I think the french said it best: "ooh la la!!"
G-Busa, I haven't ran on the track yet. Did you see part one of this post? There was a guy on a 12. I think that's one of the biggest reasons why I want to get out on the track. I have not seen a comparison between the 1999 Busa and the first year 12. I know that there are pretty considerable differences between the 99 and the later model differences (considerable at least at the track). Regarding the leather, it's a requirement at the strip. Not many people wear riding gear when it's just Sunday cruising, but after the last incident, almost everyone has a helmet at least. I'll be sure to post my times when I decide to race, and I'll see if I can have a friend take the pics for me.
