Only was able to watch a few minutes, but it looked good. Are you giving up a little time in the braking zones, though? Seems like you were coasting coming into the corners, rather than flat out 'til the braking point.

LOVE that shifter setup!

Ooo we have another American iron car on here! I think we're going to st2 next year. Have you looked at the 2012 rules for the s197? You guys won't have and problems with the rules but we are going to be 20 hp under what we were this year just to run abs

ReverendDexter,

Some of the guys call me a "momentum driver". My car is light and a bit low on power so most of the time I early brake and try to keep exit speed up, although I can late brake if I have to (it shows later in the video

)

94racing,

Yeah I saw the changes that Todd made to the 2012 rules. I kinda like it, but I know I know a lot of people aren't going to be happy about it. My car still has the stock ABS so I get the new 9.25/1 and 8.75/1 power to weight ratio. I have a friend here in AI with a 2005 who installed the FR500 module to test and it made a big difference for him, but as far as that debate...I'm not touching that one here.
