    Somebody should put this as a link on the Pelican "sawing at the wheel" thread.

    Thanks for posting that video. I found myself watching it, grinning and leaning left and right in my chair. Fun ride.

    PL is one of my favorite drivers, still thought his line and throttle control through 9 would have been smoother?
    He certainly was aggresive!
    I'd like to see in car video same day of Chad driving, was PL faster?

    It was a good video but, honestly, I've seen some of the guys on this board go quicker and smoother in early cars.

    Sorry, but I wasn't impressed.

    On the other hand, Long in a late-model car is a sight to behold.

    Considering he probably has no experience driving a racecar with so little grip and considering that those must have been his first laps in that car (he had to ask how to turn on the fuel pump), he drove the hell out of it. Very impressive.

    Not bad for being in the car for the first time. While smoother is usually faster, I didn't see him being pased by anyone. We have recently installed camera's on several 935's, it's pretty interesting to see the various driving styles. You would be surprised...
