Sixth time on track + forth event with the car. 

Ended up running a 2:16.2x as my low for the weekend, but didn't catch it on video. Optimal is ~2:14.7. The car has 2:10s/11s in it with more seat time. Ended up blowing up my clutch/flywheel (sorta TBD) after my first TT lap. Favorite track so far - can't wait to head back out there. 

Opportunity areas: 
TL;DR: Later Apexes = ability to be earlier on throttle. 

T1: I'm overslowing a bit here since I'm taking an early apex. If I take a later apex I should be able to both carry more speed and get on the power earlier. 
Bus Stop: Higher entry speed :) Should be coming in atleast around 92-96 MPH. 
T5: More speed through here. It looks like I'm out for a sunday joyride. Even a super late apex/trail brake would work. 
T6: Earlier throttle. Have a ton of room to track out. Just need to commit. 
T10: I had a much later apex on my fast lap and carried more than 10MPH and was able to get on power earlier.
T11: Later apex, earlier on power, have tons of room to track out.
