olchakla, the vid clearly shows that we -- Steve driver, me passenger -- ran both the inside & outside courses. outside to inside to outside...

it was well worth the money. i just wish i had been able to participate/drive

now Steve was a little less aggresive than maybe you or i would have been, but it was a blast none the less :beer:

I missed the details, why could only Steve drive your vehicle? Riding along as a passenger for $200 wasn't worth it. Or was it a few freebies that they took you around in your car for the trill and you had to watch everyone else the rest of the day?

We need to get a few of us to plan a trip to Tulsa and run around the Hallet track. The SCCA group should have something going in Sept or Oct.

no, my car failed tech inspection (small power steering fluid leak) & steve graciously offered to have me as a passenger.

and it would have been only $150 for SVTtexas members :thumbsup:

i'm for any track ... TWS next month (8/23-24) & i'll need more after that! :beer:


i didn't have to pay a dime, had my car inspected by professionals, got to ride along w/ steve, video tape the 2nd session, & leave early before one of the cobras caught on fire :burn:

btw, my vid has been downloaded over 100 times so far!

I forgot that you had mentioned your car failed tech inspection.

I downloaded your video, all 127 megs worth. Are there any digital pics that will be posted? We need to make a setup like they had installed on that Corvette in the Triple XXX movie with Vin Diesel. Give multiple angle video shots for the next event.

I will be attending the next event they hold. Just need to redo the brake pads soon. Only got about 4000 miles out of the front Hawk Pro Plus street pads. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe the multilple high speed stops.

Anyone interested in making the trip up to Iowa? Only an 11 hour drive, if you go the speed limit.
