vs
Bypass: http://youtu.be/yT7AADEXgGE

What do you guys think?
Karl Chicca was driving in the first vid with turn 5, Dave in the second with the bypass. In addition, if they had equal skills 1:54 and 2:01 is a 7 second split.

We've talked about this before G... how many seconds faster do you think Dave is over Karl, all other things equal?

I just got an e-mail from Vince saying we actually have some video of T-Hill from the Gopro. He's going to try and e-mail it to me. If it doesn't go through I will be in the Bay Area next week to work on my car and upload vid.

I doubt we'll be able to stream the whole vid. Plus I don't think these guys wanna see 10 min of you banging your head against the inside of your trailer.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
