Did he give up? LOL. Was he just a bad driver or what extra do you have done to your car? Nice vid man.

So you were following at a distance the black dot most of the time out of the picture, huh? Looks like a nice day, close your damn windows, it will make a huge difference in the way the car handles. What kind of times did you run on your laps??

Looks like you had a great time.

No, he didn't give up. He and I passed each other a few more times before the session ended. I'm sure I had better tires then he did. He had the speed in the straights, but I was able to reel him in through the turns. My car is only 3000 lbs and this track was better suited for a lighter car. It was a lot fun going at it with a GTR.

Yeah, it was a good day at the track for sure. Can't roll down windows at a road course. It's a safety thing. I managed a 2:06.17 that day.

Nice video, looks like a fun day.

I saw your post on TrackHq that you weren't as impressed with Chuckwalla as others I have talked to...does it just lack the high speed fun?

Haven't been there yet but want to get there in the next couple months.

Yeah, the track was nice, and smooth and new. But, I think Buttonwillow is better, Spring Mt is better, and Big Willow is Better. Now if this track where to replace something like streets of willow, then it would be the greatest thing ever. I wish it was 100 miles closer to LA, and it was a bit cheaper to run there.

It wasn't bad at all. I was just expecting something more. To much hype I guess. I'll go back there, it's still a new track experience, and that ain't ever bad!
