Meanwhile, at 2:00 a.m. in a sleepy New England town, the reclusive chukabilly relentlessly pursues the last few tenths as the deadline looms closer and closer. 
As far as I can tell, I still have four hours before I go to work, so the coffee is brewing as I type. I'm psyched to get the Ruf out on El Capitan,👍 but seeing my name at the bottom of the leaderboard just bums me out!
So, although they're not impressive, here are my current splits:
T1=11.041 T2=23.743 T3=48.128
Now, I intend to enjoy a fine Guatemalan Light Roast as I take a Jaguar out for a late-night ride. When I started this series, I said I'd be happy to be in the top five of division two. Instead, I'm struggling to stay ahead of division three!
You just gotta love it.👍👍👍 Makes you wonder about the social lives of the D1 guys, now that I think about it.

I know I am going to have hell to pay tomorrow for lack of sleep, but I deem it worthwhile because I just took .4xx off my total time. As of 3:30 a.m. and with two and a half hours to go, my new splits are:
T1 is 11.310 (I've lost two tenths here, and I wonder if the gearing change is the reason.
T2 is 23.524 (I've gained the time back, again I suspect the gearing.)
T3 is 47.887 (I've found time and hoping for a good chicane.)
The gearing change is from 300 to 310. My fastest T1 is with a 300, but all my other times are with the 310. I know I'm slowing down more abruptly with the 310, but I can't seem to control it any other way. I try to be on the left side of the track at T1.

Well, here comes the sun, so I'm off to work. No more improvements, but I'd do it all over again!! As a matter of fact, I may do it again this week.

Good effort Chuk, it's nice to see that even us div2 guys take no prisoners in our efforts to post bloody decent times
I wonder about the div1 guys social life though, they seem to be able to crank out super fast times from the get go whereas we're wearing our buns to the bone cranking out megalaps. Go figure, I have suspicions that they have more talent than I do, but it could also be that their playstations have the rumoured 'easy-drive' version of GT4 or they might even be aliens Be seeing you at the finish line, be warned though I think my finish is good this time (for a change).

I wish I could've gotten up earlier... I'm sick and it SUCKS. So I'm nursing my throat right now, and then will get started for a few minutes. Sadly I only have a FEW minutes. Time will be submitted directly after I run out of time. I may or may not improve, definitely don't expect anything drastic.
