You can really see the difference in driving styles from about 5:36 into the video. I am definitely a wheel-sawer!!! -Doug Very nice!

It would certainly have been fun to use the same car in both races!

Great to hear the Z didn't break! Why don't you try attending the Nurburgring 24hours next year, I'll put a crew together... (actually it's not that easy anymore, they want proof of 'Ringexperience by now). Best regards Volker wow, this sounds rather interesting, can’t wait to see the video!

]]> Comment on Labor Day weekend race report by Doug Makishima http://www.godoggoracing.org/2008/09/04/labor-day-weekend-race-report#comment-37 Doug Makishima Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:50:17 +0000 http://www.godoggoracing.org/?p=94#comment-37 Nice write-up! I've posted links in a couple of forums and on my Facebook and Plaxo accounts. This was one of, if not the most intense races I've ever run!!! I find it a both pleasure and a challenge to race with you! A pleasure because, though we pressure each other hard, we've managed to avoid contact (thus far). A challenge because you are an impressive driver in terms of both technical skills and racecraft, and it really pushes me to run at the top of my game. Yup, the T9-T10 inside-outside didn't work. I slowed up too much, and couldn't get into the draft for the NASCAR style sling-shot. I had enough steam though to get back in your draft for a tow into T11, and then pop to the inside to setup for the drag race. Though we came out of T11 dead even, I though I lost the race when I hit the end of my torque band, and saw you start to pull away -- but then came your upshift... I guess I had more left in my top end band than you had in your lower band that you were forced into by the shift. Enough to edge you by 0.045!

Great to see the 2.8 racing, wouldn't know where to get footage like that anywhere else (somewhat addicted, driving one myself [though your car seems to sound slightly better :-)]).
