Here are some clips from my last trackday with the pca at vir. My run group had some very fast and expensive cars, so I got passed alot. Time for a turbo and some hoosiers I guess.

Looks like you were having a blast. And don't worry about getting passed - it's nothing that a lot of time (both track and tuning) and $$$ won't fix

Btw, you should check out the site vimeo.com - you can host your videos there for free, just like youtube, but the quality is much, much better. I used to post on google because they had no limit in length, but since a buddy turned me onto vimeo I'll be posting there from now on. Here http://www.vimeo.com/2616409 is a video I shot at VIR in '06, just to give you an idea what I mean.

Here http://boostrot.net/gallery/v/....html is a pic with the latest colors. There are a few others in that gallery also.

The car is prepared to SCCA's Improved Touring A class specs, which includes: *interior gutted, six point cage, race seat & six point harness*Ground Control suspension w/Koni sport shocks/struts, ERS springs (450/325), GC front camber plates, poly bushings, solid subframe bushings*Torsen-type LSD with 4.36 gears*engine bored .020 over, balanced/blueprinted/decked, Wolf custom ECU, modified S&S header into custom 3" exhaust*ACT HD clutch w/4-puck disk*many more little things, like stainless braided brake lines, ARP wheel studs, Koyo rad w/Flexalite fan, and so on...

The video was shot with a Sony handicam mounted to an I/O Port camera mount, attached to the cross bar on the main hoop.
