Interesting view of Thunder Hill circuit

Looking back over the wing of a very fast black Noble--affectionately known as Darth Vader .

Based on what exactly? I'm sure the car is plenty fast but the lap themselves were pretty slow and the driver certainly wasnt pushing it.

Nice camera mount point though.

Admittedly somewhat hard to tell from those laps since the driver (who, BTW, has competed in several pro series) was just doing demo runs with passengers when the camera was on board. When he turned the car loose for full hot laps he was quickly into the low 1:50s. The car dynos at about 600 rwhp .
