I looked up some more lap times for the Glen and your 2:15’s are now even more impressive to me. nice tune lol

Seriously though…great driving as always. I’ll make sure I watch this video a bunch of times before heading the Glen. Watching you shift into 5th gear at redline before entering turn 2 really put your speed into perspective because I know how long those gears are. :tup:
I wonder what you could do with the front aero back on, but more aero all around plus more power will be fun next year.

Thanks guys :tup:

And thanks for the fantastic tune Mike, I have no doubt it contributed to the flawless execution of the car this season! Can’t wait to see what we can do with the V8.

183

yeah me you and mcginnis can battle it out with the V8’s in May lol. you’ll have us beat on the aero mods though

184

Looks awesome :tup:

185

Nice video Mike! That’s the only bit of driving I actually saw of you or Dave from the event, other than the few seconds down the front straight. Sad I missed day 2, where it appears you got a lot more run time than day 1.

I like curbs.

great driving, you carry the speed with such confidence. When I go back and compare to some of my better videos in the evo I can see how much I’m chickening out because I don’t trust myself. I can’t wait for next year in the E30

Crash video on it’s way to vimeo. Hopefully I’ll have photos and stuff to add to my writeup this afternoon.

I took a few random photos, but I’m sure Ian has better. Plus, you are too fast for my slow iPhone camera :frowning:

This was my fave, digging the dirt out of the exhaust… still makes me chuckle.

The thumbnail does a good job of telling the story, all I could see was sky, hah! I didn’t get the clutch back in quick enough and get back in the power so the car straightened out and I used the available… ahem runoff.

199

well, that probably could have gone a lot worse with a cement wall

the car is just undressing itself to help you insert the new motor.
