In car " Smurf Mobile " video

Yesterday was the most fun I've had at an auto-x in a long time. Thanks to a very challenging track and some hard yet clean competition :D .

Here's a cool video, a little long, but you should be able to fast forward through the waiting between runs.

If you notice on the second lap on the big down hill decreasing left hander it got the best of me as I tried to go a little faster on the entry to it.

Thanks for posting the video. Great driving. That car just sticks all the way around. I seemed to be sliding around a lot more than you were. Must be those street tires I'm using. :roll:

nice Eric, you make it look easy!
Sounds tight, at about 4:10 on the timer the very close ratio 2/3, 3/2 shifts. :twisted:

Yes indeed!, Its always fun when we get to hit third gear in the blue car, its like a freaking shifter kart! :)
The stock third at redline is good for about 115mph, this one will do about 90mph, while second is good for about 65.
