it was pretty funny when the video starts to "strobe light" or whatever through all of the different cars that you lapped and passed.

Turbo Honda's CAN'T road race... It's physically impossible... That's why you were passing everyone out there...

Looks familiar!! 
Looks like you had a blast. Yeah, a Turbo Honda is faster than a LOT of other cars on a road course.
It's interesting to see the closing speeds between you and the other cars when you get on it. Sometimes they lift, sometimes they don't, no matter.
Also, I bet you didn't get as many points during the first part of the school, as towards the end.
"Damn, here comes that white Honda again..." -- random driver looking in rear-view mirror..
p.s. Don't put on your e-brake when brakes are hot. Not that the rears really get hot, but it's a good habit to avoid.

Questions:
1. What raditator are you running? full core or half core? what size fan are you running on your radiator?
2. How much boost were you running?
My problems
My coolant was boiling during my 3000 mile hike to expo. Also i had slave cylinder problems.
My soluations
Jet hotted manifold, turbo houses, heat wrapped downpipe. Tilton clutch bearings, 14" mr gasket fan (1800cfm). Built motor.
Think i wont have anymore problems??

That was a great video, the 666 ontheside of the car had me laughing through most of the video. the instuctor giving you props was so money.
