Hot Lap in an SRT Viper at the 2014 Long Beach Grand Prix

I was invited to take a hot lap around the race course of the Long Beach Grand Prix, just minutes before the green flag fell on the IMSA Tudor United SportsCar Series teams participating in the 40th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. My chaffeur for the very quick circuit around the downtown streets of Long Beach in the bright orange SRT Viper TA Pace and Safety car was Alan Rudolph, Bondurant SuperKart School instructor, National Champion in Shifter Karts multiple times, and accomplished driver of both LeMans and Formula race cars.

Jump to 1:10 to see the car really hit the track.
