Default Red Mist... It Works.

Havent made this public for 8 mo. because it was done in anger but I figured what the heck... yall might get a kick out of it. Texas World Speedway

Cliffs: GT2 porch boy had been pissin me off for awhile and I finaly had had enough. Classic porcupine deal. Brake ckin, dive bombing me etc.. in TT. Could not pull him in straights and I dont dive bomb. so had to do the slingshot down on the miata line. Did a 1:47.7 ccw.
.2 from track record for TTU set with a full on DRM C6.
I run a junkyard primer gray C5. Watch past the closing credits.

You looked perfectly in control all the time and made a calculated pass. That works in my book! Also anyway you get by a porker is a good way.

I do my best driving chasing a fast rabbit cussing at him the whole way I'm surprised your hood was bowing up like that when you've got it vented like that. Also, with some much development to your car why the heck do you still have the giant stock steering wheel?

Some time in the late spring most likely. I'd love to be able to make the TWS event in April, but I don't know if it's feasible.

Opposite of red haze story ...
I'm running in P1 at Mid Ohio last July with three laps to go with P2 slowly closing on my bumper. I have myself convinced that my tires are going away and start bitching on the radio to my crew chief (aka wife) who absolutely rips into me telling me to shut up and drive the #%$!car!

After we looked at the data, those the three laps were faster than all thirteen before! I guess sometimes we need outside encouragement as well (as an occasional dose of the red haze).

Nice video. It looks like you're wearing shorts. They allow you to run like that?
