Video of 1:59.1 @ Buttonwillow in the HPA car

Here's the in-car footage of the HPA car's best lap so far at Buttonwillow:

http://vimeo.com/10838815

This was on Yokohama AD08 street tires with a few track days & 2 competition weekends on them, so they were pretty beat. We had little issues all day (lots of traffic and Viper Club guys do not watch their mirrors) and therefore did not get a clean lap until the last session of the day (4pm, hot track & very windy conditions) so I am confident the car can go quite a bit quicker. Still a great time for the car; Harold & I have been working to improve the chassis balance and definitely made a good step in the right direction with these most recent changes. The car has almost no oversteer now; before I was always working to keep the back end in check. Not any more!

As always thanks to HPA for the opportunity to drive this awesome machine, and comments/critiques welcome

Nice job breaking the 2:00 mark. BW is very fun, I look forward to going on a day with 13CW config.

13CW is a great config... slow, medium, and high speed corners. Plus its pretty much the benchmark for street car lap times on the west coast.

Damn, 5th gear through Riverside! You've got large attachments, pal.

I was at HPA yesterday and was drooling over the car. The new aero package is bringing it all together. The next Time Attack round should be very, very interesting.

I think you are too gentle on that car. You should push it harder.
