will have the bobble head effect. you hit every blue and yellow marker around here. is that the intention to kind of cut this track in half? >> yes, that is the total innocent. you want could to clip them at the right time and right place. it basically straightens out the racetrack. the car really likes to go straight and didn't like to turn, especially these big cars. >> you are trying to compromise. you are looking for a ton of forward drive because we have 700 800 horsepower and we have these turns and somehow we have to turn these things. so trying to find the balance between the two is hard. >> through the s's, once you get through 7b and start to come back through the s's into the hairpins, you know, i think if you could get your car working there. i feel that is the key place to be fast at and if you look at racecars that are really good through the s's. >> how fast were we going? >> 135, 145 miles per hour

around here. it's not a really, really great top speed, but it's all rear view mirror. it's fast with these big storr stock cars. >> i didn't realize how many times you have to shift. first impression. >> did not wet myself. pretty proud of that. >> you get a lot of respect for how the drivers race the course because it's tight. everywhere you go there is no room forro whatsoever. >> it's superfun i would do it between in a minute. actually i want to drive it next. [ laughter ] >> very violent i think i was just beat up. can you smell fear? >> i didn't smell fear at all. i think you are the the brave guy i had. >> i'm backment. [ laughter ] >> and they will be doing it for real tomorrow. that is it for this saturday night edition of sportswrap. see you again tomorrow at 5:00. >> i say we call him fred gordon from now. >> well, why not? >> [ laughter ]. >> he did give us a new perspective on how tough that

course is tomorrow. >> any projections for tomorrow. >> mark ambrose is on the mole. >> and what a game between the giants and a's. >> that had to feel almost like a playoff game. you couldn't ask for any more drama. a tough loss for the a's and good win for the giants. thank you, joe. >> that is our reporter to tonight. thank you so much for trusting ktvu channel 2 news. we'll see you the next time newsbreak. >> be sure to join us at tomorrow morning. we're always here for you on ktvu.com and ktvu mobile. thanks for joining us. have a great night.
