Looks like a real hoot and she was passing some pretty high dollar builds so that should make you feel good . Of course watching Farrington blow by you ought to give you some motivation to get your motor into G-Velle

Thanks Brian, yes the IRS (even as crappy of a design this is) definitely soaks up the track. The transitions from left to right were incredibly smooth and very planted.
We are heading to Lingenfelter Cars and Coffee this Saturday morning, then on to CARS Inc. for their show. You should come out.

That was me doing the passing She did very well, and was picking up speed each session. She did hit 110 with Danny coaching her.

Amazing to watch the guy ahead of you for 5 minutes - he never once got within 10 feet of an apex...

Organizers should see that and pull him to the side and give him an instructor before he hurts himself. Then he points you by but stays in the throttle... SMH. A point by should be given WITH a lift of the throttle. Get the pass done quickly. It's not a drag race to the corner where both are then off line.

Glad to see the Vette performed so well and trouble free!! Looks like a blast.

You have much more patience than I would have shown him.....

Aaron, I saw you post the video in the vid and pic thread. Looks like a blast. I also wondered about the Camaro driver not giving the point by and then not lifting. Maybe he missed the fact there are not any driver talent scouts at these things ready to employ folks as a driver...

Anyhow I hadn't checked in on this thread in a while (think the last time you were doing donuts in the dark lol?) and was happy to see you guys getting to drive it in an event.

Car looks great!

A lift's not necessary if you're driving a stock Miata.......just say'n.
