Wow, great video...thanks for sharing your drive with us. Agree with previous poster - the 911 pass was schweet. Gotta get back to Seca in 2006.

Thanks!

After sitting out a season and a half...it was nice to be on the track again. When the time comes to choose between the 911 and 914 sometime in the future...it's going to be tough. Fritz really is put together well. We will see how The Beast turns out.....

Stay tuned for more 914 vids later tonight!

Trekkor,

That line through the corkscrew is -the line-. Excellently done!

Here's the trick... This is what I was told the day before my first laps at Laguna: "When you're turning into the corkscrew, and the track is dropping away from the nose of the car, aim for the large tree on the opposite side of the track.". Well, I thought it was a joke on the newbie, "aim for the tree... yer gonna hit it anyway...". But in truth, it drops you right onto the line and it's like dropping into a chute... woohoo! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Great vids!! Keep 'em coming!!!

Bill can drive, no doubt.

I'm happy with my line through the "corkscrew", too.

It's the next set of turns up to and through 10 that are slowing/scaring me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

This vid and mine following KenH are helping.

*************WARNING,HI JACK ALERT !!!***********

Oh ya do, eh?
I ain't sure bout the well built part, but it runs.
This is a big (32mg )download, but I like the format.

Nice Hi-jack JP! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

That course layout looks like it was fun...a few places where you can get on the throttle and let those Webers sing! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

I like the camera mount angle....is it up on the front windshield hoop?

Watching that vid reminds me they shoulda been singing in 3rd gear in a couple spots. Breaking too early in others.
I was trying not to embarrass my self in front of all them (200 or so) folks....to much caution, not enuff loud pedal.
That's Mather field, BTW. Typical SCCA deal, 4 runs.

I'd never seen an AX layout that big. Working one end of the course, I couldn't even see the far end. I only had time to walk in once and my first on concrete.....enough excuses?

The transitions from concrete to asphalt to concrete were "interesting".
I never found the limits on the concrete. I need another shot at it. SteveN beat me by 4 sec (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) .

Yes, the camera was mounted atop the windshield.....I haven't figured out how to cure the wind noise.

JP,

Mather is an odd site. Old B-52 bad if I remember correctly. So it's pads of asphalt and concrete. The transitions are sometimes funky, and the site doesn't lend itself to particularly "flowing" designs.

Seemed this course was really tight for a NorCal SCCA event.

Great camera angle though! Did you have a wide angle attachment on the lens?

You got it right, an old B52 base.
That was a "Chairity Event" so I think they were trying to keep the speeds down......it was a bitch to learn but that may just be me. The SCCA (from my experience) doesn't like fast AXs.
60ish mph from an average car is usually about it.

That was my 4th run and I was still tenative. It actually "flowed" pretty well. That one spot where I got out of shape (the front half of a tank slapper)
nailed a lot of folks in my run group (the mod group). The only downside was staging. The guy that ran it for my group hadn't a clue. Too long a story, but it was the worst run SCCA Ax I'd ever been to.

No wide angle...a stocker. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Do you know if it was hosted by Sacramento or San Francisco Region? SFR is a top notch region, I don't knwo what Sac is like nowadays (been a few years), but they weren't up to the same level back when I was running out there...

And JP, -you- should be gettting well above 60 mph at an SCCA event...(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I really enjoyed looking at the two videos at the start of this post…

And the one of Dan Thompson at Laguna Seca in another post…

A question:

I was able to same the Dan Thompson video to my hard drive a view it and show it to others…but I cannot save either of the two at the start of this post.

Is there a way to do this, or could you repost them using the same method that you used with the Dan Thompson video?

I have to get to Laguna some day. Have been to a lot of mid-west tracks (mid-ohio is my favorite) although Heartland Park is supposed to be all new by next summer, but have seen nothing like the left hand, down hill, right hand “corkscrew” at Laguan. Looks like a real “dry mouth” set of corners.

Thanks for the “look see”

Actually, Heartland Park is all new now.

They just did a major resurfacing of the track and paddock addition this winter. The SCCA Runoffs will be at heartland in 2006, that's the main reason why...

I hope Heartland Park is done by now, but our October DE was cancelled because the track was not finished in time....

All new my ASS!!

I'll believe it when I don't have to bounce around the carousel....

If they didn't DIG UP the old track, there is no way that they fixed it. (there were 6" wide gaps in the track last year) I also hope they reduced that 'accident waiting to happen' alpha zero that they installed in the front straight. [/RANT]


Oh yea,

Nice videos. I need to get the camera mounted in the track car before spring.....
