PLayed around with that Vimeo site and got two runs from the day uploaded. The one where I start behind the gto is the ugly one, the one behind the evo was one of the less eventful runs of the day.

Big Spin

its hard to tell in the video, but what kind of speeds are you hitting?

 

[mavisky]

Maybe 45-50 mph max on these tight courses. The car will run to about 65mph in 2nd gear before the shift light on the HKS turbo timer on my steering column lights up and it never lit up once this time around. These are the kinds of painfully tight courses I get stuck running in my region. That last run was something like 36 seconds if I remember right and was far from my best run. The bumps in the first big left hand turn actually broke my oil cooler off one of it's mounts.

That did look pritty bumpy. You should make it to the big DSM Auto-X shootout on June 22nd. It will be a bit faster than 55mph.
