This is my first wheel to wheel race at Infineon. The video is taken from my friend Bill's car. It's a lightly modded 2004 Z06. My tires and brakes fell off pretty bad half way through the race but I managed to hold on for the win. Enjoy.

Your buddy in the white stang is a hell of a driver.

Whats under the hood of his car to pull away from your buddys vette like that?

How many cars are on the course?

I'm in the white mustang!

I pull away from in the turns, he pulls me a little in the straights.

I believe there was 45 cars on course. They started us in the back so we had to work our way through all the other classes, to make it exciting.

That's awesome!

You still just H/C/I? I remember back when you bought this car.

There look to be some pretty aggressive drivers there which would make me a bit nervous using my own car, lol.

Keep us updated on the progress!

WOW!!!! You can drive man, congrats!!! Looks like a lot of fun, but man I would be scared to take my car out there in fear of losing it...

Looks fun

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The car is a pretty simple setup. Basically the entire MM catalog minus the rear adjustable sway bar, cobra brakes, Hoosier A6 tires 275/40/17 all around. The car is fully gutted with a full cage and has all the required safety equipment. It weighs about 2920lbs post race with me in it and has 321rwhp.

It is a lot of fun and very intense. The step up from time trialing to wheel to wheel racing was huge. I was exhausted and covered in sweat when I finished.

That was a hell of a finish Tim, damn those Z's are quick too. Looks like you've taken the notch about as far as you can the way it is now you need a little down force. Very very nice driving dude [worship]

Looks like a lot of fun! Is it common to have that much slower traffic? At times it just looked like a cluster fuck.

Clean laps were in 1:47-1:48, traffic laps were anywhere from 1:49-1:52.

I don't have any current pics of the car, I'll try to get some soon.
