I got it that time!!

Do you run with your windows up or down? If up how is your personal temp while running. Stuffy or OK. I can't figure out if I want to keep them in and just use lexan or go with window nets. Either is OK for the racing I am going to do. Also do you have a driving suit or just regular street clothes?( jeans long sleeve shirt, sneakers etc..)

Sorry to get off the video. It looks like you could eat up the gap at any time desired.

the club's rule is windows downa ll the way or up all the way, I run with windows down. I also run with heat on to drop temps, so it does get hot inthere, but its not bad with a 160 mph breeze :-) ...and I like very hot humid weather, soo 100 degrees in the cockpit dosnt bother me at all. :-)

no drivers suit yet, that will come soon :-)

I talked to his son who was running a corvette, and he said his dad (the lambo owner) is retired- lives in Minnesota but has a house down in Florida that he lives in during the winter. Has a Diablo and another crazy car i don't remember what it was now though. That's about all the info i got.

Damian's car ownz!

by the way guys, i want to point out that im not running a cabillion psi boost and making 2 zillion horsepower, you dont need all that much hp to be fast on a road cource, its more about suspention and handling balance and braking, and my track car was setup very well in that respect, ...yeas it has power too, but concider this, I only run 11-12 psi boost, that is probably between 330-350hp (based on its dyno number of 370 at 15 psi) and the car is plenty fast on road cource because of the suspention balance ad braking power.

... god forbid i turn on the boost controller and run 15psi ;-)

(next year maybe I will, im still learnign the car and dont need any more power right now)

Damian,

are you using the same suction cup mount for the in the car footage?

filmtools, where you linked your purchase from has another mount for in the car shots...

nope, i use a hard mount for incar footage, a cup mount would need triangulation to be stable (3 cups like i use outside the car), but my hard mount is very stable:
