Very cool pix.

One reason the Lazer may appear more agile is its lighter and slower. It will turn a corner sharper due to weight and speed. I was also pulling 10 "G" on almost every corner in that video. My old shakey bones cant do that anymore. I do 3 9.5 to 10 pulls in my demo now, but thats it.
THe Lazer was on average 170mph at 930 pounds and the CAP 1330 pounds up to 240 to 250 mph on opening type manvrs. The corner in the CAP is much larger for that reason.
Now, when the Bucker is done, I'll be able to do a corner that looks square, but it will only be 4 "G" and going about 120mph!
