Why? because race car part II

Went back to the track today at fontana california aka the roval with speed ventures heres some of the pics of my car and the other cars there that cts v is soooo dope its a 427 block with tvs making over 800whp and btw i asked him if he knows john powell and john hendricy? lol and he said yes to both and he loved my car and all the parts john made for it too!

haha just experience on the same track but mostly just going faster and braking later my buddy rode with me and gave me some pointers and i did some runs with competition mode and some runs with no esc and traction control and the 2:11 was with no esc or tc the bank wasnt as bad this time

kinda figured out on the bank it was the wind making my rear end light or wanna move but still think i need some aero or downforce

Doh. Hard to see what's going on since the camera is way too far back. What kind of camcorder are you using? I probably should have mentioned this to the folks on this forum, but I use an AMT camera mount, and it works great on the stock seats.

AMT Engineering - Stealth Car Headrest Camera Mount - Motorsport Products for the Active User

Also, I recently picked up a little wind noise cutter for my camcorder. It's really just a patch of synthetic fuzz. Looks like there's a little toupee on my camcorder. Hoping to cut windnoise down quite a bit.
