We get lots of cool videos, but this one to me is very awesome to watch.

That was really neat. Sure didn't see much of the "Brake" bar. Did I see right, at about the 4:30 mark the car accelerated from mid 50 mph to 100ish in around 3 seconds?

Wow! Just ... wow! Nice catch at about 3:20.

Actually I did see the speedo briefly (and I mean like a tenth of second) hit 169. I was watching to wait and see when he'd get to 168, and it was towards the end (7min 14sec) mark when it was stuck at around 164-165 then it started to climb. I was hoping to see 170! Damn that was brutally fast. Yet very smooth. Great clip!

Randy thank you for sharing.

I liked the catch at 5:13 at 115 mph. Very impressive.

Actually there were two point were 169 blipped, the one you mentioned and one very early on at 1:44.

Michael Vergers

Not sure about who he is, but he makes it around the ring pretty nicely.

BTW-Is he really wearing short sleeves and street clothes???

Yes. For those that don't know, safety equipment or a tech inspection is not required to drive The Ring. I went around it a year ago in an Elise with no helmet. Feels funny to take the turns at over 100mph without a helmet.
