Default MoodDude at speed and at Roebling Road

Enjoy a few hot laps of MoodDude's 350ZTT at Roebling this past weekend with the Triangle Z Club.

It says there is something wrong with the server for the link . Help. (Edit) - I figured it out - Thanks Mike.

My top speed before the braking zone of turn 1 was 146, I could have been going faster, but still not comfortable at those kind of speeds. So I was lifting early.

I watch the whole video last night on the big screen and noticed several cars you had passed twice. So I tried to capture two clean laps of no traffic.
Send me a pm with you addy so I cam mail you the tape.

Man - you are tough, but last time I was at Roebling I only hit 140 mph so I am getting faster and more comfortable at speed. Of coarse mpowers was able to hit over 150mph when he had a 350Z (he now owns a S2000 ) so hopefully one day I will be able to be as good as him.

Oh and that picture, look how much my car is rolled over, and I have the Hotchkis sways set at middle/middle with Tein Flex coilovers. That should give a feel for how many g's I was hitting too.

Nice vid, it would be nice to have you mount the chase cam on the s2000 same location and let us see and hear the difference between the Z and the Honda, especially in the twisties.
