great race with wade, watch the whole vid, last lap comes down to 5 feet between Scott and me

for some reason start of video rewinds for a couple secondn but rest of video is fine.

That was definitely the best Stinger vid of the weekend. Great job guys. That was fun to watch.

awesome vid clip steve!!!!!

some observations:
1. go to Pep Boys and buy a $8 mirror like i put in the probe and we could see what wade is doing behind you!!!
2. your lack of limited slip really hurts you in oak tree and in T1/T2. (having an open diff sucks, yes?)
3. the draft off your sentras is huge once above 80 mph. if you have enough power/wt to keep within 3 car lengths or so to 80, the draft then becomes amazing. you close on wade amazingly at 100 and above! (and he closes on you the same, when he is behind you)
4. is your clutch slipping sometimes? it sounded that way on the clip sometimes, but it may have been that the sound is out of synch with the video?

awesome awesome race clip! and you almost had scott at the line! his hurt axle was killing him, and if there had been one more lap you'd have had him!

good job!

yea, i saturday my clutch was slipping, on sunday i didn't seem to have that problem (probably because car is making power or more importantly more torque, i started using 3rd in turn one

the draft is huge off our cars at that speed no question,

scott's bad axle slowed him big time in the 2nd part of race two on sat, another 100 yards and i might have had them.

Still great weekend, and great race with wade, we were nose to tail, side by side everywhere with no contact

as for the limited slip, problem is, you can't get a limited slip for our sentras anymore (believe me, i have been looking since i got home in hopes of getting one for next year!

it was also nice to have brakes in race two for the first time in 3 weekends, between the soft pedal the last three weekends, and the dead tire the first couple, this was the first weekend at VIR all year where i felt like i could really pound on the brakes
