      hello (I was driving the white/blue/green Honda Civic).

      I'm a 'pro' (I've raced with NASA and EMRA and SCCA and IMG and VRG wheel to wheel since 1999, and I'm a pro driving coach at most of the east coast tracks too). that first turn was a BITCH! traction was poor in the brake zone; the turn was very tight, and at the end of the fastest straight. there were bumps and ripples in the transition (that is not the 'normal' track; that is the crossover when they are using the 'short' track instead of the 'full' track). It was really important (at least to me) to be first coming out of that turn after the start, and then full tilt boogie on the twisty section so I could make up distance on the ground pounders before the main straight again. It was REALLY easy to blow it coming into that turn, and the margin of 'oh ****, that was a lil too fast' factor was really small. so yeah, a lot of the rednecks messed up coming into that first turn. remember also, that most of the those redneck cars were a REAL handful. I know even driving my piddling 330 whp Honda had my eyeballs nearly popping out (especially on the narrow 205 street tires that I'm not used to running on). I'd have loved to have run the full track; I have more aero than most of the Redneck cars, and it really comes into play over 100 mph; on the full track I'd have been over 100 a good bit of the time, too.



      I'd really like to get invited back for Season 2 (anybody know if there is a Season 2, and when the filming is gonna start?); the new motor is in the car, and this time it's not a tired old stock junkyard motor; it's a fully built for boost K24 which put down an easy 420 whp at only 15 psi. I'd love a rematch...
