That's money right there. Depending on the grip level you can try to setup the car so you can power on hard at corner center and stay off the wall without lifting. However, smoother throttle application makes your tires happier and doesn't necessarily hurt laptimes. But if you CAN throttle on hard and keep it turned then your setup is pretty good IMO.
I swear the corner before the start is jacked! I can't even get out of the black groove in that area without being forced to marshall. It's crap! 
No cutting that corner that's for sure.
I just completed a full length practice run to get an idea where I stand. Race line is very important on this track. I would now run a race since I feel dialed in, but my left shoulder is killing me and I had to stop twice to flex it before it cramped up. I will wait until tomorrow.

Got a run in.
Things fell apart after my second pit. Shoulder started aching and then my trigger finger went numb. Had a hell of a time getting around the track and had to let go of the transmitter on several occasion trying to get the feeling back. Ran off the track on my second to the last lap which cost me a lap.

What's going on with your shoulder?
Pits are at 3.5 minutes apart on Speedway which give me plenty of breaks to let go of the transmitter during the pit so there isn't an issue.
Over did it doing pull ups.

I sure hope Pete runs tonight. Be lame if he gave up 3rd 
Sorry guys but I just haven't had time to practice the last couple of weeks and it will probably be like this for a while. I only ran about 10-15 laps on the current track so it's not worth running...to be honest I never planned on running the last race, a 30 minute race is not for me.
OK Rob,you get the win but I pulled out the fast lap. You gonna hold there?
BTW - I got screwed big time on that front corner. I swear I was in the freakin' black groove and still had to marshall. Then it wouldn't marshall so I tried again,then again and it finally did. twice! I think I'll file a complaint to VRC,that corner ain't right!
The second attempt the AI's would not leave me alone,PERIOD!

I'm going to just hold.
Not worth risking first place at this point in the season. I will be happy with adding a point to my lead.
It would be nice to get the fast lap and essentially put you away for the championship though.

If Pete isnt gonna run then I'm just gonna probably call it good with my first run. 30 minutes of that is really hard to do lol.
