I've ridden with Tom at Sebring. It was definitely memorable as well as terrifying He is going wayyyyy faster than the video makes it look!

Tom,
That was superb. Thank you!
BTW, what kind of mirror are you using. ...clips over the OEM? TIA. Jeff

Very Impressive driving Tom.... very smooth! When I track my car I can hear some tire noise (squealing) when tracking out. I didn't hear that on the video... Is it your tires, suspension setup, driving style, or audio quality of the recording?

Rep Power: 209 R compound tires dont squeal till they let loose and off you go! that's why people say better for beginners to stick with street tires, they will squeal and communitcate with you well before they let loose. its when you here them "howl' that is bad.
Matt, cant wait!! You are MY guru, should be up your way again after the first of the year.

I was at that event in your run group. I was in a silver Z06 and passed you a couple of times, throughout the day. I dont have a camera in my car and was hoping you could post some of that video, so I can see what it looks like when I go by some slower cars. It wasn't one of the race prepped vettes you were referring to, but a stock car on Hoosiers ..... Thanks!
