Dar:

Those are some great vids! :-D That stock car really scared the crap out of me. My passenger at the time could not understand why I was so concerned over that! I'm not sure that guy knew how slow turn 8 was?!?! :idea: Not to mention the fact that you actually have to slow down for it!!! :read:

Dar:
Great job on the vintage videos... seems like just yesterday, but yet years ago :beer: That Taurus spin was a little on the close side :uh oh:

I'm sure this year will be dry and the track will be hot and of course the :beer: will be cold!

I know you have more video... keep it coming

I thought it WAS yesterday!?!?!? I have a good memory, it's just short!

:rockon:

Love the subtitles!

I thought they were great as well. :coolman: He's seen too many of mine!

Here's my view of the "close call"

low res "Close Call"


hi res "Close Call"

And just as a refresher course from last year, this was the ride I gave my friend Syd, following Mike in his Corvette.

It's a nice refresher course. Syd's first ride at RA. I think he was a little nervous going into turn 1 following the Corvette before we caught Mike!?!

Bruce,

I love it, I knew it was just a matter of time! oke:

I laughed the first time I saw it and again just now! You guys are brilliant with your captions! My favorite part is " He was held up by a Corvette"....Classic! :lol:

Here's a short clip back in April when I was doing a little testing.

The car has had some minor adjustments made since last year. :-D

I'm sure you'll agree the best part is at 1:04 and again at 2:29.

Great vid of your car. :rockon: We're going to have to get you some stiffer competition! (makes notes to kick self in ass to hurry up the project)

Great video Bruce.......I was behind you and watching from a distance cause I couldn't keep up. Hopefully this year I'm a little closer now that I have the suspension figured out.:-D

I'm a little more tweaked up this year as well! ;-)oke: Not quite "Mike" tweaked up, but tweaked up! :coolman:

I think your a bit louder, faster and pumped up! :rockon: and the car isn't looking too bad either oke:

........and the sandbagging begins! :-D

Bruce, I'm good for a 2:25.9....will that fend you off? ;-)

Mike you are plenty safe at 2:25. Trust me! You could probably use your cruise control. So you're safe for this year.

Next year may be a different story. Stay tuned! op:

I could run faster than that if I was to do the turn 5 to turn 13 shortcut:idea::beer: and no one saw me do it.:dancenana:

Didn't somebody do that last year?

The one thing I can say... If Mike wishes to draft my square box he will be running quite a bit slower than 2:25. :dw:

The fab 5 pain train is capable of some pretty serious blocking if need be... "protect the line" :read::idea:

Mike,

Something to shoot for.........the C6-R's ran a 2:01 at RA this past weekend. oke:

You are going to have to revise your goal this year - drive with your hair on fire and get into the teens.:beer:

Barring any mechanical issues, Mike will have no problem getting into the mid-teens. Unless some unknown shows, the real battle this year will be for third place.
