Yes TWS. A guy in a yellow Ferrari 360 I met talked me into it. Started out in green group and worked my way up. I wanted to do the Big bend open road race. But thats an 8 hour drive and they require a roll cage. TWS is only about 45 to a hour away.

I watched the video and really enjoyed it. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

Just remember that mistakes are usually fatal at those speeds.
Something as simple as a tire blow out can not only kill you but can kill other drivers on the race track.
Be careful and check everything twice before you do it again.
Damn.
Just Damn.
I'm a little jealous.

Well, I don't go hiking in grizzly bear country. I don't go surfing were I know great white sharks are. I don't go sky diving. I don't go mountain climbing. So if my only vice in life is to go fast on the race track once in a while, then I guess I will just take my chances. I guess I could stop driving it. Park it in the garage and just stare at it. But thats just not me. Its a race car. Whats the point in owning one if your not going to put it through its paces once in a while. I just had to know if the car would really live up to its reputation for being able to do around 180mph and I got my answere. And at no time during those speeds did I ever feel uncomfortable like the car was floating or at its handling limits. If I did I would never have pushed it that far.

Please don't take my comments wrong.
I was not judging you in any way, shape or form.
I have no room to talk.
I have gone hiking in Grizzly country, was hoping to shoot one (didn't).
I've gone Abalone Diving in Bodega Bay.
I've jumped out of the door of a perfectly good airplane while the motor was running.
I've been to the top of Mt. Shasta in N. California (14,162ft)

Each and every time I've done something stupid (and exciting) I've always made sure that my equipment was appropriate for the occasion and that it was in good working order and that I knew how to use it.
No more, no less.

Sadly, I've never had my Z faster than about 130.

Maybe someday.....
But you can be sure that I would take every necessary precaution.
