Congrats to all of you! Steve, you have to be on cloud nine right now. What an awesome showing for you, your car and everyone involved. Definitely a team win!

I am so bummed I didn't make it out to this. After seeing everything here and I'm sure a whole lot more to come, I definitely need to go next year. After this, I'm sure the competition will be insane next year! Can't wait!

And the first time Dave ever sat in the drivers seat of Penny was when he was heading out onto the track he had never been around. lol

And for the record.. more than a few cars had "experienced drivers" in them.

That surely speaks volumes of Dave's abilities!

Not sure if it has been said already, but the drivers were only allowed one warm up lap and two timed laps...not a lot of time to get used to anything!!

Congrats your car is an inspiration to many. One of my favorites.

"Fast" lap... yes.

"First timed", never been in this car, never been at this track lap... 153.xx. The only other was the Shelby and it was the Shelby's only lap.

David's new name is... Mr. Consistancy.

**Edit: Did anyone get a video of the Mustang spin ??

I had to leave the event early so I didn't get word on the Vette til tonight. Mark and Tom said the car got 2nd overall. So 1, 2 for Lateral-G.
Also it was Mark's first ime ever as a drive on a road course.
The big thanks to Scott for letting us be part of the Lateral-G team and to Optima Battery, Hot Rod, the other sponsors and Jimi for the event! Do it agian.
Oh and Mark the Vette has our front suspension and reworked C-4 rear, paul Newman's Car Creation did the rear.
