AutoX Videos of my car finally
Here's the link.

You can finally see how smooth and balanced this car stays under hard cornering and bumps. The front to rear never bobbles up and down and it still gets a mild bit of lean into the corners so the suspension geometry can work and do its job promoting the roll understeer with my lowered roll centers working on the 800lb springrates. This car is still plenty streetable and very smooth & comfortable for daily driving yet it will outhandle a stock C5 Vette

Dean, dont you know your suppose to go faster on your 3rd lap then your 2nd lap
That is a MUCH more open course then ours, that parking lot is like 10x bigger then ours. You could get alot more speed up then ours.
What the world is them little z thingies? Thats a new one on me.

You heard I never walked the track first in the story? I went out on course completely blind and had to gues where I was going.
First lap I about DNF'ed (Did not finish- for those of you that don't know what DNF is. If you miss a cone completely by going outsideof it, you DNF. You have to at the very least hit the cone if yo are about to go around the outside) 66.134 lap
Second run I went a little more conservative trying to make sure I didn't make the same mistake and tried to also learn the rest of the course. ran a cautious 63.324 lap.
Last lap "I thought I had it down" and cranked it back up and damn neear missed the last gate on the front side of the course just before the looparound. I made many littler mistakes on every run but those were my drastic mistakes. ran a 64.2xx on that run.
Had I walked the course an was able to memorise where I need to be sitting coming out of each corner so I am setup for the next few I gaurantee I would have run a 61.8xx. The last lap when the car is coming toward you just at the end Mike makes a comment that I am choppy (yes because I am still guessing aon which way to go next (watch his in car camera and you'll see why- try and guess which way you would turn if you were driving the course fast without knowing it) Just as he says that you'll see me 4 wheel drift through the last gate. I had to pinch and drift that corner instead of being smooth and flowing because I was off line fron 2 gates back. The pinch is where the x is and my mistake stated back where I took the blue line rather than the yellow. Here alone I lost one full second on each run because I kept making the same error- its what I had memorised in every run and continued to do wrong. You NEED to walk the course first.
My bad mistake on the last run was the red arrows. I had to slow and turn completely back to get that gate. I lost a good 1 to 1 1/2 seconds here.
