    Excellent! The Fairmont is an unlikely track car, but I'm a big fan of unlikely cars doing cool things. What motor do you have?

    what's so unlikely about a Fairmont as a track car? it's a Mustang with a little longer wheelbase and more head room..

    Cool video -- Fairmonts are so "right-sized" in my opinion. I love a good box . . .

    The driver of that Fairmont had better lines than you. He was late apexing, and you were early apexing. It's no wonder he stayed ahead of you, despite your faster straightaway speed.

    I'm sure the op will take that as a compliment. He was driving the fairmont.

    Oops. Sorry about that, Snailmont. As I said, your lines were much better that the Mustang driver's lines, especially once you put your mind to it. It was pretty obvious that his straightaway speed was much higher but you left him behind exiting the corners.

    My account somehow got deleted, and I had to sign up all over again. Here's the video.
