Putnam Park with Predator Motorsports

Decent video of the Exige S having a good time (1:22.2s best lap) with worked-Mustang, a BMW, and a Lotus 7 (very quick driver in the 7). I had the opportunity to meet a couple of Lotus guys (Chris, Jason, and Mike) and another guy, Rob. Good guys, great time at Putnam.

I played with the shocks a bit and messed with tire pressure all day. Finally was able to take off just about two seconds from my last day at the track.

Enjoy the video. Lap seven is the quickest while lap six looks the best on video (watch between turns 8A and 8B and 9).

Great video, nice lines (quick hands!). I was in the Seven. I saw you in my mirrors and let you catch up as we were among the fastest in our (slow) group and I wanted someone to "race" with. I got my wish and promptly slid off the track a bit later. If you were doing '22's, I think I was doing '24's. I was hitting 95 mph at the end of the straight and it looked like you were hitting 118 mph? When you passsed me on the straight, I never lifted, you were just that much faster.

I timed a guy who was supposed to be quick in the faster group and he was 5 seconds slower than you.

The driver of the red Exige (with black racing stripes) crashed at turn 10 (backed into the guardrail). I think it was just after you after you left. The car was undriveable tho driver seemed ok. He apparently got wobbly coming out of 9 and he wasnt able to catch it.

I put abt 170 miles in on the track yesterday, even tho I left before the final session.

I enjoyed seeing my little 93 hp wonder zipping around the track, thanks for the video.

That sucks about the red Elise. I'm pretty certain that was Chris (ChrisN). I hope all is well.

Here is a video for you. One lap chasing you down! YouTube is processing the video, so it may not be available for a couple of minutes. Also, instead of watching it "embedded" below, double-click it and watch it at the YouTube site where you'll have the option to watch it in high quality. Much better than the embedded version, and bigger!

Thanks! What fun. That little sucker realy has sharp turn-in: lives up to its go-kart reputation.

I dont know much abt the red Exige tho I heard that it hit hard enough that the radio came out.

Turns out there was a pro photographer there. See his site to see 80 or so photos of your car/order one if so inclined:Spitfire Photo Pro.

Got 'em. He took a bunch of photos of all the cars. Nice bonus for Predator Motorsports!
