Compared to last time there was very little wind, but track temps were ~15* higher. I was able to run my tune and JB4 this time without issue. I really should have put together a new custom map 6 tune for the track. My street tune for map 6 has too much low end TQ for me to drive it smoothly with the on/off throttle and the gears I use for this track. Being in a lower gear on corner exit probably would have helped as it would have taken me out of the huge TQ spike at mid-RPM. Because of this the car felt very loose compared to last time. Felt like I was learning the car again to a certain extent.
Spun the car which I haven't done in like 10 years. Roasted the tires coming out of a corner and just couldn't catch it in time. Always learning 
Here is some vid from the practice session that I spliced together. Totally forgot to film my session with my hotlap

1:33.9 is fast!! I did 1:33.2 in my stripped out E92 M3 with BFG R1S. It was super greasy and I almost spun at Turn 2 so I know the feeling.
I think I have your spin here - I remember thinking I was hoping your car was all right given the huge clouds of dirt that came up!

Thanks! Lots of fast people like you and others there that day.
After that spin I actually had to drive down to the tire shop to have them remount the tire. Had tons of rocks in the tire bead/wheel lip. Luckily they got it done fast and only charged me $10. Wheel got a little scratched up. Could have been worse though. Any day you can drive your car back home is a good track day.
Just got done watching your hot lap on YouTube I think
My best there is in my old EvoX with FBO and RS3 was a 1:33.7.
I know the BMW can beat that time as it sits now.
Track felt unusually "greasy" Saturday. I just chalked it up to the overly torquey tune I was running.
