Default Found some new Optima footage on YouTube.
Funny.. I haven't even watched it all at first but I love the shot of me launching at the autocross.. must of been after the fix.

Looks like a TV show.. complete with product spots. lol

But there are some cool optima shots and those Radicals are super cool.

long ass video:

Some cool footage....but he clearly doesn't understand/know what he was watching all day!

He says that he turned a great lap in a Vette....I bet it wan't as good as the leaders did in their 'old cars'!

Oh well, we all enjoyed ourselves!

There's no way that big tuff guy could turn down Mary if she challenged him to an auto-x too! That would be a day he would beg to forget! LOL

I agree. Does the G-tech vs Dynolicious video ring any bells?

I love how he said that most of these cars are "built for show only. Like this 32 coupe that broke a suspension"

He's feeding the crowd that follows his show. He probably knows less about pro-touring than I do about Mitsubishi Lancer. I do now one thing, you better hope he doesn't bring one to the challenge. LOL

I have to agree Todd! I have been in Dan's (Conekiller13) STI both on the street and open track....bad ass car! He auto-x's the hell out of that car and does VERY well chasing points! Lancers and STI's are cool little rockets!
