Chasing Tucker :rofl3:

[Carnut]

Very cool.

[CH53Driver]

If your car was blue, you'd have been in the lead. Just sayin'. :look:

Looks like Tucker was just cruising ...also shooting apexes much later than you (he should be able to cut them earlier) but at 2:08 when he came out of the turn that was the first time he actually got on it ...and he was gone! Was this on a Sunday ...maybe he was just out for a Sunday drive :haha: ....you were shooting the turns soooo much better than he was! :wtg:

[Tommy Gun]

Video doesn't show speed well at all.

It was our first day.

In cars new to us.

He is a little faster than me in comparable cars, so I don't expect to stay up w him.

We were both in Advanced group though we were both in unfamiliar cars, we were just trying not to get run over. :rofl3:


And I didn't see any of you out there doing any better. :rolleyes:

:lol:

I thought you were doing great! Tucker seemed to be setting-up late for a GT350 ...all the pros who have driven stock ones (typically Rs but not that much diff) seem to remark how early you can set-up/shoot apexes with the GT350 using power early in the turn to make it set it's weight and launch out. Hard to tell in vids but seemed Tucker was on the late half of the apexes -- you were hitting them nice. Easy for me to say tho :rofl3:

[Tommy Gun]

I'm sure he was getting use to it too.

He drifted a couple corners that I saw 3-4 times, and went all 4 off after trying to save one drift.

I :giggle: as I passed by.

Most areas at VIR have long wide run off areas with nothing to hit.

[Gr8snkbite]

Was at Jays shop today picking up the paint eng cover he did. He said the stock tires worked great at the track. Suspension was real good in the turns. Been testing his longer version oil separators on the Eco.....:grin: he did an awesome job on the cover too....:wtg:

Cell phone vids are easy to upload, but look crappy.

Loading another to Youtube, but that takes an hour or two to process....

[Tommy Gun]

First run of the morning. "Most" taking it a little easy. LOL

[Carnut]

Looks like a lot of fun.

I can guaranty I would be the guy getting kicked off the track for going too slow.

[Joe G]

Man that looks fun!

[68fastback]

:wtg: :chirp: sure does!

[Grabber]

Cool videos. I saw that the GM product - Chevrolet did a little ass whopping on you. :hurryup1:

I saw my first 2015/16 GT350 in the wild yesterday. He went past me going the opposite direction. It was the avalanche gray color scheme with blue stripes. Looked good.

Um, I had about 5 seconds to look at the car since we passed each other on a busy road.
