Nice pictures! I'm looking forward to seeing some video.

Driving a road course is just a series of drag races interrupted by corners.

Thats funny. I always thought it was a series of corners with a drag race to the next corner. :)

Want to have an EVEN BETTER time? While high performance driving on a road course can be a blast, just imagine REALLY RACING side by side while you are doing it. Good to see a drag racer appreciate road racing!

Don't forget to add, with cars just as fast as you are!

Then you can really see the differences in driver and who can outdrive who.

Welcome to the slippery slope of HPDE Ernie :)

Your car is much better suited for VIR and Summit's main circuit. Don't get me wrong I like the Shenandoah circuit, but I feel it's not the best for newbies- not a lot of room for error. Mazda drivers has an event at VIR 8/30-8/31 :eviilgrin:

One Lap?
 
Now you see why this car is such a great choice for the One Lap - it's the Swiss Army Knife of race cars (that won't totally break your budget).....and it will be much harder for you to blow your diff to bits racing this way...not that you've ever done that before :wink:

The vid was real boring. It was filmed in the same spot and was about an hour long.
The tires were like glue!
And thanks Howard :D
