Like a Le Mans prototype through GT traffic.

Is that you driving? I would have guessed it was Keith Peare from Powertech - I've watched him drive many times - amazing....

What sanctioning body lets you "race" in a short sleeve shirt?

I saw that also.

Cool gloves though.

on the first video? That was obviously a DE, passenger in the car too...

That down shift in the first 20 seconds was brutal That hurts when you hear that

I did not see one person that would give him a hard time.

That car is amazing...2.0 liter 6, very light, very fast, and Keith is an amazing driver. Everyone knows him, and everyone knows he will pass you one way or another, might as well just let him through.
When he uses the 'bigger' engine, he can give 996 cups a run for their money...

That's insane! He is absolutely flying! Great driving through traffic.

Bob (naro914) - is there more info on the web about the car? I'd love to read more about his set up, weight, ...

Not that I know of. From what I remember, the car is a constant state of development. Keith is not the type to go show everyone what he's doing, he just takes in on the track and shows by winning. He owns his own shop (Powertech), so just works on it nights/weekends and really knows what he's doing.

That car is the ultimate example of a go-kart with a lot of hp. No windshield, lots of tube framing, very stiff, very light, etc. He even runs very small stock 914 brakes because they are lighter (and he obviously doesn't use them much). IIRC, 15" wheels for faster acceleration, re-geared transmission, etc. I only know this stuff because I used to live in NJ and knew Keith and the shop - and the car.

Here's a link to them with some pics of the car under Keith's name.

PESKY!

This is from the You Tube site;

The engine in this car is a 2808cc 6 cylinder with carbs. Nothing too special - stock rods and steel valves with a liitle head work. I do have the whole video, but youtube has a 10 minute limit. I just posted Lap 4 from that race, which is a clearer lap with two interesting passes. I am converting some video from other tracks - Lime Rock, Mosport, Summit Point, etc. and will post a lap or two from each. 2 years ago

Ah, didn't realize he had a 2.8. I've seen him run through the pack with the 2.0 too.
