Hennessey is still out there doing business?

I sure hope that this is just a short term consulting gig for Heinricy. Wouldn't want to see him tainted in any way by the slime ball.

Very interesting to watch his hands in that video. Spends a lot of time with one hand on the shifter. Looks like he is out for a Sunday drive, LOL.

Stop looking at his hands and look at his lines.

Heinricy drives impeccable lines with surgical precision lap after lap. Note he has both hands on the wheel for the fast corners.

Besides, he can outdrive most anybody with just one hand on the wheel... and he has 8 SCCA National Championships to prove it!!

I agree, he can out drive just about anybody one handed. That was exactly my point - he is so good and so precise he can do one handed what most of us can't. Thanks for making it more clear.
