Did my 3rd DE yesterday, this one at the new Palmer Motorsports track. Had a great time and learned this very technical, 15 turn course more quickly than I expected. With good instruction, I was able to increase my speed significantly throughout the day. With rock walls and Jersey barriers everywhere and very little runoff area, this track is rather unforgiving… So one of the high points of the day was achieving a great entry speed into the tight, uphill, 40 MPH Turn 5 which comes after a series of 3 turns which appear distinct but can be driven as a long, somewhat connected arc… My instructor kept asking for more speed thru there since it is a good section to make time when in competition. In later sessions I had a few runs where I was able to hit a blistering 90 MPH into Turn 5, stand the car on its nose with the tail wagging, slow to 40 MPH in 30 yards or so, and stay on line for a smooth Turn 5 entry. Exciting stuff! Enjoy a few videos...
