At the 2010 ARRC at Road Atlanta, the 2nd Qualifying Session was on a wet track. Only a few cars went out and then all pulled in. I had the track all to myself and I had a blast, intentionally pitching it sideways in the slower corners and worked on my car control skills. Lets face it this should aways be fun!

I had never been comfortable going sidways through T6 so I started working on that corner specifically. Lance Snyder and his Turn 7 Corner workers started holding out scoring tablets as I would catch the T6 slide coming into T7. Lots of fun.

Must have helped cos in the race Cliffie spun out ahead of me and I stayed on course to pick up the inaugural ARRC SMX win and the track record.

Here are three edited laps from that Q2 session ..... all comments appreciated. Click through to watch full screen in HD on YouTube (720p)

Looks like fun. The MX5 you pass in the beginning looks like the AMG car we won the 25 hour in. I can’t wait for our season to start in Colorado.
