Thanks Buddy, She has an EVIL built high comp motor on 112 race fuel, so at least half of what you hear is one of my cameras on the back of her race car...

She's a wheel to wheel racer, and would not let me get that close...

Nice video. Who were you running with? Looked a little crowded. Did you best your time?

Also, I can't recall. Are running a harness bar, or just stock performance seats and OEM 3 point?

Thank You, I believe it was Speed district, and it was not really crowded, we just went thru a small pack. My previous best was 1:46.1 did not best, had a few mid 146s... It was like 95 degrees out!

I do run the Comp performance stock seats, and oem belt, really need to get the harness bar and 5 point, It does help to connect you better with the car!!

Nice video, you seem to drive very well
In the steep wall I saw you did not always drive full.

I have never ridden in the oval
No idea, maybe I ask something stupid ...

Lovely greetings from Switzerland

Those were some fun laps. Seems like you two were the fastest on the track?

As others have said, I love the sound of your Vettes. Awesome.

Hello Colestin, Your question is fine, that wall in the oval can be very intimidating, those who are able to really push thru there are rewarded on their lap times. This is something Stephanie does VERY well, having her large rear wing, as well as some "big *****" does not hurt...

While I'd like a little faster lap time sometimes, I'm just not willing to push my cars too much out of my comfort zone, a win for me is having a fun track day, getting the car home in one piece, then a decent lap time...in that order.
I also enjoy shooting, editing and sharing the videos, so when I can put together a decent one, that's a win as well!!!

Thank you, this was the top run group, and I think she was the fastest of the day, she is a REAL competitor!!
