Took some video of an open track day this last Friday. There are three of my most consistent, fastest laps to date, all in the 1:55s. I ran one 1:55 the last time I went out with consistent 1:57s after I put some old radials I had laying around on the car from a couple years back, so I got the most out of them the last track day. This time they held on for about 4 laps in the morning, and then just got greasier and greasier as the track and the day warmed up.
So I have three clean laps back to back at the beginning, a slightly slower overall time lap as the fourth but there was some neat traffic so I left it in and it was my fastest shot down the bobsled to hell and sliding back up the hill, then some footage of traffic to see some cars, general bloopers and random chaos. And then I realized upon editing that I left the camera on when I finished, so I got a bunch of footage of various folks coming up and asking questions, talking about the car when they thought I couldn't hear which is always funny, but I threw in one snippet of a corner worker that worked down in that area I would go sliding through and the open wheeler spins. The springs are getting stiff enough that I know I have to get the right camber set on the car, some new radials, then monkey with tire pressures. I suspect that I am in the "1/2 psi makes a big difference" spring rate range. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg8SkOZVLBs |

Got a chance to edit video over the weekend so there are two new vids up on YouTube. Here is my channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/byndbad914?feature=mhee can check out the first one which is just the fast laps but I mixed in-car footage with footage my cousin Dylan shot from the flag tower, then there is one with Dylan in the passenger seat and it also has the fast laps but in-car footage only. Randal - I saw some footage of the Cascade run on YouTube by a guy in a 510, that looks to be a cool run. Do they always set up cones and make people do a slalom about half way through the run? Same guy ran the Medford track and it looks really tiny, holy crap. He ran it in one gear and only shifted to 2nd for the short straight. It is sort of a like an AX course but with an actual track and not the cones. |

I really appreciate that you and your car have achieved their greatest potential! Not only great engineering, but great driving! I SALUTE YOU!!! All the Best, Terry |
