Thanks, for sodas I assume you mean 6 cans of soda and we had 7 full 32 pack cases of water left?
Yes, 6 cans and a whole lotta water...

to the best of my knowledge the go pro was not on during any of my runs... never really thought to ask of thought i would get FTD.. i just wanted to go really dang fast ( i even messed up one turn in the run (least in my mind i did)).. kinda stinks that the idea didnt come up

Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

Charles: Yes the Corvette does the SPC events in 1st gear...60 mph is my rev limiter (7200 rpm). Almost never get that high in St Pete. Makes the car very easy to drive-lots of throttle steer (cause I can't drive) and plenty of engine braking-although second event with a set of true autocross pads-worked quite well.

One of the images shot shows what I believe to be a spark or two from the front calipers! Cool...or hot as the case may be!

Thanks-Tim

Check out my hamfisted driving on YouTube. Didn't get video of my fastest run or video of any of Bill's runs.
