Chasing a corvette sunday, this guy woulda had 420 hp I think? I caught him and got the point by on the next lap I think his tires went greasy as I was only a tiny bit faster than he was

They rent them out like hotel rooms, everything sells out for big events like last weekend and when IMSA comes to the track

Wonder if there is somebody here that could take the old "Little Nash Rambler" song and change it to "Little Mini Cooper".

Beep, Beep

vid where I was running with the cayman, that damned miata at the end held me up so bad it took a long time to catch up to him again. HPDE 2 guys should know between 1 and 3 was a passing zone, he did not

Funny, I test drove a couple of MK7 GTI's and they both felt slower than my Mini, granted I'm a little tuned. Only advantage compared to my car was the availability of low end torque. That being said, the GTI takes well to tuning.
