2024 Derek Wagner T3 SCCA Super Tour June Sprints Road America Sunday Final Race.

Terrible start on my part. Dropped from 2nd to 7th and worked my way back into 5th. Doored by a T2 car and shortly after that same T2 car drove it into the wall at the end of Canada corner, prematurely ending our race as we were group 9 last to go out. No time to make up more positions.

U need a faster race car

[@derekwagnerracing133]

@@jamesking2797 would need to switch a different car. I’m tapped out per Spec e46 rules for BMW.

Ultimately, I wish you guys had been given a chance to really race!

Those water temps are scary

[@derekwagnerracing133]

These are normal operating temps for the track conditions and weather. But I hear ya..

[@CameronParkhurst]

Standing and waving yellow heading into Canada and you guys are still going flat out. What gives?

[@derekwagnerracing133]

🤷‍♂️

[@POM_Autosports]

I disagree. We were not going "flat out". I was braking an entire marker ahead, and the data shows the Vmin to be 6-7mph slower than full pace thru Canada Corner. At no point did the car have any yaw or slip angle, I also made sure to not use outside curbing and not make any tire squeal. I feel we were 100% in control of our vehicles thru that yellow sector.
Thoughts @derekwagnerracing133?

[@CameronParkhurst]

@@POM_Autosports I will look closer, but I am seeing the same speeds in that zone that I am able to observe from before the incident. And faster lap times. I guess it depends upon an interpretation of what it means to "slow significantly."

[@POM_Autosports]

@@CameronParkhurst lap time dropping is due to going faster in other parts of the track as driver confidence and tire temperatures comes up.
Considering that car went off on lap 3, was personally not up to speed on the first lap couple laps as it was the first real dry laps of the weekend.
I feel the biggest part of navigating thru a yellow sector is keeping the car in control, managing trajectory and staying single file.
