The event was billed as an autocross, but was more like a high-speed small road course w/ some cones put in to slow the cars down in tighter sections. It was held in a development that never had homes put up, but the roads were put in. It was .9mi per lap--2 laps per run.
There were plenty of P-cars (was sanctioned by PCA), a few 430 F cars, a Superleggera LP 560, vintage cars, 125 shifter carts, Legend car--abt 80 entrants.
It was a very well-pubicized event w/ sponsorship, hospitality tents, bleachers, catered, the press was there, etc.
The 2 fastest perceived entrants were a 125 shifter cart driven by multi-time champ & pro driver Terry Borcheller (was the exhibition to show everyone 'how it was done'); and that 650hp Ariel Atom turbo that has vids flying around on YouTube (claims world-fastest Atom--I believe it seeing it accelerate!)
My GT-R not only took all the passenger cars by over 5 seconds on my first run--it beat the Atom & Borcheller's cart for overall fast time of day (and it was on Hankook R-S3 street tires! I was too lazy & didn't want to get the Hoosiers & trailer out).
Needless to say the crowd was stunned when I crossed the line on my first run--and so was I. lol We only got 2 runs & I aborted on my 2nd run, as it started raining & I had already secured FTD--so I took a Victory Lap lol.
Hopefully more vids will be posted, but here's a quick pick of the big off-camber sweeper (BIG pucker factor there--very bad consequences if you went off there).
GODZILLA RULES!!!
