Well, Mark does have "some" track experience.. lol

When we took the Spring Mountain driving class and did the ride along with the instructors they were hauling ass around the track and using one hand to talk on the walkie talkies! lol

Makes you feel like a pretty crappy driver when they drive better with on hand than you do with two.

I noticed two things that looked odd to me. At 4:07 in the first clip is that a guy standing just on the other side of the cones on the right? Also, it looks like a car sitting just off the track outside what I would guess is turn one (4:20 or so in the same clip). Seems odd that there would be people allowed on a hot track not behind barriers...

Very cool !! Amazing car. How I would LOVE to take a lap or two in that! Even as a passenger!

No seat belt and steering with just his thumb!?

Still it's a cool video!

Sure does.. it's takes a good driver to show off a good car.

Cool video. thanks Charley, Mark makes it look easy one handed. I"m going to call shotgun at least once when I get Mark's latest project painted for next summer.

Did Mark think it slowed him down? I'm not saying I'm as fast as Stielow but I ran out there with a 3 point and didn't slide around enough to hinder my driving. I did have both hands on the wheel. Car looks to be damn fun to drive.
