It's over 9 minutes long, cut down from 25.

Had a blast out there.

Also, I am in the Novice/Intermediate groups, so I can't say that I'm amazing or anything. But it does feel nice to pass cars that cost a lot more than mine.

I've been recommended to move up to the next run group, so next time, I'll be getting passed like crazy with more advanced drivers!

Nice Kenny and congrats on the great results!

You don't have Canadian Tire stores down there do ya'? I saw a couple of their logos at what I think was the first turn.

Way to represent, Kenny! And congrats on getting to move up!

Nice and smooth Kenny, only the one @#$% moment, unless you cut the rest out

wall was a lot closer in the video than the still.

Thank you

Watkins Glen is not far from Canada and lots of people go to MoSport. I've never seen one, but maybe they have them upstate.

HAHA! Thank you, and no I didn't cut out the other rough spots. I just know the video can get boring if it's too long.

You should make a list and post it of the cars you note passing.
I think that hilarious
Very smooth and nice calm hands. Keep it up and maybe you can talk with Red Bull about a sponsorship.

LOL right.

Do you have the RMR 'style' bar or an actual Roll Bar? I really want to 'graduate' from AutoX but I dont have a bar....

kennysabarese · « **Reply #9 on:** August 09, 2011, 11:41:44 AM »

RMR Style Bar. My local Porsche Club allows it.

GeeTeeOh! · « **Reply #10 on:** August 09, 2011, 12:26:36 PM »

I'm jealous now.....

kennysabarese · « **Reply #11 on:** August 09, 2011, 12:27:56 PM »

Try to find an RMR bar, or have someone clone one, then come to Mid Ohio with the NNJR PCA next year.

Way to go, Kenny!!

Great driving Kenny, so smooth the moves you made like directing a symphony the way you were driving! May be wrong but with the Cayman S's, Cerrera 911's, and the Boxster I believe there must have been 12 Porsche's plus the BMWZ4 and the Mustang GT that you passed easily.

Ya got that BMW fair and square..looks like fun..good job..

Well done Kenny. Nice lines! You were hitting all of the apexes too. Gotta love coming close to the wall. But really, you have to push the car to it's limits. Just the job!

It was on the track last year so I think a 4.6

do you really have to wait for them to wave you by to pass?

I need to just go get my racing license from mid ohio.

Yes. You have to be signalled to pass. I think that is common practice in HPDE events.

It's key for an incident free weekend. Only thing worse than hitting the wall is hitting another car.
