My car, number 15, heading through the S curves, up to turn 5.

Another attempt at capturing motion, this time on the straightaway between turns 12 and 1.

This car was coming into the pits. Notice all the ambulances and emergency vehicles right off the track. They were on standby any time we were driving. Scarey, but nice to know they would be at your wreck in a minute or two.

Driving up hill allows you to take turns faster. This car is coming up the hill between turns 1 and 2.

Heading into turn 3, the best line is to run across the rumble curbs on the inside of the curve. It bumps the wheels up and lets the back end take the turn faster. A bit awkward feeling at first. After a while you learn to trust it.

Coming out of turn 3. Notice all the tire marks from people who didn't do too well in turns 2 and 3.

Leaving the pits for our practices at race starts. It was a bit unnerving entering the first corner with so many cars around you and limited visability out of the car.

Coming around for the race start. The pace car has left the track and we are looking for the green flag.

Crossing the line and getting the checkered flag. Normally more exciting, for us it just meant to take a cool-down lap and bring the cars in.

This is one of the cars they would not let us drive. Notice the different paint scheme. It has more horsepower and the suspension is tuned for less understeer.
