Looks like the driver of the red car kinda freaked out when he saw a truck catching up to him. WFT is that! Do you have a pic of the truck?

That looks like a nice track. Flows with good runoff.

Nice looking truck. Appears to handle really well. Can you compare it to a Cayenne?

I think it is ready for a set of Hoosiers.

Edit: Forgot to ask, what were your lap times?

Possibly comparable to the Cayenne turbo, with maybe the SRT8 not as quite as fast, but the Cayenne S is no match for it at all.....

Lap times were faster than the mustang and a couple other cars that is for sure.........

it is completely stock, including the all season tires.......

Looks like you were turning in a little prematurely for your apex.








...haha! Those new SRT8's do look sweet.

How did you like NJMP? I've heard great things; I'm hoping to get there this season.

Wait a second; we have tow vehicles and trailers in case we need to get the broken race car home.
What you gonna do if you break the tow vehicle?

Thanks for your concern guys, but if the truck comes with a "track mode" setting I doubt it would just break by doing a few laps on a track......

anyway, it survived, I made it home and I live to tow for another day......

Track mode setting? That's cool.
My F-250 has a 'what do you want to haul today?' setting. 800 ft lbs. of torque
Soon it will have a "Yes, I have a pick up truck, No, I won't move your furniture" bumper sticker.
First long haul will be to The Glen for Cups. Can't wait to give it a try.

You had a head of steam on him going into T1 the second time.. Wonder if he thought he was going to get run down!

Reminds me of the old song about the Cadillac and the Nash Rambler - Beep, Beep:

The run group was comprised of advanced drivers or instructors, I think they would be passed (no pun intended) the "scared phase".......
