    he is obviously not overly-skilled!
    half the time he was resting his right hand on the shifter... any racer knows 2 hands go on the wheel!

    Or maybe someone on this board who doesn't wish to be ID'd...

    That car has some nice power/weight ratio to it. I think the track needs to buy a bunch of big bath towels though.

    That track looks like a lot of fun, but those hills look pretty darn solid on the sides. Hate to hit one of them thar berms.

    Default Hey Robin...

    Erik's the driver and I think Frank's the engine builder.

    Yes, very observant on the hills. The complex where he spun - known as turn 5a - is pretty darn tight. While you can't see it in the vid, he nearly stuffed the car backwards into the bank. On DE days, 5a/5b is *the last place* you want to loose it. Bank on the left, gully on the right. Not quite Mid Ohio or VIR runouts. I was impressed he kept it on the pavement.

    put that guy in a 9 second quarter mile car...KaBoom!

    I couldnt watch the whole thing, he hit the sides/curbs/lawn at least 15 times from the little I saw.

    I do think I could do a better job as a complete ameteour in a strange car as his. I would in NO WAY allow that clip be published.

    Just my 2¢
