Ok, MIKEY fixed it... and Woodsie is right, that is the hair pin turn 7 at JEFFERSON CIRCUIT at SUMMIT POINT.... I have one with a BMW who passed me and then was driving in his rear view mirror worried when I was gonna inhale him, and then he goes POOOOOOOOOOOOF off into the dirt 
Thats a huge file.... meanwhile here is a view from one of my students cars of the NORTH course using NASCAR Turn 3 clockwise.. http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...oapril0612.flv

Here is a 10 sec clip of me going past START FINISH line.. 3rd to 4th shift is right before finish line- about 110mph.... this is the longest strait on POCONO and you enter turn ONE at about 145-150mph; lift and come down to apron, scrub speed off and exit about 115-120mph and then WIDE OPEN down the back strait.

RAPID built this last winter... installed in JUNE 07... ran 15 or so HPDE's-- maybe 1500 miles or so.... no issues at all! 
Put this in perspective.... The C6 Z06 is putting about 430-450RWHP down.. You can install this package for under $30K and have 30% more power. OR you can drop $100K and buy the new ZR1 and be EQUAL. 
Take it on the street (on SUNOCO 93) and if I behave-- I can still get 27mpg.... It is my most economical vehicle..
Tell RAPID you saw it here!
