Yeah, the internal workings that allow two forward gears to make a reverse is still a bit beyond me. Anyway, the delete mod was a joke. I think (hope?) something is wrong with the linkage, and not the trans itself, preventing me from getting it in back-up gear. I'm away from the car until Fri, so I guess we'll wait and see..

That front bumper view is still sick. Makes it seem like you're in an F1 car! Shawano looks awesome too. Were you in 3rd on the longer straight? Any more lapping days coming up there?

^ I agree the front lower lip captured the best sound and view. I bet a hood mount would be almost as good without giving up the elevation changes.

Will you be attending BHFs?

Alex, nice vids.

I had the same thing when I went to the Dragon. My widescreen camera just didn't do the speed I was going and the corners justice. The vids made it look like a Sundary ride in the woods

Maybe we need one of those speed overlays down in the bottom corner like they do with Nascar, etc.

I didn't have a chance.. Reports from the radio say I was around 3-4 seconds a lap slower than you.
