AWESOME!
I read the Excellence article, but the video is something else. He is dancing that car around the track and just eating people up. You can see his hands moving around so quickly just catching the car before it breaks loose. Fantastic!
I watched it three times!
Wow!
(How can I save that footage?)

Looks like its time for another Patrick Long advanced DE...
As great a driver as he is, believe it or not he is that good at communicating to others on how to improve.
Probably the funnest thing to watch was him in Sam's early Turbo RSR drifting it through the corners between snap on and off boost with Sam in the passenger seat wide eyed in disbelief.
If there is interest I will set up another one with him. He is also going to do some private work with some guys at MSR later this year. Ideally we can put a couple of days together so we can maximize his time. That is always the hardest thing, is to carve time out of his very busy pro chedule and factory test commitments.

I second the motion!! He is indeed the entire package. I'm starting my build tomorrow, so I'll have a new (and improved) engine back in the car soon.
