Learned some hard lessons at the Friday test. WAY too cocky, spun twice in the span of a lap. All totally avoidable and really embarrassing. I was trying to drive the car the way I thought it could be driven, not the way it was telling me it could be driven. Tires were in much worse condition than I believed them to be but, rather than listen to what the tires were telling me, I chose to overdrive them. Live and learn.
This is the 2nd of the two spins. If you watch my steering inputs, you can see I'm countersteering almost immediately after turn in. Rears were simply not gonna stick. About the only positive you can say is that I recognized I was in trouble immediately and managed to send the car straight off and not spin on track in front of the (completely and totally faultless) #75 car behind me.
Adding insult to injury, I was unable to get the car refired (was very hot, did not want to start). Was eventually able to get it running, but only after the wrecker had gotten there. Very inconvenient and, worse, dangerous for all involved, as this happened at the exit of the fastest turn on the course. I personally apologized to both the track manager and the driver of the #75 car, as the entire episode was not anywhere near the driving standards I want to hold myself to.
