R1 Seven Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Just got back from another track weekend. This time it was the South Course at VIR. The video was taken by a friend of mine from trackside to give a different perspective. My in-car setup screwed up, so I got nothing there...

Al N. Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I cried when the Porsche passed you. Was it a GT3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1 Seven Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yes, it was a GT3. We played for a few laps (that you can't see in the video). Once when I was behind him we had a straight up drag race down the main straight...I was able to keep up almost until I ran out of gear. He was fast enough to pull away just a little bit each lap. Once I get the car sorted a little better and get some tires with more grip under it, it should be a better fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 In the part that we could see, he only nipped you at the end of the straight, so I figured you ran out of gear. Good stuff. See you in just a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHKflyer52 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Jef, I love the sound of your car. Made my day just watching the video and listing to it. Who was the lucky passanger.... VERY COOL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1 Seven Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Thanks for the comments. I really am having a great time with the car right now. It is the happiest any "thing" has made me for a long time. The lucky passenger was one of my fellow instructors, Mark. He had been bugging me for a ride and I finally gave in. I genreally like to get folks (especially the students) out for some sessions in my car. But since the locost is brand new, I wanted to get some time on it and prove that is was safe and reliable before strapping someone into the passenger seat. After a few weekends, I guess I have arrived at that point now. Only bad thing is, I am afraid that I will have to turn some folks away...I can't take that weight penalty for every session.
