SpeedTechnik/Hi Speed Motorsports Dodge SRT-4 before the full build for SPEED World Challenge in 2005 and 2006. In this video at Lime Rock Park in October 2004, my boss Hugh does a test & tune with it. The car still had another 200+ lbs. to shed and a cage to add, along with Moton Race Suspension, etc. later on in the winter months. It is NOT ME driving but my boss Hugh.

In this video, the car has street-spec coilovers from Mopar and minor bolt-ons with Toyo RA-1 tires (SCCA restricted the SRT-4 from making too much power). Car has stock intercooler, cold air intake, side exit exhaust & downpipe, stock turbo and boost pressure. Best lap was a 1:02.7. Not too shabby.

Especially sliding the rear end out in big bend in a FWD car before that turn was repaved very much so at around 9:20

I would think that the car club/racing organizations would be bowing down to more people wanting to do track days/races. With this economy, they shouldn't be so picky. With that said, I realize they might want to isolate the older cars from the newer cars due to the cars' "values", but they should not be the ones to decide. If you have lets say a new $90,000 Nissan GT-R and want to take it on the track for an HPDE, you should be aware of the risks, as the owners of the older, less valuble cars should. There shouldn't be any 'favorites' but i guess nothing can be perfect

And in HPDE, one shouldn't worry about if an older, less flashy car is passing you, as it's not about racing them or other cars, but about racing yourself. So that's a big issue that needs to be stressed more often in racing organizations.

To The Pope,
That car club needs to rethink their actions of not letting you on the track because they are losing potential drivers/racers in the future, and I have no doubt that your Omni could show some of the newer cars what speed means I know SCCA let's the older Omnis run so at least they're good.
