Video - Shift S3ctor June 9th Willow event

Hopefully I won't be the only one post videos and I need time to get more together but here is a fun one to get started. I ran with the beginners so i could get to know the track better...but got held up a lot buy smaller HP cars.

Awesome video Jason. For all that weight, your car performed amazingly on the track.

Here's my car in action at the event against Terry's amazingly fast 135i. Both cars had a passenger.

And for reference, here's a recent video of that same 135i running an 11.2x at Famoso Raceway as it matched up against a new 2012 GTR.

I got my *** kicked the last time someone asked me to take it easy on them...not falling for that one again...
My old lady told me I can to this once a month...so I'll be at the track once a month if possible. Its so much fun man...and way, way less egos and attitudes than I thought would be there. Just good fun.

Hey hey...whats happening man? That was a good clean race. What the hell kicked in towards the finish when you pulled. I just noticed it on the video.

And that whole "I hate mustang drivers" thing was just adrenaline fuel track trash talking but you know that...it was good to meet you man!

I know my car was pulling several degrees of timing because of the high intake temps so i guess since your engine has a much higher load because of the weight it must have been pulling more timing then mine. At the beginning of the race my intake temps were 120* and at the finish line they were 170*.

No offense taken, it's all in fun. It's mot even close to what was said about the supercharged bmw.

I saw one of your open track sessions, your AMG even hauls *** around the turns.

It seems like most people at track events are pretty cool guys weather they are driving Miata's or Ferrari's.

I think it's more impressive that you can get your car around the track so well. I am an instructor with several groups in socal and if you just changed your lines a little you will pick-up 3-8 seconds. Next time we meet at big willow we can do a couple fast lead follow laps.

The CLS isn't a track car is all I ever hear and I'm going to do my best to prove everyone wrong. If I have to buy a GTR with a hitch to tow her to Willow because she is no longer street legal so be it.... Very interested in getting up there as much as possible...at a minimum on a monthly bases. Still need to research how thats doable. Thank you so much on the compliments too. Kalan did a great job teaching me if you know him. I wasn't as nearly as prepared as I could have been for the track though...especially with the tires I was using and on top of that I never check my PSI until late in the day and they were north of 50.
Would love to lead/follow man. The Omega and turn 9 are where I need the most help....imagine that.... Also - I also did a 1:43 lap but didn't get on video....Harry's Lap Timer was giving me a hard time.

The a really great time for being so new to the track. You should have no problem getting into the high 1:30's.

Thank me in person at the next one and hurry up about it please!

The only thing that matched the HP and adrenaline out there was the amount of respect and good people all around.

Good F-n times!!!!!!!
