Default cecil result.. it was a joke..

first pass 12.22 @125mph
second pass 12.52 @126mph.

the first pass it hopped hard and spun through 3rd. when we got to the end, there was a broken down honda just sitting in the middle of the return lane at the turn spilling oil all over the damn place. WTF!

the second pass was scary as hell. spun bad 1st and 2nd and when I hit 3rd. it kicked sideways on me. got out and got back in it but damn the track was not safe and very badly prepped. not to mention the HOURS of waiting in line for cleanup.

gotta wait until the weather gets nicer. hopefully I will have more luck then.

My car went sideways once at the track, shifting into second. It scared the **** out of me for a second, but then I was just mad that I had to let out and spoil my pass.

Can't argue with that at all. The track prep on Saturdays is well worth the extra money IMHO.
