7-23-23 NASA Great Lakes at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. This is from the last session of Sunday afternoon. It was just an open lapping session with a combined run group of HPDE 3 and 4 students.
This was my second time at Pitt Race, and my first weekend running the Kumho Ecsta V730. The tires definitely got hot, and a bit greasy, as evidenced by my inability to take it through Turn 17 in lap 4.
