damn I was on the edge of my seat the whole time The freakin' video with all the info and angles was great! Only thing I would change is, instead of having the small picture of the hood facing forward I would make a rearview camera so you could see the look on peoples faces as you pass them up Anyways you are one bad *** driver man, good luck in the new season.

Thumbs up

SWEET!!!

Almost got a chubby watching that video! Awesome job keeping the pressure on the vette! He was working hard to stay in front of you! I bet he was pissed that a "Mazda" was all over him.

Outstanding!

Looked awesome bro. Would a bigger hairdryer help or no? Seemed to have some nice straights that you could really open it up.

Somehow I'm thinking you started in last place on the grid. None of the cars in the vid had a chance and the Vette was borderline obnoxious. Driving all over the place keeping you from using your car and even appeared to slow down and pull away again using his torque just sad

Merry Christmas and lets see some vids of someone who's actually given you some comp

Great video! I LOVE it! I was impatient the whole time waiting for you to pass the Vette...That guy just couldn't accept that you were about to kick his a$$, lol...I would have loved to see his face when you passed him.

What's up with your car? Have you been racing lately? Would love to watch some recent footage as well as some new pics of that beast of a car!

Keep it up!

Ha ha... that's the difference between racing and open track/HPDE. I'm watching that vette thinking, "what an a** hole", then I realize he's supposed to do that.

Damian... you need to join us at VIR again this year.

Excellent run, that Vette really didn't want you to pass him. You clearly had a better line, sounded like he was struggling to keep up his rhythm with the line he was taking.

That was a fantastic video... You definitely know the limits of your vehicle better, which was very evident in your setup moves to eventually get the pass. Its almost as if you knew his braking threshold better than he did by the end there.

Great video, great driving!

My son was fortunate enough to ride shotgun with Damian at Autobahn 2 years ago for about 15 laps. He still talks about it. Great driving Damian. You get better every day...................Dave

As always, amazing video man. How many laps were you battling with the vette? Did anyone else notice how damn loud the yellow FB with the massive wing was?
