Since I've got nothing else better to do this afternoon - it's 4pm and none of my clients seem to be in the office or they have caller ID and are screening their calls - I thought I'd share some track video.
It's of my buddies in his M3. He's recently transplanted a 3.2L engine in his '95, added a set of headers, and basically drives the bejesus out of the car. Last year, he'd stick with me, a few feet away, throughout the entire track. Here's a video for reference:

Anyway, all thru the offseason we were talking smack. Nothing too bad just friends needling each other. He's easily the best driver out of my group of driving buddies so staying anywhere near him is quite an accomplishment. In addition, his car is very very well tuned. My winter plan was to beat him to a pulp by adding some traction enhancers...17x8.5 and 18x10.5 wheels and R tires. The latest vid from this past weekend, seconds :50 thru about 2 minutes:

Truth be told, I'm on R's and he's on street tires, so that's the performance equation right there. It just felt good to FINALLY pass him and have him chase me to no avail. But the R's were noticeably giving up their traction that day.
Fun times.
