Nick Drives the SER CT CART Poconos and shows me how not to brake :)

LOL Nick is asking me if he can go 8000 rpm...in 3rd and 4th gear on the straight. We didn't time this lap, but he ran about 68-69 seconds on my old CO's (lower springs) and two people in the car (extra 200 lbs). My personal best ALONE is mid 67 second range. He's lifting the passenger rear tire in the fasted turn on the track. Nick's a great driver. Can you tell he's making me slightly nervous (very hard to do) :D

hey man that's a great car. wow. i love teh sound around 235. "you can run 8000 in second" hahaha. looks like it handles amazingly well for a fwd, se-r's aren't too bad, but like most fwd understeer, or with a rear flick. yours is stable all the way.

@accordv6er - good observations. From Mike Kojima (July 2005, SCC Battle of the Project cars) -

""Even in the wet, this is a brilliant machine...with balance as close to Neutral as any front driver I've experienced, it's as easy to control as a light switch. Oversteer is only a lift of the throttle away...None of this brilliance keeps me on the track....3 laps in, I'm coaxed into an overconfident slide off turn 3...ends up locked in a 3-way tie with SRT-4 and STi" LOL, been there, done that!
