Two laps with Mary Pozzi..
And she didn't even cuss!!
Just thought you guys would enjoy this.. dialing in the new Penske shocks.. money well spent.
Better if you actually go to YouTube and up the resoluting.. top speed on the course was over 70..

And if you like your Mary Pozzi a bit more on the "rough" side then this is for you..

Penny looks Primo, more flat/stable in the corners and seams to stay planted at take off. Great addition Steve. I know it's a small track set-up but how does Mary like the new engine transplant- Hp/Torque? PG13 my *ss....lol

To be honest it seems to roll more.. but in a good compliant way I'm sure Mary of David could explain better.. The body moves but the tires stay slammed to the road. We ditched the rear bar :shrug: Originally Posted by YancyJohns

Having an engine problem though.. might be t-stat related.. it's always something, but the suspension is feelin good."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

It appeared in the second vid that she was able to power through that turn where she lost the back end in the first vid...maybe removing the rear bar helped the car through there?(tightened it up just enough) Originally Posted by Steve1968LS2

Got in a bit deep and trail braked, started to get some rotation which we discussed for a bit, and then Penny said "Bite Me" and snapped around. How rude ...LOL. Originally Posted by John Wright

Cool, thanks for sharing Steve. Bad Penny sounds awesome, that camera angle showing the guages looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet. Mary is an amazing driver.

Hey thats just like my life, except my private track is the company parking lot, and I only get to drive 15 mph because security is watching, and instead of cones I get to park in an unassigned spot. Yup.... Oh wait...
Bad Penny sure sounds great. Watching that made me want to go home get my car and go for a drive.
I don't know how Mary resisted roasting those tires after that spin out.Mike Lara

Very cool Steve, I know How stoked I get when I feel I've had some changes made for the better, so I imagine you must be ear to ear right now.
I noticed a lot of cool vintage in the back ground, does El Toro have regular scheduled test days?
