I'm abusing the turbos as much as I can to help them
fail ASAP

Promised I wouldn't mod the horsepower before the
Daytona event so to keep it safer.. But after this event
I wonder why I need more power? Car was awesome.
Slippery slope and all that

That looks like an absolute blast. How did the banked turns feel...any different? Glad you had a great time!

Banks were amazing!! Massive g force and WOT!!! Once in a lifetime experience!! If it ever happens again hope more on this board make it.
there were people there from all over the country!!
Banks take more ***** than skill, flat turns the opposite!!

Unlike anything else - no other track has this feeling.
You have to let the car "float" over the bumps and the
"push" off the banking - just really hard to describe -
you just have to "be there". I really doesn't take talent
or skill like hitting an apex, it does take some "finesse"
to coax the car where you want it to go...

Would really recommend everyone sign up next year, it
was just awesome!

Deetz, that is some nice assed driving, your turbo sticks like glue! Gotta love that x73 at the track!
That does it, I'm hittin' daytona next yr!
Every once and awhile, they have the layout at pocono using two corners of the tri-oval, I did it in the c4s w/aerokit and x73, man did it stick, almost sucked down to the pavement when you're in the base of the bowl, awsome!

Tom,

Let us know (far in advance), the next time they offer this. After seeing my
buddy, Steve's videos from Rennsport at 180 or so (and you at 170), it looks
like must do at some point!

Will do, it would be a must. The amazing thing about this event is IT DIDNT EVEN SELL OUT!!!!! I know people that signed up several days before the event!!
I doubt that will ever happen again!!

looks like fun! hope to see some track time at sebring some day. looks much smoother than I thought it would be. (watched the entire vid, for some reason I initially thought the vid was from sebring. no wonder the track looked smoother.)

The intake was better than I thought. first of all the car ran for 500 very hard track miles and no problem so that in itself says something. engine bay sounds better, car ran great, that's about all I can say!! other than really dressed up the engine bay!! bottom line performs as advertised.
