Videos from the Grand-Am setup at Homestead with NASA. I actually like the double infield better.

I could not go flat through the banking, but some cars with wings or less horsepower did it. I think a 3.8RS cannot go flat either.

Its a matter of the size of your gonads. The guy in the garage next to be had a pro drive his car that day and they were doing 135 through the banking. In a Boxster with no aero. I was managing a mere 122. It was me not the car that kept me from going quicker.

Here's a video from that same weekend. The first lap is behind the pace car. I know that it's boring but I was using the start to synchronize the cameras.

A TT vette snuck into my session later and he was flat through there. I'll see if I can find that video and post it. I can hang with him everywhere except the banking.
