BSP is becoming very interesting, but more so, what I'm learning and re-learning as a driver. This weekend was a great event, with a solid course that had elements I needed to work on and become faster at. Big Thanks to Hank for coming out with me on one of my runs and giving me some advice on the parts I was struggling with.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO_pnN0-mVkTYeNMA1HvXGoQWmOwJHdXapIr2AGRcL6e3Nfnu5Vn_nAmIKo-yEUW3Z87odwZYf-cGWT2DcjonSznYOxzlD7mc53rr2wp0AO5VeoZRu09LoT_lrv61B2qRKaoHI_0wgcOw/s400/02.jpg)

For starters, I need to make my lines with more of an arch to them when approaching offsets (or clam shells). I'm doing too much of a" point and shoot" approach surprisingly. I also need to keep focusing on getting on the gas earlier, and staying on the gas through a turn, trusting the grip. Another issue is that I need to learn my braking zones a bit more and remind myself to stop over-braking (I've gotten a lot better, but still need work!). Lastly, I need to focus on learning the high speed sections of any course and figuring out the fastest way to take them, since those are sections I can easily lose to faster cars on.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikPy1nz8rCDon3PhL2yO5PFUFExHvXO9IRgk6I3zNklkBhGXAdO5zsJ2ghV_FChBeQ_7MV7QpItDNf7xNHXsX7W0TOMYRISVT0wO5SVe7GJqOEpwZ4jZT4qghtXTGlr-JkHb_jxwU3DcA/s400/01.jpg)

Those are all things I have to work on, but it only motivates me to work harder. My raw time could have been good enough for first place, but unfortunately I will have to settle for 3rd today. My fastest dirty run was a '58.3 and my fastest clean was a '59.9. The results are located here, and I have videos below of my fastest dirty run and then fastest clean run. The rest of my videos are located on my YouTube page, which I've redone a bit and have started organizing the videos in playlists.
I wonder how many of these road blocks I'll be able to break and refine upon this year. Until then, stay tuned.
