I am travelling this week to Seattle so I am going to have some time in my hotel to put together a "greatest hits" of this very hot track day, but here is a preview, I had a little "whoops" moment going into 8, as I was running down a white BMW.

I have really wide feet, and very occasionally, usually in the first session before I am fully warmed up, sometimes my right foot accidentally presses on my throttle pedal extension. Usually it is very minor, but sometimes I really get on it like here, and I wonder "Why aren't my brakes working right". Combined with my trying out a slightly later brake point, and I went off.... You can hear the engine rev up when I go to the clutch, and I am like "ugggggg". I think I may ditch the extension, or maybe move it over so it doesn't extend past the edge of the pedal (since I don't really need an extension at this point, but I do like the smooth metal feel of the pedal)
