Great video. That 944 turbo almost losing it in front of you was rather entertaining. You smoked the other RX7(red) like he was naturally aspirated.
The Viper got you back though. Very impressive. Great driving. Keep having fun.
Good Luck

Damian,
From one track junkie to another, brilliant job on the video. Maybe some of these 1/4 mile addicts will see how the other half lives and recognize what they are missing out on.

Matty: Yes MADS is exactly like that!

Regards,
Crispy

Yea, there is one about 40 minutes away. Doesn't look as good as the track you were on, but should still be fun. A few of the locals here run their cars out there.

That was a kick *** video and driving.
Your steering inputs looked very smooth and controlled.
A larger in car window would have been better though.

You appeared to be going really fast for having an instructor onboard.
Shame on you for making another RX-7 look bad on video.

Well driven Vipers are tough competition on fast tracks.
RX-7's do amazingly well in stock form.
Upgraded tires and brakes are all that is needed to really dial up the performance and take advantage of the light weight of the FD under braking and cornering.
