Default that bypass is a bitch for people who arent familiar with it...

I know the guy that was in the yellow M3..I bought my tile from him for my bathroom remodel. The guy owns Tile Fantastic in Campbell. Are you driving that 4000Q with the V8?

I got down to 2:15's in the afternoon, I made a lot of changes to the car. I would say the P-cars and the NSX'S were getin 1:54-8's
I did not look at the TT guys times.

Default I puckered at 15 seconds...

outside pass in turn 3 usually ends up in the grass on the outside with the car facing the wrong way ;-P

That's more carnage than in most races there heh. That should be a poster video for why driving fast on a race track in traffic is meaningfully not much different than racing. You had more near misses there than I've had all year ha!

Great video...done hundreds of laps there in endurance races and that place is so ingrained in my mind that I could feel the bumps while watching your video

I missed the Radical Cup race at T-hill but woulda warned them about turn 3 also ;-P

Default the one and only time I took my wife for a ride in a race car...

I went out in one of our race Civics in an HPDE group and was kind of "mixing it up" and for some stupid reason I tried to pass a guy on the outside of 3.

As I finally got the car stopped...after having furrowed a large trail a couple of hundred feet through the tall grass that was there at the time, I said "okay so...that's what it's like to spin!"

She didn't really enjoy that drive and surprisingly never asked for another ;-P

(my wife to my mom): "get the helmet off before I puke!"
