Enjoy everybody LOL didn't get passed all day surprisingly.
 
Here is the video of my session in the rain. My apologies for the quality of the video picture. It was the first time using my GoPro and I must not have things set just right.

This was from the Orange Group, session 2. Lap times were about 3:01 because of the wet track and still learning the line. You can hear the conversation between my instructor and I quite well. By the end of the day I was in the 2:43-2:45 range for my laps and I'll get the video of that session up at some point.
 
Here is the video from my 4th session of the day. My instructor cleared me to go solo for this session. I was able to get about 3 good laps in (including the out lap) before my IMRC controller stopped working. You can hear the sound of the engine change when it stopped at 9:12 in the video when I was coming out of turn 1 on lap 3.

When the car was behaving, I topped out at 107, 110, and 105 mph going in to turn 1 and I turned lap times of 2:46.4 and 2:43.7 for the first 2 full laps. You can see that I was basically keeping up with the Mustangs in front of me, as well as the G8 that passed me with the Corvette. (they were doing a "lead/follow" training and were right behind me leaving the pit lane to start the session, and I kept ahead of them for a lap and a half)

After the IMRC stopped working, I was topping out at 97 or 98 MPH with fairly consistent lap times between 2:50 and 2:52.

Again, my apologies for the video quality. I only included about 15 minutes of the 25 minute session because it seemed like the third video file was worse than the first two I merged together in the link below.
