I got a chance to run at Inde thanks to a good friend. This was with Jeff Andretti's Racing School. International Touring car driver Kai Goddard was teaching my group. These are a few laps following and leading at Inde.
My car had problems with the ECU so I couldn't rev past 6k rpms, meaning I had no power since I couldn't even get into my powerband. Regardless, I had a blast and can't wait to go out again!
Car specs:
2004 Honda S2000
17x9 +45 Enkei RPF1 with Hankook Ventus RS3 tires and Buddyclub N+ coilovers.
Weight: 2840 lbs with driver and full tank of gas.
Power: 215 whp @ 8k rpm.
Please feel free to watch the rest of the videos from Inde Motorsports Ranch.
@63mrl For the most, part I agree. I wasn't braking at 50 seconds, or at 1:12 seconds, just off the throttle a bit but not completely as I didn't want to lighten the rear end. I was definitely on throttle at 1:18, but being in an S2000, there wasn't much power lol, but the line you suggest is a good one. The last bit had a few factors causing the slight mishap, but thanks for the advice. I'm posting up a new video of the event held in October by Nasa, check it out!

@monstamike79 Thanks buddy! I went back out there in October, a little faster this time and not too many close calls lol.

At :50 little to no braking is required. Lite brake at 1:12 to transfer weight for the turn-in drivers right, thought 1:18 is a blind incline off-camber you have to be on power and exit driver right to line up the next 90 degree left turn, 4:39 throttle-off oversteer. The throttle is your friend here. I instruct with a local performance driving club ProAutoSports out of Phx, AZ and an affiliate of ASA Racing.
