Sorry it took so long Robi. I like computers about as much as cell phones.
Cheers,

Nice!

How much HP is your Evo putting out? Seems like you lose to them in the straight but catch up in the turns.

Holy crap!! The Caddy was passed first! Did the Evo get bumped in the turn right after the pass? Then the Mustang looses it in the sand....then another car in the sand...then the SRT-4 lost a wheel or had a blowout!!?? Damn....thats some serious looking fun!!

Great vid!

AMS had just tuned my car. I think that damned Neon was running nitrous. He pulled me harder than a T1 vette on the straights.

Wow, great vid man!


How much power is your Evo putting down? Seemed underpowered compared to the rest? Great race man!

Keep in mind, Everything around me is supposed to be faster. In the end, I won T2 and would have been third in A-sedan. Nice 5th gear grind, don't you think? Tranny's coming out next week.

Cheers,
Is this transmission number 5 now? These guys should stress test their stuff on your car.

Jeez Bill, awesome race, congrats on your success, that was one hell of a race. Go easy on me at Watkins

If you pay attention to Lap 12 in the second clip, you can see the Cadillac coming in my rear-view mirror. We were door to door going into turn 1 with the Caddy trying to suck me in too deep. I was'nt buying.

wow the srt-4 was leaving you in the straights until some tire failure of the srt-4. your car seems underpowered compared to the rest of the field.

HOT!....I LOVE the PERFECT move on the Caddy...(I saw it from trackside and it was better in the video!!!)..as to power....the mitsu is pedaling a legal motor as fast as it can go....remember we FINISH races @ or above 3480. The thing that makes this car and WTZ so strong when we go racing is Bill and I have got this car turning like it's in a class of its own...the good thing is we seem to give up less than our competitors....as the race goes on...making it easy to pass latter and hold on if somene trys a late charge (like the Lotus @ sebring)
