I made my second trip out to the Nashville Superspeedway last weekend and drug a co-worker and his Mustang Cobra with me. He drug his wife with him and she brought a video camera. They put a few pictures of my car from the September driving event on their webpage as well as 2 compressed video clips of my 914 comming off of the road course onto the front straight ( the video clips are at the VERY bottom of the page).

Had a blast once again. The local driving school has now added some more local courses to its schedule like;
Memphis Motorsports Park
Road Atlanta
Little Talledega
Barber Motorsports Park
Carolina Motorsports Park
I will try and recruit some 914 people that are from the area (*cough* Perry *cough*) into making the trip with me next time out.

Cool video. Our local sports car club just announced that Rockingham was opening up its' infield road course again, and that we had 2 prime dates reserved in '05. Looking forward to getting out on that 24 degree NASCAR banking!!

I'm up for track time. Too bad I don't have a running teener. I'll be more than happy to help you out with yours though.

Thanks!! The car has been converted to a 2.7 liter six. The engine has 40mm Webbers, 8.5 to 1 pistons, a Solex cam, a mild port and polish, GT racing headers, and a stock 911 muffler. I would guess it is making close to 200 hp at the flywheel.
The videos were shot near the end of the day so the lighting isn't great. I also found out that when the stock gas tank gets down to about 1/4 of a tank, the fuel starts to slosh around and miss the pickup which screwed-up my exit onto the front srtaight. Even so, I was able to hit about 125 MPH before slowing for the first corner (probably close to 120 MPH when I pass the video camera).

If I ever get mine going I'd be up for it. I'm going to school in nashville at the moment anyway.
