for YOUR entertainment!!

well i was bored so i thought i would put my in-car video of me driving my 04 S on the north circuit of the autobahn country club in joliet on youtube. a couple of the cars i pass include a supercharged mustang, ford lightning, older rx-7, and the new shelby gt500(toward the end, its white with blue stripes).

ENJOY! (and comment on the video!!!)

great vid...looks like you were really moving around that track. R compound, race pads?
no LSD i assume but didn't seem to be an issue. looks like you're running around a 1:19 lap time.

I had a good time with SpeedyCoop at an AutoX last year. I'm sure he was running R compounds in video, he was at autox. That MINI has more mods then any other MINI in the area. Great MINI, even better driver.

Hi Speedycoop....yeah, the opening weekend at Gingerman usually does not have a lot of cars.
http://www.gingermanraceway.com/
A few race cars usually show up to test for the upcoming race season. Price is $150 for either Saturday or Sunday. The other event is with the F-Bodies group.
http://roadamerica.fbody.us/
It's very fun at $220 per day on either Saturday or Sunday or $385 for both days. Might seem pricey but it's Road America so it's all good. Dan00Hawk probably has more info on this club.
See if you can make the Saturdays. That way, you'll have Sunday to recover and relax.
