I went right every run, it worked for me.

*shrug*
Then how do you know the left wouldn't have worked better? ;)
FYI. Jeff netted .5" by going to the right over me going to the left.

He netted half an inch by hanging to the right? Some might say that was worth it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oversteer is better than understeer because you don't see the tree you're hitting.

Given that I was on the limiter for a good 7-8 blips going right, it would've been much worse if I went left.
I went left and was hitting the limiter for a long time. Also was riding the limiter at the finish, tried 3rd a couple times but the worn shifter bushing made it impossible to get back to 2nd for the finish.

Worn shifter bushing huh! Gives me something to think about.

I can never get my car back to second during autox, this is never an issue road racing or on the streets. I destroyed the finish on my last run because of that, just got tired of pegging the rev limiter. Sorry course workers :oops:

Huh no! He netted .5 sec because he's a freakishly good racer ;)

Granted, execution I'm sure had something to do with it, but not half a second worth in 300 feet... At least that's the excuse I'm using. :D No excuses for all the time he put on me in all the other sectors of the course, except to say I was driving like poo. :? Which brings me to my next point. What makes him so "freakishly good" is his ability to do it every time.
