These are a few laps from my check-off ride with one of Chin Track Days' chief instructors to move me up into the Intermediate (blue) group. I felt I was very held up in the Green group last event, and was happy to get this ride-along scheduled and to successfully pass the check-off. The instructor, Abbey, was great to work with and super helpful, as are virtually all of the Chin Track Day instructors. Excited to be running in this group from here on out as I believe it'll allow me to push myself more and string together cleaner laps more consistently.
On another note, I believe street tires are no longer good enough for me. Especially in the heat of Florida, they start complaining after 2 or 3 laps. After that, it's just understeer through all the slow corners and oversteer in the sweepers. Will be jumping into the Super 200tw range for the next event.
Apologies for the awful over-exposure. I will need to work on dialing in the GoPro settings for the more sunny events.
