REQUESTING INFORMATION

Last year's track time sheets:
Looking for anyone with laps that earned them a point, with a lap time shorter than 3:14.437 (Jerry's lap in Centurion) or longer than 3:16.966 (I did that in my Accord). Please pm me. Mike L, I thought you sent me your sheet last year but I can't find it...

TURN ONE SPEED FOR HONDA INSIGHTS
This is my first year driving the 2000 Insight in the GGP.

Turn one has always been a key turn for me - I want maximum safe speed going into the turn so I don't have to pour fuel in, to get up the hill that follows. For anyone here with experience driving a 2000-2006 Insight in this event, what speed(s) do you like for entering that turn? Please tell. I assume Insights had stock Potenza RE92 tires - if different, please mention it. Thanks! Please pm me if you have any word on this.

Related, for all our drivers - Re. Turn 1: I strongly recommend you arrive at the end of the preceding straightaway over at the far left of the available roadway. Turn right so you cut across the inner corner of the right hand turn. Of course you can only do that if there's nobody on your right. You must check for that carefully.

Then when past the inner corner, continue on that path so you end up in a middle or left lane as you leave the turn. This path makes the turn much more gentle - that is, a larger radius. Otherwise it would be a very tight corner and will give you trouble unless going very slow.
