I have ridden with Dave, and that gauge is for boost. If you listen closely you can hear the Turbos.








j/k

Seriously though, feels like a Sunday drive in his car his inputs are so smooth. Has the lowest speed/scariness ratio I've ever felt. Zero nervousness from car or drover.

Hey, thanks, Dez!

John, the camera is the low end of the Aiptek HD line. It was like $90. It's so cheap, it's not even enabled for using remote control (I have to turn it on & off by hand).

Dave, is your full time career that of a driving coach and/or do you drive in a BMW series like Seth Thomas? Or do you have a totally unrelated day job and just happen to have a lot of talent as a weekend hobbyist driver? You seem to be fast and smooth enough to be tagging in with Long and Bergemeister. Are you in their league, or is that another level all together? Sorry to challenge your natural humility with these pointed questions. LOL

Dave, here are some crappy BlackBerry pictures I just took of the cage. What you can't see are the NASCAR bars on both sides.

I think he has to tackle me at High Plains Raceway, before he moves on to the Bergmeister and P. Long.

This new car is a turbo?

Oh, for the love of God....I had just put it on the cage, and it was attached firmly. It wouldn't move, so I left it where it was.

Maybe you use a lot more brakes and a lot harder than I do, Mark, but my passengers never even came within a foot of that thing.
