We had our 2 day season opener over the weekend. Saturday I drove poorly, but sunday I drove ok, but not great.
My Team-mate drove to 5th Raw overall on both days in his FS '05 S197
My other buddies car was down so he drove mine to 6th Raw.
I ran 21st
Raw out of 67 cars. ( We have several National and Topeka Champs in our club)
Less than 1.8 second separated the top 25 on a 60ish second course.
So my car beat the 2005 Ford GT and and the 911 Turbo, but I wasn't me driving at the time.
Our biggest problem was running out of gear, on the limiter in 2nd 3 or 4 times a run, going to third wasn't that helpful
I got some good in-car vids I'll post later. Here are some stills for now
( note the passenger's, a honda driver, silly grin in this shot)
"real cars dont need hand brakes to drift" me screwin around on a botched run..
