It could be something simple like an oil line or a seal too. He lost oil and it got onto the exhaust. It could have come from many places.

Unless he removed the rev limiter I don't think he over reved it. Not much point in removing it if you are racing.

I am more impressed how well the HHR was running in a field of sports cars. Look at the cars around him and in the mirror of the video.

He also did a great save.

Road Atlanta is a great track.

Hmm, mentions pedders suspension, so was that test on the stock suspension or the pedders? .97 is even better than I expected.
