Seat time and experience rules.
Well, I seem to have enough power.. lol

Dave Pozzi said it was a quite a ride.. needed that helicopter chase cam to get the full effect. Nathan drove Rolex series cars, so he really knows how to bring it.

Next mod is to give my fronts more room to compress into. I also want to take out some roll, but I'm afraid of screwing up how the car is working. Right now the rear bar is disconnected and I have 500 front and 275 rear springs.
