Long video not much excitment there is a coupe of times where I get alittle sideways through turns 4-5a. and also me having to refuel during the middle of it. I know Im a rookie but man it was fun. I did do some passing but did'nt have a video of it. One was a 72 porche 911 with slicks and I believe a cage a couple of new boss mustangs, and a 96ish mustang cobra.
I was doing 135-138 in the back 125ish in the front stretch. It was hot that day around 85 degrees.
street nitto 555s stock brakes(suck) burnt a set of pads up in 2 hours

Looks like fun. I bought my L to tow my Cobra to open track events but I may have to try it out.

I wouldn't mind trying that in my L. You should get some brakes from TCE. They're a huge upgrade over the stock lumps.
