Trackmagic/Honda is a good combo. Just be careful goofing around like that, they can get very twitchy at high speeds and you don't have enough heat in the tires. Hit some uneven pavement and you could find yourself losing it before you even know what happened.

SKUSA Supernationals that just happened in Vegas this year.

The track was sectioned off in the Rio parking lot so the surface is much more rough than a typical race track.

Not sure if this is really them but "vid of schumacher and luizzi"

do all of them have the shifter out to the side? No paddle shifters? And how bad of a pounding does the body take when you drive one of these?

no paddle shifters just pull back to upshift and forward to downshift. your body will take quite a beating the first few times around because you're not used to it. getting some kind of rib protector can help out, but more than likely you're going to feel pretty beat up. even with the beating you'll take, you're going to want to go out again and again.
