Looks like a great track to race on.

What's your opinion of it?

I've only been there twice, and both times it was in an underpowered 240SX, and it was probably 3 years ago. At the time, I liked it, but since then I've done Mid Ohio, Road Atlanta, Road America, etc and it's not really in the same league with those places. Its still a lot of fun though

Its alot of fun, has alot of history, but is very slippery in the cold/wet and doesnt have much runoff in some areas.

Summit looks like a nice track, but I have always wanted to run on Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca.

I will race on those before I die.

Huh, the 355 did far better than I would have expected. Have you ever *seen* an F40 in person? Truly an impressive car... in fact I hate to use the pedestrian term "car" when it comes to an F40.

No kidding, dowload already!

Without a doubt the F40 is my favorite Ferrari. Well maybe the 288 GTO. And then there's the 365 Cali Spyder. . .and you can't forget the F12002.

DOH! That misshift made me cringe!

then there's the 365 Cali Spyder
right:

kind of a wierd lookin' car. 330 GTC fron w/ 365gtc/4 rear/tails.


Do you mean, the 250GT LWB California Spyder. This car?


of the 365 Daytona spyder? This car:



Interestingly enough, there were no factory made 365 daytona spyders. Rather, there were factory ordered cut daytonas that became spyders. The most prominent being scagletti ( a previous coachwork), sheenan also had a business cutting daytonas.

The topic that was being discussed on the other board about this video was the fact that the F355 had racing tires on, while the F40 has street tires.

That's the cause of the advantage.

AHHH,, I hated to hear that.
Also, pretty bad job at rev-matching @ 9:41:11
What a sweet sounding car though..

If you don't race at the Glen, there isn't much point to racing at all!

Knighton and I were watching that F40/355 video and realized that they were not going as fast through T4 and that tight little infield section as some of our ITR/Prelude brethren.

Although, if I were driving one of those cars, neither would I. If I wrecked an F40, I think the Pope would damn me to Hell.

The most amazing course I've seen is the one in Australia. I think it's called Mount Panorama. Imagine Laguna Seca but about 4 times larger.

Hehe... I'm still waiting for Mike to post the "after" photo. I still have the last photo of the car still intact, a full one second before he lost it and went ***-end through the snowbank after T3.
