He is really about 1/2 to 3/4 a second faster than me, but this is fun to play..

That looks like a blast.
Who did you have to kill to get time on the track?
It would never have even occurred to me to ask about using a go cart track.

That's awesome, thanks for letting us live vicariously - especially in the ice covered north!

Kenw, they run time attack every Tuesday night. They also run a drift session Thursdays.
I guess they just figured out there were enough people interested that would be willing to pay to play..
They usually will not allow a nose to tail run like that, but some of the 'advanced' guys get the nod. Alex is about the only one I would want back there, he really is amazing, didn't even hiccup when I missed the 1-2 shift out of the hairpin/ess.

He might be 1/2 second faster, but it looks like you out drove him to me.

Mike, your car is awesome. I cannot wait to see it in person. Side note, what camera are you using? I want to get a camera soon as well.

Thanks everyone! This was a ton of fun..
Roadstermike, the top video was shot from a Hero3+ Black attached to the trunk with the suction mount..
This one was shot with my phone while I was driving..lol

There is another run, shot by a camera on Alex's M2k but unfortunately he put it on Facebook, and I don't know how to get it out cleanly to share.. Its obvious from the video that the F20 is solid mounted in his car.. the second he hits the throttle the blurs start..
you are an inspiration.
