30? Not that much. Think about it. Ian hit 192, I hit 170. Jim would pull away from me on the
straights so you figure he has to be doing 175-180 easy. That's maybe a 10-15 mph difference between Ian and Jim.
Even still I got my *** kicked by Ian. Ian is strong in the braking zones and through the turns and that's the only place I could catch Jim. When that element was neutralized and I knew I couldn't catch that car in the straights it was all over.

I was just quoting Jim, but yah, you are right. Jim said he was hitting 160-165mph. What you
might not be considering is Jim's CGT's acceleration from 140-165, which takes less than most cars on earth vs his terminals speed.
His car is likely 30% faster from 140-165, leaving you falling back and needing more top speed to actually close the distance he created.
By Jim's estimation, Ian was 27mph faster (subtracting his numbers from Ian's).
I do know that Jim's speed didn't seem any faster than yours at start finish. The same cannot be said for Ian, Randy or Chip! : )

"It was a blast running with a much faster car and having to rely on every bit of trickery and skill
I had that feeling most all weekend. Sometimes it is fun to be in a slower car. Your car is amazing. Really cool video.

Good job! It looks so damn fast! I like faster cars in front to inspire me.
I tend to start slacking off a little when I don't have a car to play with. And it's 10x more fun to play with other peeps than solo.

If that's the same car that was at RA this fall I don't think he had his foot all the way in it Dave.

Listen closely. You can hear it howl over my exhaust in my own car. Jim doesn't drive the car like
Ian would but I'm no better a driver than Jim is. We're both just amateur weekend DE kind of guys so at least the playing field is the same in terms of talent.
