Driving Ambition racing with Kip.

[amengineering]

Just curious what kinda speeds you were doing down the front straight? I was doing about 150 in my street car so I imagine you guys must be doing 180 or so? Do you have any in car videos of a lap around RA you could post so I can see where I'm losing that 30 seconds you guys have on me. LoL, but seriously I'd love to see a full lap from inside that car.

Hi, I believe shad saw data showing 172 mph +/-. Shad also may have video when the car gets home this week. Shad devoted alot to this cause and probably has an emense amount to catch up on. I'm sure he will post it when he can. Thanks for looking, Kip

Were you all using the water to air cooler that you sell on your website??

Too bad about the gearbox. That sounded pretty awful.

Kudos to Kip given that this was his first time at the track - and to Shad for having developed such an awesome handling and power - but us locals knew that already :wink:

Also kudos must be given to the BMW as well; it appears he was outbraking the NSX and catching up on the turns once he got his tires warmed up.

And great to have that rear view video :smile:

Where've you been Hrant? Kip brought this car to Laguna Seca last year and qualified in the top 5 in the Speedworld Challenge!

Yes I know (as I also get private downloads too LOL!) .......... all I was trying to say "in full racing mode in RA" ..... anyway, let's focus back on the great performance and achievements of the home team :wink:

Amazing work guys. Sorry about the transmission but I guess that is part of the learning curve.

GL and thanks for representing us!
