Here's my spin into turn 4 at Roebling Road this past weekend. I was exploring how deep I could brake into the turn. Was there with Darkside DE. A great organization, a wonderful track. The weekend was loads of fun. I have a lot more video from the weekend. I'll post that later. Thought you all might like this. I had a camera on the rear bumper as well. You could see the flames shooting out the back during gear changes. Once Vimeo accepts the rear footage, I'll post that up too.

Here's a short clip.

what brakes do you have?

So, you were braking into the turn and spun out? It is kinda hard to tell from the video--it just seems to spin with out any explanation.

Why is the car vibrating side to side like that?

brakes locked up.. but looks like one side locked before the other... same thing happened to me, and then i found out i had uneven rotors...

the rotors on your helmet look good tho

Car sounds good man. At least you didn't get introduced to a wall, or a tree.

I've got Hawk Blues on the front and Blacks on the rear. I was exploring how deep I could take that turn and still make it. The brakes are plenty strong enough to lock up easily. I was running Toyo RA-1s. The slight shake is from the camera mount. I'm using the GoPro HERO HD.

Here's the rear view of it.

I was borrowing a GoPro Widescreen for the rear bumper. I have several sessions that I'd like to combine into a picture in picture (rear view inside of the normal incar). Anyone know of a free video editing program that will do this?

Smooth. The track looks pretty pleasant and relaxing, too, lots of big sweeping turns, with no elevation changes.

It's a great momentum track. Not much elevation, but there are several decreasing radius turns and double apexes. Great for throttle steering...

A little late but... enjoyed the video Levent. I absolutely love your car. It really doesn't get much more simple than that... all driver! See you at Road Atlanta next month with the regular track ho's?

Thanks Brent. I've actually signed up for Sebring which falls on that same weekend. So, we'll be at the track the same weekend, just different ones. I'll make sure to take some more video. I want to see that RX-7 of yours also.
