Who was responsible for the smoke screen ? It was more of a James Bond dust screen. Early in the session (3:45), the Cayman GTS just kissed the dirt on the left edge of the track going wide exiting turn 9 into the front straight. He recovered, but not before leaving a large dust cloud for me to drive through. Given the choice between a dust cloud or a spun/flipped Porsche in front of me, I will choose the former, thank you.
Down to just a blue car now.

Takes practice, and lots of it.  Each corner will be different, even if they look the same.

First time, well that is a VERY big and ligitement excuse. hahaha. With #9's decreasing radius corner, yes stay wide as it'll surprise you how fast the corner exit will turn in on you, and you'll find yourself outside in the dirt.

I hit 115 in the straight. An instructor drove a few laps and hit 122 simply from better driving and a later corner entry. If you watch my videos, you will see the speedometer hit 137/138 on some of the laps.*  This is slammed up against the rev limiter in 4th gear. * There might be a slight horsepower difference between our two cars.

When you think you have cleared your trunk of every last item before hitting the track at Willow Springs...
...look again.
The can sprayed about 1/2 of its contents all around the trunk lining during the course of the day.
At least it was diet so it didn't ad much weight to the car.

There was a '69 listed as entered, so most likely that one. And the color looks the same as the one in a couple still pictures.

The other dark grey/black primer. Yup, I thought there were 2 entered, and both '69s, so I just got done looking; 1 with black rims, 1 with shiny rims.

The Teal one was really nice and very tastefully modified, control freak suspension, etc. It ran pretty good, a father and son had it out. The Black one broke on the instructor warm up laps, not sure what happened, I wished it ran more. Both were AMC powered too.

And the last of what has been posted so far, dashcam [not gopro] footage with timestamps and subtitled narrative of session 4. A session in which yours truly runs his car out of gas on the track.Yep, you just don't see driver performance like this every day.* Click here for a laugh ===>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TbWUxIhLvI&feature=youtu.be* Note that I am owning up to this in a preemptive attempt to take the wind out of the sails of certain members who might take the opportunity to poke a bit of fun at the guy in the blue car. NO WAY JOSE!!!!!

Did the Scion stay on the track as well as the Dart?  Funny how Samy never responded to this question... Probably still cleaning all the gravel out of the undercarrage of the Scion.
