Great vid. Looks like that silver Vette was able to pull away from you but got scared and flagged you past? And @ the Porche spinning out.

with the vette was an open fight.. I pwnd him while he was still warming up his hoosiers... than he did catch me back on the last lap and we ended up in a "parade" lap side by side because he probably overheated the hoosiers and I had my clutch fluid boiling...

12 weekends on the track and never an issue... this one after 20 minutes the clutch pedal started to don't come completely up... let it cool down and was ok again...
could be a crack in my hfc. at least sounds like it (now that I have the silencer again)

I'll change also the PS fluid, that for sure.

that porsche spin out because when you put together 19" wheels with almost no tire sidewall, a track curb and an average driver that is what happens.
simple like that.

that doesn't matter... the only fact that matters in that case is that with 19" wheels and probably a /35 or /30 sidewall he didn't even had the time to feel his car was going to spin.

19" are cool on the road.. but just for poser on a track. (even on sick car like ferrari and lamborghini.. the only reason to fit a 19" wheels is having 380mm brake rotors.)

Nice Video and pics. Great job. If you don't mind how much was the set of photos? I shot for some local HPDE's and want to make sure I am not out of line pricing wise.
