The Dominating factor
Lately we have had many threads posted about dominating in HPDE and in racing. 
Lots of talk going around about who is faster and we are chicken if we don't travel hundreds of miles to prove someone right or wrong.
What are we to do to put all this bad BS to bed?
We'll....... I figured it out
yes, go by myself the badest hot-rod you can bring to an amateur race or HPDE and then there just can't be any question about it because even a dummy could drive the car and beat the pants out of anyone out there. 
My new ride:
To all my Corvette forum buddies that are coming to Sebring this weekend, I've got your spots ropped off, BUT can't hold them much longer than Wednesday night. I'm already there parked on the concrete just past the tower.
WARNING: I will be dominating HPDE!

So how about some details on the car - History - details on current chassis and engine configuration - etc. One little pic just isn't going to do this thread justice !!!

In 2008 car ran under Penske-Taylor Racing. It was the Toshiba #9 entry driven by Helio Castroneves, Ryan Briscoe and Kurt Bush.
At the 24hours of Daytona they finished 3rd.
Car is a Pontiac Riley.
That's all I know at the moment. Just took delivery of it this past weekend at Sebring. Will be driving it at Winterfest from Thursday on.
Now I'm going to buy some trophies so when I come back from an HPDE session I can present them to myself. I have a recording of people applauding that I will play as I look in the mirror when accepting my own trophy.
David and Tom: hurry up and get there or your spots will be gone!

Henry, you know I am all about bringing a gun to a knife fight Also, are you going to install one of those super 2 to 3 seconds a lap split rear wing. I hear it's what you need to win in HPDE.
