Aggressive was the word for it too, I had a crappy, cone filled first run, and 
was pushing it pretty hard on the next run. A little too hard, 20/20 hindsight 
would tell me.

Me too, and I probably was, due to not wanting to wad up the car...... I had 
already heard about the roll earlier in the day, as I was in the third run 
group.  Don't think for a minute that scenario wasn't going through my head.

That's because you probably don't have a 4.42 diff.    :^)  Even with 8,000+ 
available rpm, I needed 3rd extensively. These were the fastest courses I have 
run.

I as well, would like to be faster at my next tour.  Look me up at the next NER
