Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily my best times (CLICK HERE for my best times/replays).

Generally, I try to stay to the left for the approach into the first right hander. I go a little wild over the jumps, and I completely blew the turn-in. I was headed for the right side wall, but I countered as I started to brake from 90 to 70.

This gives me a poor setup for the left hander, as I'm now headed for the left side wall. I brake and then I start to swing the back end out for the left hand turn. I slow down from 59 to 40, trying to stay tight to the left, and pull out of the remainder of the turn in 1st gear.

As I shift into 3rd (which might not've been the best idea), I turn in for the final right turn, kicking it back down to 2nd when the revs bog from the slide. I try to keep the steering smooth and tight to the right, straightening out when the left side of the Finish banner comes into view.

I cross the line at 0'29.522, going 65 mph in 3rd gear.

Here's a video of my run:
