That was fun to watch. Love VIR and you absolutely need to use the gators there. A lot of people are afraid to use them but you need them especially up the climbing esses. He was carrying serious speed through there and on the front straight. I think the front straight shows how good the aero and tires are. I saw mid 150s before he was on the brakes. Coming around that slight bend in the high 140s even is pretty exciting.

I wish they ran the traditional full course for the lightning lap but only because it's what I'm familiar with. I'd like to see what kind of speed they hit on the back straight and how much speed it could carry coming into the roller coaster.
