I hope the second thing you did after changing your pants was to go buy a lottery ticket!

All 10s, except from the Russian judge who gave it a 9 for not nailing the entry perfectly centered.

I have to agree, that was a pretty perfect entry into the paddock. Where's the problem?

That's more send it than a UPS plane could carry.

...and we can tell, by the warm setting sun, that it was "last lap of the day...".

Last ski run of the day, last lap of the day.... NOT the time to go for your personal best, because that's when bad things happen. IMHO, final sessions are a great time to dial back to about 70%, and really focus on perfect line and all the visual markers you use. Sleep on it, and the next day your subconscious will have updated your brain to hit the points you need to hit...

Do you go to black flag after that? Or just straight onto the trailer and go home?

Joking aside (and there are some good ones here), you’re right.

It was great seeing so many folks out last session at Road Atlanta this past weekend doing exactly what you mentioned - 70%, practicing their lines. I noticed some markers I hadn’t seen before, it was a learning opportunity.
