Here is a short clip of some in car video from our FP 914 this past weekend at Road Atlanta... Len is behind the wheel. (more video to come when I get it edited)

When we first hit the grid on Saturday a Chevy HHR was on the grid with us.. we all thought it was a support vehicle for another racer until the cars rolled onto the track... When the guy started passing everything on the track except two SPU cars we wondered what the hell it was as he was dusting fully prepped cars on the straights and holding his own in the corners and under braking...

Come to find out it was an HHR Turbo, something I didn't even know existed.. Powered by a 260 HP a 4 cylinder Ecotec. Yesterday in the Race on the second lap it exploded into a ball of fury right in front of Len. The video tells the whole story!
