NIIICE VID!!

I take it you were shifting a lot?

That course looks pretty technical, with a few spots where it might be a good idea to down shift. heh....must be nice....


*Side note* See....I wish OUR courses were more technical like that one. Ours are mostly designed by Vette drivers so they're REALLLY long and fast, with LOOONG sweepers.

Like this one... that I actually hit 3rd gear (got about mid way through) on. Some people were saying they got up to about 60+ mph on course (vettes) and that it was against rules to go that fast?


But anyway...
GOOD STUFF MAN!!! (you should get some IN-car footage too!)

No clue...just met him this season with his Z06....and his RX-7. OMFG that car is SIIICK..."It's just my 'fun' car when I don't really feel like beating people in SS or X class" -Mr. Ames LMFAO

What's even MORE funny....he STILL kicks people's *** in his RX-7! lol Yes...he's a machine, but a bit biased. lol (He's not a fan of our lil '4 bangers' lol)

i run at thge same events as amctmg, and though ive only been in two events, i am pleased with the course layouts(one of them layed out by amc himself.)

anyway, the proof is in the puddin and the proof is that vettes aren't runnin more than a few seconds faster than any other given expert if at all...

http://www.scca-susq.com/2004Results...-04results.pdf

those are the results from the last event.

check it out...
