Here's a few vids I took:
For this first one, you can see Dwduc flying by me chasing a Miata. I initially tried catching up, but spun 2nd, 3rd, and all of 4th gear. Since this was my second lap ever on that track, I took it easy on the remainder of the laps while Saul_Good road passenger and showed me his preferred line.

On this second video, Mortose is riding passenger and showing me his recommended line. Though smoking the tires is tempting, I exercised A LOT of restraint on not going full-throttle. Additionally, I took Saul_Good's suggestion and kept it in 4th gear the entire course (except the long straight away).

Unfortunately, I cut my day short and was only able to squeeze in those two runs. I thought the car didn't "feel" right and wanted to take the car home to take a deeper look. Turns out the U-Haul trailer had two huge metal lips protruding upwards...and one of them completely destroyed my cold-air intake while loading/unloading the car. In the process...the damage pulled my intake coupler away from the throttle-body and created a huge gap. In other words, the mass air flow sensor wasn't registering all the air entering the engine. Almost like an intercooler pipe disconnecting from a coupler. Therefore, I wasn't creating full power & was running super rich. No wonder the car felt a little weak that day
Anyway...Enjoy! Now I have to fabricate a new intake pipe
