    I didn't use the two step on that one. Just foot brake, no boost

    Only issue with a 9 is certs and class limit.
    I am NOT going to second guess or speak for Jim, but first day, on an unfamiliar track in a car he's had limited experience with at the start of a week long deal, I'd say he's doing pretty well. :D

    If Jim is leaving off the foot brake and no boost that little Jeep has a ton left in it.

    You could always use a little nitrous to help spool it up, it sure wouldn’t be the first time it’s been done.

    Yeah but it's easier to slow a car down than it is to make it faster. When we had breakfast he told me he was still figuring out the launch on boost.

    Not bad. The engine sounds just a little bit funny at idle now. I might look into it.
