I just came across this Speed Ventures video done at Auto Club Speedway. I thought it was interesting for a few reasons, chief of which being that he ran the entire session, hitting 149 mph every lap, without a hiccup. Also, the sound is amazing. On the downside he ran wide a number of times, especially on right handers. Lastly, the last time I ran a Speed Ventures event the tech inspection was done on the "honor system." I think a view of the in car video raises some doubts as to its effectiveness.

I thought the helmet flopping around in the back seat was notable.

Could of been his first time. The banking tends to freak people out a bit
and they slow down a lot......that banking can be easily taken at 125
by beginners in the GT350, and quite a bit more if experienced.

The great thing about these events is a person can go as fast as they're comfortable. I thought he coasted a lot too but he took his car home in one piece. I for one know that my car is way more capable than I am.
