Ted, you need to buy a wide angle lens so we can see your hands more!
Was your last lap the best of the group? (it looked pretty good to me).
I enjoy watching all the videos, keep them coming!

some in-car video from saturday group 1 session 1, yes i get black flagged
Amazing... some of us just don't understand AWD and turbo all in a full sized car. It's like you hit the warp speed button in the straight aways and bam! the chase came to an end. Thanks for sharing!
(ok time for an engine swap, turbo and a conversation to AWD for the little civic)

AWD, 500 hp and you drove the snot out of that thing! 1:16.995 good for 3d fastest time of the day!

You'll love the V710's! Does your car really make 500hp?

I think slicks and a "PB" class designation would be just the ticket.

its in the ballpark of 450-500 at the crank, WHP should be around 400-420ish

Too bad for the outer CV but nice "exit".
I noticed your hands are all over the place. Wonder if maintaining them steady at 9 and 3 or 10 and 2 position will help you focus on driving. Also pulling down on the steering as opposed to pushing up will help you steer.
My classroom students could have told you that
And thanks for staying ahead of the Miatas is SPC
Yeah my hands were a little busy; a combination of things. Partially, especially exiting 12, I was encountering a severe pull to the right due to the failing CV. It was difficult keeping the car out of the wall on the right side. Also, the car has a bit of play in the steering, and the steering is quite slow. Not quite as apparent in the video as it is while driving, is that I'm making quite a few minor adjustments due to the car sliding around a bit. But, I appreciate the feedback nonetheless. If you have some time next season, maybe I can take you out with me for some fine tuning?

Thanks! I prefer the low line in pretty much every car I drive as I can brake a bit later, plus the transition is a little smoother I think.

this weekend i figured out why the car didnt handle so well....
1 very well corded front tire the other front was right at that point where you can see the cord thru the rubber.
