When I had my alignment and suspension on I would only scrape my front lip once in awhile. It depends on where you dive in and where you stay on the bank. You guys might be too low for this track. I usually go into the bank in 2nd gear and would be accelerating the whole time through the turn. The exit to the turn is tricky too, so you can keep your acceleration up that hill.

Mine's not down. Though, I do have two dings in the door and a small tiny scratch on the left side from shipment

Speaking of...I have to get two estimates on the damage to turn in a claim...anyone got a couple places they could recommend?

Yea that first one is nice but it sucks that it's a little blurry, and your car looks like a monster compared to the Porsche.

Suction cup mount on your sunroof? I was trying to play around with how to get a GoPro HD mounted on the outside of my car while I lap it, and decided that I'll most likely just have to pull over right as I get on the track and stick it in my bumper and then just pull it off before I leave so nobody notices.
