Did you get him? Not long enough man. Your leaving us wanting more. EDIT: nevermind, my realplayer is being a bitch tonight. Only DL 25 secs of fun!

What was your speed into turn 1 behind him? Looked and sounded nice.

Did you check your "help" plugs before you went out this time? That story is making me think about evans this time around.

Nice work again .

Hey bigisland,

yeah i caught him, after the traffic he let me pass, maybe you didnt get the entire video? try clearing your browser cache and re-downloading the vid

i never look at the speedo, but a passenger said we were doing 155 through turn one!!!

I was actually letting off behind the lambo in one and two, didnt want to cramp him too much :-)

Nice video. It's always good to see cars like that being used where they should be, both yours and the Lamborghini.

Yep my realplayer is only downloading like 10 -20 secs. I tried some of your other videos. It's the same thing. I'll kick the computer in the morning and it'll work

I was guessing 160 mph into turn1. Very nice!!!

yeah, if you watch the other BIR vid on my vids page (http://64.158.28.140/MPEG/TwinVision...s_with_dad.mpg), you can see that usually i hit 160 right before the turn, touch the brakes and go into the turn at 140, ... but the car felt really good on wednesday and i was in a rythm, so we were flyin in turn one...the 155 that the passenger said he caught on one of the laps dosnt surprise me, but does scare the sh_t outa me :-) (hehehe)

2. was that a mita holding you and the lamo up? who let that guy in the same race?
3. why didnt you take the lambo in turn 2 or 3?

Encosiderate,

It's definitely not an auto.

Damian, just a small criticism: It looks like you tend to be "yanky" with the steering wheel at times - i.e. waiting longer until turn-in, but turning-in more abruptly as opposed to wide and linear. While the former is more "fun," the latter is less dangerous.

i believe the answers are because it's not a race, it's an open track session for people to just have fun, and the reason he couldn't just pass the lambo earlier was the same as the miata, restricted passing areas.

Nice video as usual. I wish I got to beat on cars like that near me. When I _do_ see them, it's always on the street and they're being driven by 75 year old men who barely manage the speed limit.
