      Definately not a road course by any means. Perhaps Autocross....quite the surface they have there....

      That thing has a good suspension and a good driver. You can see there was a bit over oversteer but it was very well controlled.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      he did say "cone road course", sounds/looks like standard auto-crossing to me. (EDIT: meant: either speak is fine)

      Great video! Excellent suspension and driving!!! looks like serious fun.

      I've seen that vid before... but it's still cool the 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) time!!!!!

      I would like to know the specs on his suspension though... it sure seems to be dialed in nicely.

      mannn yeah the t-tops made the car. I really wish I had t's sometimes...then I remember my rust free floorpans. Seems like a fair tradeoff to me.

      766 at the spring = 165 lbs/in at the wheels.
      600 = 129 lbs/in at the wheels.

      Good driver, nice run! concrete is less forgiving of overdriving but he did very well!
