I played with Vipers... again

Went out for a short day at pahrump yesterday to have some fun with Vipers.

Here is the car day before, just got it prepped.





Here is a vid of the best hpde battle I have had in a while. It is a very BIG and long video, so please do not download unless you intend on watching the whole thing. Usually I edit these things down but I wanted to show this whole session cause it was so much fun.

RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS VIDEO HERE

I want to thank Team Buschur for all their help, with out them I could never hang with 700hp Vipers.. man, I cant wait to get a tune for the car.

I want to thank courtney and Viper Days for inviting me to come out there and instruct for them. They are a great bunch of people and I have always enjoyed the events they put on.

The most bizarre part is that when I drove my car home that day I went through a snow storm.. crazy.

Nice run! Looks like the only place he got away from you was on the straights.

Speaks pretty highly for your ride! Good job!

THAT was some fantastic driving. It was like watching a replay on Gran Turismo.

Awesome video! That looks like a great track. Close call when you and the Viper almost came together. Do Vipers take a different line than Evo's, or do they not know the term "apex"? Great driving on your part though nils. What brakes are you running?

officially it was not a race, but you'd have a hard time convincing us of that

Just some lapping fun at the track...

thx... that guy had way more car than I did, it was his bad line that kept me in the running. If he would have run a faster line I probably would not have kept up with him....

stock calipers, PF 2 piece rotors (front) and PF97 pads.
