacing but overall great. You are driving great...not sure if I can match those lap times. Watching your speeds will help me a bunch when I get there.

yes the walls were menacing on the recon laps out but you get used to it. We were "talked to" by the organizers and since there was no paint on the walls nobody wanted to be the first. I still believe there is much more to be gained in turns 1 and 2. I slowed too much.

yes ptm5 bone stock except some water wetter All nanny's off would yield a bit but I was still new to the track so left it in 5.

I managed a 1:37.0 best lap. Not bad, but I was fairly tenative in many spots. There was so much traffic on track, I had a very few clean laps. 1:35.8 is a very good time, and I will be at Dominion again in September.

Looking to get my Z out on the track at Dominion or VIR this fall. Hoping to get the wife to take her SS out there too.

yes when I was there the only passing was on the front straight...looks like we both did a lot of waiting. Nice run. Did you meet Steve the owner? He was so nice...he even let me store my wheels overnight in one of his offices...people are so nice once you get out of the nyc area.

for me I gave up the most in turn 1...I have to brake way less and harder in turn 2 next time.
