The car is a 2002 RS, with 03 front body work. It is a standard RS engine but without the restrictors. Tires are dunlop 265/650 front and 315/690 rear. Moton shocks. Basically a slightly improved RS, nothing crazy but definately a quick car. Wonder what that bad boy could do in Leh's hands with a RSR sprint motor? Hmmmmmm

Equally compelling is that after that great re-start, he just walked away from the field winning by over 23 seconds!

Leh bring that car out West. We've got 4 or 5 strong RSR's or RS variants running that I'd love to watch run with you from my cup... Miller Motorsports last weekend of September...

Loved some of the 'outside' passes. Sometimes, just sometimes, you have to 'pull their pants down' when you make a pass. Nice work. I'm still laughing.

You can see Norm Johnson's 04 GT3RSR (un restricted) with the sequential box in turn 9. That is a very, very nice car.

Kingleh- Are you matching revs on each of your quick 6-5-4-3 downshifts? edit- Nevermind- watched it again. I second the call for a shot of your feet during the drive.

Very nice drive and you were very clear about your intentions to other drivers as you passed. Well done.

Now i would like to see video from other cars being passed by Leh... post em!

Leh ... have you thought about racing in something like Speed World Challenge? I feel your style of racing could possibly be better suited for that series.

I would like to see Leh in WC also, I like Grand Am but the sprint format in WC is more exciting IMO.

Exactly... thats what I was thinking too. Maybe build a new 997 T to WC spec and let Leh do his thing. Or use a SWC spec cup car, whatever he could have more of an advantage with.
