Default Atlanta Motorsports Park In-Car from weekend with Chin Motorsports
Had some fun at Atlanta Motorsports Park with Chin Motorsports this past weekend. Took the 4.0 out there to turn a few laps. The car got better and better as the weekend went along but overall I was fighting big understeer issues. Part of it I believe to be the soft front suspension and the other the stock Pilot Sport Cups. With better tires I feel I could find another second pretty easy. Enjoy the footage.

Seth's used to that...

He was probably planning on doing that. What a ham!

Then again, maybe not... Nice hands. And feet.

Thanks guys. The slide at 3:05 caught my attention a little bit too. Looking at the data at from the session it appears to have started at about 110.8 MPH. Glad it was only a small slide ;-)

111mph tail wagging is definitely more effective than coffee...

It is pretty nuts how much they do flex and move. Almost makes you want to get a set of RaceTech seats for the car.

Nice Seth, I was just wondering if you ever made it out. I'm happy to have you by a half a sec there while your still on sport cups and having passengers ride along
