RX-7 vs Corvette C6 Grand Sport

Found this on Youtube the other day and thought that I'd share. I wonder if the owner of the FD is on here.

I think the owner of the FD is on the forum. Forget his user name.

Awesome 7, but the GS Vette was dialed in for that track!

Maybe old Rob Dahm can bring his 'Vette to challenge.

That guy is me lol.

I had a lot of fun that day. This was only my second time driving that particular track so I only pushed as far as my skill and guts would allow. I spent the week watching the old Jack Olsen video on youtube and I should be able to get into sub 30's with more practice.

I have a lot to learn still and have made some technical improvements since with the help of some of my friends who drive professionally. Looking forward to my next event with Global Time Attack in two weeks. Come say hi at Sevenstock if you're attending!

The other fellow had a lot more track time than you have had and you essentially tied him. Good job. Next time, you'll win!

I appreciate the kind words Gordon! We're actually good friends now so that rematch may happen soon - hopefully another track like Chuckwalla or Autoclub Roval
