Nice Ross. It would have been nice to have an in-car camera of the drivers' face so that you could see the DB's face when he went in the mud puddle.
You and me both! The shit eating grin on my CEO's face was justice enough when I got out of my car

Absolutely

A good ten minutes of the first session was the pit guys getting people moving who stalled. These cars were so light that you could let the clutch out pretty abruptly and the car would start moving. They used a regular street car clutch so people like the 90% of drivers there could actually drive these things :LOL

I taught a co-worker how to drive stick the week before. Once he got out there he was flying

Oh, so after a little practice, everyone was decent at driving these beasts?
