We were all briefed on the "you break it, you buy it" policy. This might've been their strategy in selling the car on Sunday

Yaa Hoos? Yes

A bunch? Not so much.


I remember coming over the crest of Valkyrie hill and thinking that the car would "push" out a little with that much throttle. Not at all with the downforce involved. On top of that, even with the DF, the steering still felt very light and direct. I definately knew what was going on at the tire/pavement level, but the steering was super light.

On top of all that, Todd and Matt were just awesome guys to hang out with!

i missed that part. maybe that's why i was so courageous.

seriously though, that car was remarkable to drive. i almost got motion sickness going through the halfpipe each time.

I was able to get the front splitter to scrape going through the halfpipe in the CW direction....but not sure if I'm supposed to admit that.

Here is Trevor getting ready for lift off:
