Where in the One Lap is Nigel?: Day 6 - Getting Technical in Ohio

The drive into Ohio wasn't killer. In fact, we had an actual dinner on the road. After stopping at Outback and refueling us and Nigel we rolled into Mansfield about midnight. This track is very hard to learn in just 1 recon lap so Greg and I both agreed that walking the track would help him. We woke up early, drove in early and got "serious". Ok, well as serious as walking out the line, but that's it. I also got some exercise in today with a jog around the 2.4 mile loop. This track is truly what every expert says it to be - technical, fast, and perfect black top.

Just a note: the track is amazing at Mid Ohio, but so are the facilities and the grounds personnel. This is a huge part to being out at the tracks.

Greg came off the morning session wanting more! He ran well, but thought he could go faster and harder. I gave him permission to take Nigel to town around the track. Come the afternoon, all of his studying video, maps, and walking had paid off and he dropped over 10 seconds. We are sitting 57th overall and 3rd in class. We will have some seconds to drop off at NJMP - Lightning course.

Pictures will have to wait to be uploaded because the computer is being tempermental. Unlike Greg and I, the computer and I are no longer getting along. It doesn't want to read my CF card from the camera and it doesn't want to export video - next year I will bring 2 different things. One is a bigger lense for the camera so we can get some up close shots. The other is NOT going to be a net book.

Here are the pictures and video!
