You make it look like everybody else is just out for a Sunday drive...
Good show.

It was Sunday . Maybe it was suspose to be a Sunday drive and I got it all wrong. Well for 15 dollars for 20minuts of laptime , Ihad to get my moneys worth.
Looks like you had way too much fun, as it should be! Looked like a well-controlled bunch of people out there as well.
What was the passing rule? Seemed to me that you passed only on the outside and not in a turn unless you could help it. IIRC, the silver winged Porsche (GT3?) passed you on the inside exiting a turn. Looked clean, just close (about the 8:20 mark on the video)

$15 for 20 minutes!?? That's insanely cheap I'd assume.... ASSume I should say.
never been on a race track, but locally there is an indoor Kart track w/ top speeds of around 35 mph and the course is about 1000' w/ 9 turns. Cost: $15 per 8 minutes of racing.... about 18 or 20 laps.
now, i'll go watch the vid!

No passing rules on that track. And it's really a fair price, sometimes they let you go up to 45 minutes for the same money.

No passing rules, But I let him know that I was slowing slighty so he could get by.
Nice video! Car sounds great! Another Porsche I saw pinched you pretty close. I also saw a BMW pinch you off into the grass in a braking zone towards the end of the video....
Yep, the gras and the gravel hitting the bottom made me pucker a little.
Roy the newest video versus the " losing it " video of 2004 show a dramatic difference in terms of driving smoothness and finesse... Kudos!
It was a pleasure to watch your videos, thanks for sharing. I'll be out in the garage all the earlier tomorrow getting the car back together now. Your video is the right kind of inspiration. That looks like a wonderful track, by the way!

Price-performance ratio is very good. However, the track is lacking some elevation change IMHO.
