A little better, but something is still a miss

Hey guys, went to the track. I know I said I was gonna record it for you guys, but I can't hold a phone and record while driving crazy fast. So better safe than sorry. Keep in mind the track is 5800ft above sea and today was very very windy (according to weatherchannel.com 25-35 MPH wind blowing NW to SW which the track is starting line south to north. So winds were hitting me head on. So This should make me slower right?)

Anyway, here's today's activities.





As you guys can see I did good and bad.

Any opinions?

There were a couple runs I missed third

you guys also gotta remember hes in Colorado and close to 5000ft above sea level.. those times aren't horrible for an inexperienced driver at that elevation. More practice at getting those 60' times down and you'll be pretty much where you should be.

I know sometimes I wheel hopped and sometimes I spun out. I definitely was all over the place.

Yeah they were a concern, but after Vince and others I think the issue is the track I'm at is 5800 ft above sea level and based on winds that can change the pressure + or - and since we had 25-35 MPH winds against me, it probably contributed as well.

I think I could have broke 13, but not sure.

More like 5800ft above. Also it's on the mountain so from what I understand the changing weather increases the pressure so it's like adding or taking away feet. Maybe I'm not saying that right, but importkiller explained it better.
