I was running around 2 seconds off atleast. However, there was reasons why I was slower outside of temperature conditions.
didn't want to beat Barge
Hayden's slower times probably had something to do with tyres that were almost down to the canvas!![]()

In my standard NA6 I finished with a best lap of 1:16.37 which is 0.57s slower than my PB. Was consistently losing time on the long straights despite having good exit speed from the corners. My car was clearly lacking a little power in yesterday's hot & humid conditions.
I had a very close call in turn 2 on the last run. I was following Gus's NB and he lost control exiting the turn. I saw it coming but was already mid-slide and had to pull it up quickly to avoid a nasty collision. It all worked out safely in the end.
Same at Lakeside last Monday, quite a few said they felt it was fast but the times said otherwise .. I was nowhere near my 'normal' speed down the main straight although corners felt fine. KU36's were quite hot [no readings] after each run but I did manage to get within 0.05secs of my PB. Must also say I started with a fairly heavy fuel load for a standard NB so next time I'm making 'other arrangements'
Just as well it's NOT today, terrible here this morning with the heat and humidity, so hopeful of a storm later in the day
Glad you 'southerners' had a great day, I was watching the radar closely!!
