Didn't look like anyone was racing. Looked like a track day. Totally different than a race.

you are right this was a track day
i found out that the viper in stock configuration is not a race car at all. after 4 laps there where no brakes at all but the power is ok.
i was happy enough it happend on a place with an emergency exit.
i wanted to know if somebody raced it and what he might have done to improve the overall handling without going crasy
