Not to brag, but, I raced motorcycles on this track several times so I knew the course fairly well and I was up to pace since I was rarely passed and was pointed by by several Vettes and Mustangs. I was getting into the corners fast. I was braking hard, just not at the last second to give myself a cushion and not get in too deep. The pads just weren't up to it.
