I can't even watch the footage is so bad. Could have been great if they'd spent $20 on a camera mount.

Well i did'nt have the mount in time .. Its not that unsafe she had both hands on it the hole time..So if your the safty police you can F*** OFF!!Or maybe your just a hater.As for it being so bad i've seen a lot worse.. We were just trying to show you guys how well the car ran against cars with well over 100RWHP..than ours. As for the safety police so we don't get going on this site. I will be in your area on the 18th and 19th of this month if you would like to discuss in PERSON PLEASE PM ME

sorry but the track events i run require that no loose objects be left in the car. that includes cameras which must be mechanically mounted. in the event of a crash, there is no way she could hold on to it and it could definitely injure someone. i was just trying to warn you for next time. congrats on the track time and doing well but the reason we track our cars is to do it in a safe environment, not the street.

Wow, what group were you running with that allowed you to run with a camera in the passenger's hands?

And I'm shocked Monticello's flaggers didn't bring you in since I know THEY take safety seriously as well.

That is one poorly driven GT3RS. Watching those videos was putting me to sleep. Your car is capable of faster laps than that!

Step one- Get a camera mount!!! That is unsafe!!!

Step two- more seat time and get an instructor at a track you've never been to, you were off line in serveral on those turns.

Step three- rinse and repeat

How could you see the track and the line he should've been taking?!?! I'm very familiar with Monticello's long course and I had a hard time figuring out where he was on the track with the quality of the video!

I'll be instructing with the Ferrari Club there 4th of July weekend

Not as familiar as I am with it, I supervised the building of it and currently manage the facilities at Monticello.
I saw enough from the video to see he should have had an instructor, plenty of early apexing and pinched corners (probably following what the poorly driven GT3RS was doing).

Nice. I LOVE the long course there. It's scary fast though in a beginner car with "normal" cars having so much horsepower and the beginners not really knowing what to do in an emergency situation.

I'll be honest... I didn't even make it to pit-in on that video

I should've come in here and bumped this sooner. I was there two Fridays ago with NASA and this past Thursday/Friday with the Ferrari club. I got to drive my student's 430 and WOW. The more time I spend on the long course, the more I like it.

Someone taking pictures liked the rainbow wheels on the G35:
