    I want to know the name of that song and artist.

    Cake is the artist,Album is Prolonging the magic, song title is... Satan is my motor

    How appropriate I thought as I wheeled through three hundred CD's to find the 'just right' music.

    Great video, if that was your second session (I am guessing here) you are doing extremenly well, almost a perfect on the line run (tighten up 17 a little) It was great having you guys, hope that you will now start doing this more often. See you at the track.

    Thanks, yes 17 and 7 were my nemsis this weekend, I saw god on turn 17 the next lap... he looks awfully a lot like a blue and white checkered wall with black streaks all over it. This was after a 120+mph run down the back straight to pass a Dennis, and Jeff Lacina (Lead Instrctr), left me with too much speed on entry, so I eased up a bit after that...

    Actually found that carrying more speed and staying wider early on 17 let me come through faster and smoother.

    Yes this was session 2 day 1.

    Man, that looked like fun. Any chance I can get a version with no music? I want to hear what the car is doing. I've made many a lap around Sebring, and it made me smile to watch that. However, I think it's time to call Skip Barber. No way could I keep up with you.

    Sure would be fun to see you go head-to-head with Gordon's Carrera, No?

    We had a great time Ed!
    Thanks for your hospitality!
    We already have reservations at the Sheraton for next year, let us know if y'all have any discounted rates there, as the rooms are $170 a night.
    By the way, tell your hotshot Mustang drivers to lighten up about our big ole "slow" Marauders...

    Well the audio is fairly bad due to the wind noise. I need to tape over the mic and see if it helps. Anyone esle have experience with this?

    As for Gordons Carrera, I need no encouragement, he'd kick my a$$, i cna improve a few spots and pick up the pace, but I reckon G is a good driver and with a great car...I'd be toast. But I would love to run with those boys if they'll have me!

    Skip barber, do it. I'm doing the 3 day race school next month, this was a good primer, hell it was awesome. I see this video in my head all night for the last three nights, I have every turn memorized, but the video helps you see where you can improve, its not as evident when your slinging a 4400# car around.

    Chuck I have some vids of all 4 marauders at speed, I'll post it when I have a chance to edit it down.
    Nothing like a supercharged MM screaming down the straightaway, right Dennis and Marc? Almost as fun watching as it was driving! (Almost)

    Yeah, Gordon can sling a car around the track, no question.

    But, I think you'd make up a lot of ground on the back straight.
