Thanks for the comments on the line, it was my first time at The Streets of Willows and I found it a very entertaining track. If you were to seek times (in a controlled environment) vs an Elise, I would chose another track...that one favors smaller more agile cars and doesn't give the Crossfire HP enough room to get going.

Now I'm really confused, Are you the driver of the yellow Lotus that used to be, or is a photographer / cameraman ? If so, you definitely have a brain fade about the problems you kept complaining about with your Ohlins and how the springs kept separating from the perch. I recall you complaining it ended-up being classed in TTA with vettes and how you thought that was unfair. I'm wasn't blasting you, I was trying to show members of my forum that the Crossfire can be competitive on road courses with some modifications. I don't know why you think the Crossfire has more HP than it does ! It's rated at 215 at the flywheel with a base weight of 3,059 lbs. Your car, if memory serves me, is 198 hp 1,900 lbs (+/-) nearly a 1:1 ratio.
I didn't run in any of the "instructor groups", I believe I was running advanced... And of course, these are not "RACES" per se' the only way we know our times are from the transponders and the printouts.
If you would like to see some other videos of my Crossfire getting completely destroyed by other Lotus Elise's at Spring Mountain and Cal Speedway before any of my modifications, I'll post them... Hell, just say you were sand bagging me, or playing with me !!! I don't care, my best times on that track are terribly slower than the best time from an Elise, hell my times with NASA this year while I was sorting out the car are disgusting !!!
I don't quite understand this whole post thing from you and Bonnie from "Team Racing" It's a weird way to direct business / members to your group...
