Well I have a video...It sucks because it was a last minute job with my hand held camera velcro'd to the dash and my chip didn't have much recording time left on it but it's a small window into what track day was like. I only made about 10 laps to check the car and the track out, next time will be a bit more serious.

Looks good. I should have some footage of the car from the 2007 SFSF event, but I haven't watched the video in a long time. Steve may know as he's got a copy.

Did you have the lower gears in the car when you ran it?

Nope, 4 speed and 2.94's as delivered. It actually runs pretty darn well just like it is, I was loosing traction exiting the slower corners (worn tires were a factor).
With a little gear in the butt that thing should grab RPM rather quickly. Was the torque a help going out of the corners. notice you had to down shift quite a few times.
