Word must have spread. I lead a fellow Firebird through Turn 3. We find out how the brakes are holding out in the second lap when I hit Turn 1 way too hot. Moments later we exit the Chute, barrelling straight for Turn 5, the beginning of the Carousel. The Firebird resists slowing again, but determined to not hit the infield for a third time I punch the brake pedal into the engine bay.
Firebird goes straight.
I think we'll go a little slower, just practice the line if that's okay. Hard on the gas, up a rise, on the way to Turn 4. Mike does not object. We cruise the track a little slower than I had been going in previous sessions. A convertible Firebird caught up with me during my the slide but repeated efforts to wave it by fail.
