Aside from needing to be faster all over that track, I need to be much faster around turn 10. I rode with a few people with both awd and rwd, and both had the rearend out the whole way around.

Edit: btw nick 95 6sp's avatar looks like the same chicane as in my avatar!

I have to believe the best way to take 14 is to cut it very tight on the right, so tight that you pretty much have to drive over the rubble strip/edge on that side. If you don't do that it leaves you to make more of a correction to straighten out as you enter the main straight and I've seen more than a couple guys spin when doing that, even hitting the barrier on the left of the main straight! When I was at the first ever track day on Thunderbolt a guy totalled out his almost new Corvette doing that.

As far as #10, last time I was there earlier this year a guy driving some kind of hot Porsche racecar, not sure if it was a Cup car or some other Grand Am variety but it was a full blown racecar, said he was flat out and upshifting as he accelerated through turn 10! ...my car wont' do that!
