[QUOTE]The Honda Challenge H1 guys were out there. Holly cr*p, those cars are fast! They did 2:01 and change. These cars are faster than the RSX, simply because they follow different rules.
During practice Elliott pulled some moves on a couple of S2000

 

I wonder if that was the guy that did a fun run with us in H1 (i cant remeber his name) .. I was there in the green del sol #22

 

2:01 with the bypass really isn't -that- fast.

 

for a H1 car on RA1's it aint bad.
the current H1 lap record is 1:59.833.

 

:59 is far better.

 

In the post he indicates they were not using the bypass.

 

nasa always uses the bypass.

 

You are right. He says they were using "the longer route" and that the "shortcut" was coned off, but reading more carefully he says the "shortcut" was to the right and went to the very top of the hill. I'll cut him some slack, though, since this is his first trip there (and he's the father of the driver rather than the driver himself).
