GEEZZZZZ That viper passed you like you were standing still. Did you just let him pass?
Your car sounds sweet though...I have to give you that. Also, it looked like you were not tring to break any lap records.
Thanks for the vid.

I'm in the Viper that's passing. I stayed behind him a few laps filming him then decided to go ahead and pass.

Much better line around #2 Carl, you can track out more and carry more speed, #5 is much better also. Your buddy needs some instruction, remind me next time we're there

ron...you should watch the film I shot of him while following.
He's gonnna come over and watch it on the big screen. I'll show him a few pointers.
He's still a little gun shy from an off he did on his first trip out last year.

I knew he wasn't pushing the car too hard. But, I have to admit, way back when my ACR was stock...I spun it....and it scared the shit out of me. I was a little more careful after that and took it to a race school. I still haven't got that nut behind the wheel tight enough.

Seat time, seat time, seat time that's it. The Viper is one of the fastest cars on a road course but also one of the hardest to master. You have to work up faster in small increments, I figure I have 2,000+ laps at WSIR, the last 1K laps I have never been passed by another car other then another Viper or race car. I have had epic battles with modified Z06s, but the Viper rocks.
