  • Two days of hot lapping California Speedway

    This is the same track used by NASCAR and Indy Cars except we got the added fun of running the road course inside the oval rather than just going around in circles. The road course does make use of the front straight and turns 1 & 2 of the oval so we did get to zip around on the banking each lap. That was certainly different!

    I did a quickie edit to show a single lap of the track from in-car and posted some of the pictures the track photographer shot of my car.

    You can see it all HERE but here are a couple of teaser shots (and I only use the front vinyl bra when doing track days):

          Mike,
          I didn't see any dirt on the track!

                      Did you have the heated seats and the radio going while you made that lap? As always nice Mopar Mike.

                        Awesome pics & video Mike. Looks like you had a blast!
                        I'd love to take the SRT out there one day. Hey Mike you should have put the Ferrari F1 engine sound in your video. That would of been kind of funny!

                            Very cool! Was this an open track day, or a NASA event? Also, how'd you like running on the relatively flat & un-banked infield road course vs. a banked track like Willow or Streets of Willow?
