TWS Clockwise
TWS Clockwise Here are some videos from Texas World Speedway Clockwise (normal race direction is counter-clockwise). I was running with Porsche Club of America (PCA) in the yellow run group. 99 Formula: all stock except for front sway bar, Konis, and some nearly corded 555RII's.
First is a highlight video of all the Porsches I passed:

Remember ... don't hit the brakes till you are on the flat.

I'm not raining on your parade, but it seems like most of the people you passed weren't really driving flat out, ***** to the wall. It seems most yuppie porsche owners hit the track and just tool around like it's a sunday drive. The yellow GT3 (if that was it) sure seemed to be racing though. Nice vid, car sounds great for stock exhaust.

But passing Porsches with my stock Formula makes me feel like a real race car driver

After a few years of doing track days and now racing wheel to wheel, I have come to a single realization ...
At ANY level of motorsport you have 3 classifications of drivers ...
A talented driver that is fast in anything. Racing is his primary source of income.
A talented driver that is driving an under-funded car. Has to work a real job to fund the habit.
A "driver" that has a fat wallet backing him up. Born with or knows someone born with money.
Well over 50% of the cars on tracks today fall into the last category.

That looks like a blast! What kind of camera mount do you have? For Road Atlanta, I just had the passenger video (not allowed). Seems like the Porsche guys arms must get tired waving you on by. Also, that looks like a lot of racing 
. What did you top out at on the straight? The PCA is doing a similar one at the Virginia Int'l Raceway. How do you get hooked up with them? The Road Atlanta is only every 3 mos. Long time to wait!! Got to find someplace else. TMS looks like a blast. The Corvette seemed to be doing pretty good except for the one turn 
. Got to love the F-body handling!

Got to love the F-body handling!To run a PCA event, I just signed up on their website, http://www.clubregistration.net/ This has events listed for PCA regions all over the country. There are events at Texas World Speedway all the time: Driver's Edge, Motorsports Club, Nasa, and PCA are all clubs I have run with.
On the front straight, I would hit the limiter in 4th gear very briefly, which is ~133 mph. On the back straight, I would guess I hit 105-110, too busy too look at the speedo.
