MSR Houston CW and CCW

Along the way in my quest to 1:39s...
CW 1:41.9

CCW 1:42.1

... and be careful trail braking

NICE! I'm a touch faster CW, 1:41.5 for personal best (I think), but I'm almost always in the 1:42 range consistently. I'm so rusty going CCW now that my times are crap....

That seems to be more of a lockup based spin ...

Definitely some lockup, but it has happened twice now while slightly turning out of impatience. If I keep it straight while at threshold, I'm good.

Been looking for you out there. Going tomorrow and Wednesday this week...

Been CHAOS at work so I haven't been out in 2 months (pathetic I know).

Good job keeping the clutch in!

Ran CCW again today and stuck in the 1:42's. Hoping the Houston summer heat is zapping some significant power and the car is 2 seconds faster in the fall.

Well camera failed on Tuesday, so I sent it to AIM to get repaired under warranty... and OF COURSE I smash my CCW PB today without a camera: 1:40.648!!!

The AIM data file is attached. Hope it helps the local guys get faster at MSRH.

FYI, here's what it looks like when a smartycam 3 sport fails:
