[09 ACR]

As we wait, thought I would share my first and only trackday of 2020.

Ours have all been cancelled so far :(

Nice one handed mirror fix haha

[SLP]

1:02-1:06 Just a casual 140mph chicane. That's insane.

[sharmut]

Hot damn, love the driving, you're at full throttle quickly.

[Bruce H.]

Thanks for sharing the passion Gary. I'm really afraid this video is the closest I'll get to a track I know and love all year. You timed it just right to get out when you did. Stay safe!

[txA&M08]

Great driving. That 140+ mph chicane with elevation change would have me soiling myself

[capevettes]

Nice run. Thanks for the ride.

[Arizona Vipers]

That's a fast time. Is the car bone stock?

[09 ACR]

I have H & C on the car. that is a good time for street tires. I will be in the high 40's low 50's with Slicks (mich)

[Larryskillzs]

This is absolutely moving.

Nice work.

Still a smoking time, great job! How much whp? Last years Ultimate Track Car Challenge there won it with a 1.51- https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/news/utcc-19-results/
The Michelin's won't be 4 seconds faster than the Kumho's though, not from my experience. Are you going to make it to Viper Rendezvous in a couple months?

[RacerJRP]

Gotta love VIR. So many great segments on that track. The climbing esses are full commit, but the following left that drops down hill and off-camber was always seemed to give folks more issues.

[ACRSNK]

Felt like I was in the car with you! Thanks for posting.

[ViperNC]

Well done with some nice heel and toe action. Paul Newman said it best: "If there is a heaven on earth, it is VIR." That entire facility is just awesome. Great flowing track with high speed sections and the esses are a riot. By chance do you happen to live within a couple hours of VIR? I've been thinking about taking the GTC up there for a track day, but without the extra ACR downforce I'd probably be a little more conservative. What group were you running with?

[Loud]

Awesome, fantastic driving.

[09 ACR]

I live in Fredericksburg VA so I am 3 1/2 hrs away. I try to go with Chin Trackdays and David Murry if the schedule works. Looks like the next time I will be there this year will be for UTCC. trying to see if I want to run Kumhos or slicks. it will be hot this year.

[Bill Pemberton]

Agree with AZ Vipers, doubt it will improve 4 secs ( Michelins), but crap 1:53 is smokin, so obviously this is not your first rodeo!? Very impressive run and I , for one, look forward to some more of your video postings later this year ( hopefully).

I agree but I can get there for sure with just some miner changes weight being one of the big ones. I am running everything stock I have a lot of extra weight i can get rid of very easy like seats (and myself :-)). I was at UTCC last year was 3rd fastest if i changed tires i believe i would have been second for sure.

Post up next time you're headed to VIR, AMP, Road Atlanta, etc. Would be fun to meet up and run the tracks together.

[q8blueviper]

Are you sure this is your first time !!! :drive:

[Bill Pemberton]

Why, yes , it was his first time...................first time posting a video on the VOA Forum that is, haha!!

Oh yeah I remember talking to you last year about that! You should post more here dude!

[SharpMan]

They must HATE you! LOL

[str5010]

Glad you made it out at least once! I'm not aware of any of he usual suspects in the NE having any such luck. I had my car ready for NJMP and it was cancelled 5 days prior to the event.

[Simms]

Awesome driving as usual Gary!

[Rare Snake]

And just like that...all my videos make my driving look like crap. lol

Great job.

Curious, are you rev matching normally, or is that one of those auto blipping bits of witchcraft? If that's all you... that's pretty wicked!
