Awesome video. Do you know what your speeds were on the banking?

It looked pretty bad to me and I figured he was done for.

But they worked on it over night and I snapped this picture of him running the speed stop on Sunday.



Really happy for them for getting the car on the track again.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure this is the car that had the engine failure on the autocross portion today.



We saw it shooting fire out from under it near the finish but I didn't have my camera out at the time. Hate that they had that happen to them.

I know this though, all of these competitors were leaving it all out on the track. I've never heard so many LS engines getting wrung out so much like that before. It was like music to my ears. And they got SO MANY runs in!!! In the first autocross session I bet most of the guys got at least (25) 46-50 second runs in. and they had a whole 'nuther 2 hour session to run in the afternoon as well. Same with the Speed Stop. No lack of track time there at all.

The quickest I was able to get the car to go in the banking was around 152 mph according to my RPM/tire size/gear ratio. Having never driven on anything with banking before I found it to be a blast. The force you feel of the car being pushed into the track is incredible.

Billy - could you start to feel the aero limitations of the car at that speed? I would think you would, but??????
