    Looks like you could use one step higher 5th gear? Good racing, fun to watch.

    I would not want to go any faster in this 43 year old car I was hitting 142mph at times, and it was pushing mid corner on the banking when I was in his draft. I could think of more fun things to be doing, especially after someone hit the wall in Friday practice.

    Geary S. was driving it (if you want to say that) It was more like blocking the whole time/ or he does not know the real "Line" .
    Thanks,

    You need to get back out there! Your next project should be a ST racer like mine. :P

    Well, he is already in the process of completing STR #2 so he might just take you up on that.

    Chad,

    Great drive. You just need a larger wing on your car to get through turn 2 quicker and Geary could not get around you. I have raced him numerous times and it is frustrating to get stuck behind him, as he is a willd man. Just get on his tail and push him...he will always drive too aggressively and spin. By the way, I am the guy in the silver Lotus in the beginning of your video. It is a 2001 Lotus Cup Car powered by a normally aspirated 1800 cc Rover motor.

    Great video and excellent clean driving.

    Thanks Brent- Someone told me your car was newer- But I don't know Lotus cars that well. BTW what happened to the Red Lotus?

    Yeah, Geary has some interesting lines. I also did not want any dents in my car, He really needs to calm down and not shoot back on the track like he did. If I was any closer, he would of taken me out coming back on like that. That was a ROOKIE move. Someone told me he has a 2.8L in that 914-6. What the heck is he doing in 2.5L and under class?
