Ya, I think I actually like CCW better. The turns entering and exiting the flag stand straight seem to work better in this direction. I hated the corner entering the flag straight going CW. The only thing I think is better about CW is going down the hill through the fast chicane on the back straight, but going up over it CCW is pretty fun too!

Overall I really like the track.

Having only driven it CW it looks like a blast CCW. Did the red Viper manage to stay on the track this time?....

Nice move by the Radical. Assume he was 2 cylinders down?

great vids - thanks for sharing!
Well done avoiding the Rad - looks like he was completely oblivious.

Nice driving.

It's amazing to see so much run-off on both sides of the track.

Viper has gotten a lot faster and better. He kept it on track.

I think it was the first time at the track for the driver with the Radical. He had absolutely no idea I was there and didn't even know he pushed me off after the race! From inside my car it looked like he blatently pulled off line and slowed down to let me by.....I thought I was being super conservative since I was about 10 seconds ahead of 2nd place. At least there was plenty of run off and no damage to anything.

Nice job in the video! That's better than a pass.

Interesting where you were faster or caught up to him. That turn looks a little off-camber going CCW starting right where he spun. His sequential (and gearing) certainly help and I'll bet he looked up into his mirror right before he spun....

It is very off camber and slippery. I never felt happy going through there. The 3.8s definitely pull hard! My 3.6 rsr motor probably has similar power but it's all on top above 7500. I was disappointed he lost it because it would have been really fun to chase him. I haven't had the car running well and on decent rubber against a 7 .2 cup yet....
