    Chuckwalla carousel speeds

    Hey you guys in ACR's and compe coupes with aero that are fast at Chuckwalla, what speeds should I be going through the carousel at?
    Watching my videos there I'm not even hitting 100mph, but scared to go faster than that. I feel that are is key to pick up a couple of seconds...


    Thanks!

    Funny you bring this up, I remember when I was there with you and the Viper group I had the same problem. I rode with an instructor (can't remember his name) for one session and he kept telling me to go faster into the carousel and I thought he was crazy! Then when Chris drove my car I thought he was going to go off track with how fast he was going into the turn. Looking back it's just deceiving because the banking catches you so much harder than you would think.

    Yeah I wouldn't have rode with him! LMAO! Too bad you didn't look at the speed he was going, but I'm sure at that moment that was the last thing on your mind! Hey I remember Tom O'dell etc setting up your car, did they leave your wing on the #2 setting?
