Dragstrip v. Road Course

[sakimano]

The people who “brag about their times” or even talk about their times have not been even middle of the pack in terms of how fast they are, in my experience. They start myopically focusing on corner entry MPH and end up being slower overall, unable to take new instruction as they apply perfection to a suboptimal line. I only really started looking at times in my 8th year of doing this.

if I wasn’t so tired, I’d post the 10x or so that you’ve bragged about your lap times at various courses. And that’s just in the past 2 months.

I don’t lead with it and I don’t even check until the weekend is over. But I try to be transparent about where I am in my skill development and car development, when I post about it. Most of my lap time gains YoY are from suspension, tires and brakes. It makes me feel comfortable pushing the car further, though I’m nowhere near the limit.
