well that was easier than i thought. New times are 28.8/1'09.3. Though it was much harder to even get near those times afterwords, which scares me, but I think i just got outta the groove, i'll have to try again later. Max is absolutely right too, the key to this track is flow, which can be very tricky in a jumpy little ae86...haha, my thumbs are too twitchy

i'll give you all an extremely big boost with this:
springs must be set VERY low. mine are at 5.0/8.0 this ****er hops around like a grasshopper on 'roids. the harder your springs are the more you will hop.
you guys are too fast now to give up my complete setup like the old days (take it as a compliment). you'll have to figure out the rest.

Hi,
No doubt about the flow.Very important.
Just like I found the 28's @ T1,I also found A 1:09.009 hiding in T2,then smashed into the chicane.
So High 1:08's could be in my future. I also find outside distractions mess me up,thats why I wait until every one goes to bed. Another great race,Boom!

Looks like its gonna be one of those weeks again. ive got a new best, tho it couldve been a lot better if i could get my first sector straightened out. I got a 29.3 T1, but after that flew thru the lap and ended up w/ a 1'09.1 T2 and a lap time about .600 better than my previous best, so i suppose thats somthing to be happy about, but i wish i could do as well coming up to the T1. I'll have to try max's advice...it SOUNDS easy enough, but doing it is a completely different story...haha

A new time after about 10-12 laps...
T1: 0'29.404 / T2: 1'10.301
This may look wierd but it's actually a .3 second drop from the overall time:
T1: 0'29.667 / T2: 1'10.669
Finally a time that can compete with the rest of my division! Took 15 more laps of racing, but I finally got my goal! Here's the T's:
T1: 0'29.862 / T2: 1'09.768
T1: 0'29.404 / T2: 1'10.301

Hi All :
Took a few days off to go visit my daughter @ school & thought I'd give this one another quick shot today. After probably 35-40 more Laps, couldn't improve on my T1 time, but found 1/2 second each between T1 & T2 and between T2 & Finish Line. Couldn't break into the 1'08s but posted a best T2 of 1'09.142. Good Luck 👍 to all, See Ya Next Week...UB57

Since it looks like Max is running.
Update:
28.630 - 1'07.993
Same setup.
I changed my method of running the session.
Instead of trying for a quick T1, again and again.
I just ran laps without looking at the splits, only the final.

I got a problem. My PS2 must not like me or something because after watching my fastest lap, I get my time, then I go to the analyzer and where it shows the file name and all that, it tacked on an extra .025 sec. to the total time!!! WTF?!?! But when I go into the analyzer itself it shows the one I actually got. It does the same thing when I go to save it too.

Hi Turbo_Rotary :
Not a problem actually. For some unknown reason the replay stops 1 frame before the end. You're NOT having .025 seconds added on, the replay screeen SUBTRACTS it from your actual time. Go by the time shown in the lower right hand corner of the "Info Box." (Hope this makes sense)...UB57
