RX7 FD @ CMP Oct. 17-18
 
Check out our first time at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) with the Tarheel Sports Car Club (THSCC) the weekend of Oct. 17-18, 2009.

Saturday the car never felt full planted, and it turned out to be a mis-aligned swaybar link.

The manual AtomicRex steering rack felt right at home at the track giving great feel!

My trackdawg buddy took 6th overall in the car during the time-trial against purposely built track cars.

Videos are below, enjoy!

PS: Thanks to Fritz for an awesome Kirby Seat- nothing like finally feeling planted and ONE with the car . . .

Yep, video camera mounted on the rollbar diagonal.

This is what they see in their rear-view mirror:

Unfortunately, my buddy is 4-seconds faster than me in the same car, on the same track!
