Yep, drive it hard every chance I get. Only a track car nowadays. 136k original miles and counting!

I was at the same track event as Mr. Stone this past weekend. Ran a fastest of 1:42:2 on some Hoosier track tires.





in car camera from one of my fastest laps. Transmission had a few issues during this race. Replaced yesterday...

You are pretty hard on trannys! How many 3rd gears now??

You DO use the clutch, right?

Kidding aside, eric's car is sick. Check out the build at renntrack.

haha THIRD transmission of the year! I use the clutch, briefly...

Luckily I changed this one out before failure, so it should just need some new synchros and be good to go.

you can see my feet in this video. Clutch engagement doesn't last long...

I was leading the race and going through lapped traffic when he dive bombed me into the corkscrew. Got him back the next lap. Sorry about the glare.
