FINALLY!! Sorry for the delay guys. The quality isn't great as I did this with my Canon S95 (still camera) and the zoom comes out like your average Sasquatch vids....
Be sure and turn the quality up to 720 on these; a bit better.


Marcus driving my car and making me look bad


Marcus driving Gina's Lotus (ignore the 1 cone that jumped out at him)


Joey with that wicked sounding C4 (LOTS of compliments on that motor/sound)
Way to represent brutha


Me in my 3rd or 4th run....ever (be gentle)




Had a great time doing this with you guys! Looking forward to more events and learning how to improve.
Marcus, thanks again for the ride along. It was great to track watch the line you chose.
Scott

That little go kart was pretty insane on the handling. Incredible hold for 225 18s.
It would be sick if she slapped on A6s or similar.

Thanks for the encouragement

Paul, it was really fun getting to meet you as well and crack jokes around the "beer circle" as well as dinner.
Nice when you find folks you click with and enjoy similar humor.

Yeah, it was an entirely different animal. I'm not used to wheeling a car that light to its limits. Even the stock seats were as light as my drag seat.

It also helps that the car isn't a HP monster and is mid engined.
