Had a great time today. Track started out very wet and dried as the day progressed. This video is of my last run, track is dry. The chicane wasn't in effect today, so the speeds at the end of the front straight were very high. My car was topping out at ~120mph. The 915 and 16"wheels with the Hoosiers.....no top end. Car ran perfect other wise. I tried to stay out of the red line, got a whole season to go........Drove it home.
JP came out and said hi, I cooked him a burger for lunch and we discussed our up coming autocross season and the finer points of suspension geometry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFyVJg3Wm8s |
