Awesome the car did so well and it sounds like everyone had a good time. Car sounds awesome in the video.
The important question from here is, did you strap in and take a few laps for yourself????

Now --- couple this --- with a "WTF WERE YOU THINKING" NASA decided to hold this weekends races BACKWARDS --- so nobody knows the track - the track is "sketchy" at speed -- so much so that the PORSCHE guys told the officials -- "THEY" were running the CCW (normal) way or they weren't running as a group... so they (smart) ran CCW while we all had to run CW.
Now imagine -- new car - zero seat time - Poor Benny Moon has to be "DA MAN" and not only is doing test and tune - and marching to Suttons orders (LOL) about do this and that because we're still dialing --- AND the man goes out and posts fast time of the day.
Hats off to Mister Moon.....
The rest of the crew has been THRASHING to keep this missile moving forward. AND OMG does it ever move forward!
Yes we know the video sucks - and there's all manor of things we will work on -- but being YouTube heros the first day out is not the goal. Trust me - we'll get better at this. It's a Vbox HD 2 camera system - and there's a ton of stuff you can do with it - but takes time to figure out. We will.
Our fast time of the day was a 1:56.174
What the people in the paddock are saying is the CW version is about 3 seconds slower than the normal CCW layout... Sadly it's also, so hot, and so smokey that at times is hard to even want to be "active" and suck in all that bad air -- and I thank everyone that is here helping -- the crew - Dylan - Greg (TOG) - Jeff - Randy.... and, of course Mister Ron Sutton.
OH -- AND SKIP the first 4 minutes ---- get right after it!! Go back and watch from the beginning later.... LOL
