so are you saying that HPDE =racing?
I always thought that HPDE was not racing and not everyone is driving at 10/10th.
that being said comparing cars in a non competitive enviornment is always amusing to me, especially when one of them is apparently racing/competiting.
this was why i got out of doing HPDE as fast as i possibly could, and got my license to race.
at least i know everyone one track is of the mindset that they are in fact racing.
thanks for the reminder.

What? Huh? Who said racing? Title says "track video" Sorry but WTF are you talking about?
Race group or "Red Group" are no passing rules, Instructor and advanced solo drivers. I was not "racing" anyone nor do I promote it to anyone including my DE students. Nothing wrong with driving 10/10th's if you know what you are doing.

Shawn,
I often pass Z06's & GT3's as well in the Expert run group, shoot I even passed a GTR in my mostly stock Mini Cooper twice (bet that was embarrassing for the driver).
Honestly I think driving a lotus forces you to be a bit better driver than a lot of other car types just to be able to keep up.

I agree, I know most of the guys in that vid, (My dad in the orange Elise) Buddy Mark V in the GT3 etc. We view it as friendly competition, each of us pushing it and having fun, I wait for point byes and I do not pass unless its safe to do so. I plan to bring my car home in one piece. I admit to having gotten Red misted in the past and chased down someone. I learned allot since that incident and wont let anger get the better of me.

Car that zipped past me was a F430 Challenge car.
I am running a BWR kit with Charlie tune, Decat , headers ,exhaust, and a bunch of suspension mods.
Shawn, the car sounded and looked great out there.
It was good running with you for a few laps. I was in the black e30 m3 near the end of your video. I got some pics in today from Henry at Colour Tech and here is one of our cars together...

See you out there next time...

hehe...we're kind of cheating according to the hardcore m3 guys
We swapped a euro 6cyl e36 M3 motor in there and this was the first weekend out with it. The original motor, even fully built, didn't pull nearly that hard.
We'll probably go back with PBOC in a couple weeks and again with Chin in October.
Let me know if you end up posting any more of the videos (or I can send you some $$ for shipping if you could burn me a CD with some of the footage of my car. I always find it helpful being able to view yourself to criticize my lines taken)

I really like that M3. Very nice car.
Just a short FYI about Shawn. He's a very good instructor for many South Florida HPDE organizations. He's also a very good driver. Fast and controlled.
I've been to 20 plus events with Shawn and have never seen him spin or get black flagged. Great driver, generous with his time and expertise.
An unsolicited comment but worth a mention I think.
