You may not want to use that video as an example. I forget exactly what was out there, but we posted a couple of Willow videos in my Radical. These were in the games prior to OTC so one video was of a couple of easy warm up laps (where I likely did not use all the track at T5). Another had been, uh, doctored. I think it was sped up a few percent. Just enough to make it appear to be about 5 seconds faster than the car could do.

It's not my fault. DJ made me do it.

Chachi, Chachi, Chachi! What are we gonna do with you guys.

(This was the video you had on EJs web site right after you got the Radical.)
Alrighty then. I'm still looking for a nice unmolested video of big Willow. (Jacks video flakes out every time he goes into the sun.)

What do you think of the video of Doug Hayashi in his S2000 from the site you referred me to last week?
It looks pretty clean and smooth to me.

I don't especailly like that one for a few reasons. Way late on the T3 apex so he doesn't use all the track. Doesn't come back across for T4. Then at T5 entry, I feel he turned too early which puts too much cornering load in the chassis when you are trying to brake. Rest ot T5 wasn't bad but he also did not use all the track. I looked back at my Rad video and T5 looked OK except I left a few feet of track at exit. That was clearly laps that were less than 10/10ths.
