    Very nice.
    But let's see you put Victoria Secret models in the back seat of that.

    Who's got the Mondi pic to remind Buzz?

    Ha ha, nice.
    Looks like something we did at Poconos a while back -- but more professional (and better cars) (your pic, that is).
    Looks like fun!

    Hope you're well my friend.

    This took place at the Andretti-Gordon Racing School at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. A bunch of us rented the technical road track for 2 days (Sat and Sun) and did several sessions, 6 cars at a time, from 8AM to 4PM with a lunch break. It is a 2.4 mile course with 15 turns and 26 shifts. Max speed at the end of the front straight is only about 110 mph but the course isn't about pure speed; most of it is under 60. Chicanes, sweepers, complex multi-apex turns, etc. I think I saw Jesus driving over the curb of the chicane at 80mph.

    The cars are Formula 2000 spec cars. 2 liter, 160hp, 210ft-lbs, 1100 lbs w/o driver. 0-60 in 4.5, 0-100 in 6.5. 4sp manual X pattern shift, no clutch on upshift, no syncros. Data acquisition on board for review after the session. They run 10x13 slicks on very special occasions but the grip allows for much higher lateral Gs and it beats up the suspension so it was regular tires this time.

    Hey at least you were still in a open car , just like the mondial T cab but did't have to deal with the conv. top up/down!

    also I wonder how that would look with 360 wheels...would they fit?
