My fastest lap times ever at Barber. This was also my first time running in
the Adv group with NESBA at Barber, and there were amazingly few bikes out, so
I had lots of open track. My best laps were 1:40.

Not one of my most graceful laps...fortunately nobody was immediately behind me, it
could have been bad. Once I ran wide going into the 'Esses' and clipped the
curbing, both wheels slid about 3 inches to the right. This was enough to keep
me from turning left, so I hit 2 more sets of curbing and finally rolled through
the gravel. I'm amazed I didn't crash (head up, clutch in, off the brakes really
does work). After that, I continued 3 more laps so as not to finish the day with
a bad experience, then pitted and considered myself lucky!

A short clip of Jerry's crash in T2 at Barber. He ran a little wide right across
the wet spot in the track, and had a bit of a high-side once the tires regained
traction. Fortunately, he's going to be ok.

Skip teaching me to go faster. We hit 1:39 half a dozen times, and he was just
cruising out there (notice all the wheelies he did). His normal pace is 7 seconds
faster! This was during the NESBA Advanced-only day, a green track all day long.
We were out there well over 30 minutes.
