it's a track owned by the Buccaneer Region SCCA. I'd say it's pretty private. Been around since the 70's I think. It's located in Chatam county in Bloomingdale. Every one says it's in Savannah cause everyone knows where Savannah is. It's off Hwy 80 west of I-95, north of I-16.

I'll have to plan a trip there when there is an event

I recognize yours as well. I finished third at the SIC race only cause everyone else crashed. I ended up being disqualified because my carb was modified for mechanical secondaries vs. vacuum. I bought it that way but didn't think I'd ever finish good enough to be teched.

Both turn5 and braking are 23 seconds. Turn3pass is 12. Turn2pass is 15.

Do these lengths sound correct to you?

BTW, it's some cool sh|t!

OK, just wanted to make sure that everything was working correctly as far as the uploading goes. I'm not sure why they wouldn't download correctly though. Have you tried from any other machines?

Yeah, and my ISP might get a little upset about that if it started getting downloaded all the time. I wish they wouldn't bitch when people actually use the 24/7 bandwidth they pay for.

The second one is getting on the freeway also, trying not to hit the car in front of me hehe. It's hard to tell how hard I got on the brakes sometimes.

http://www.rx7page.com/movies/13bt2.mpg

The third is getting on the freeway again (all 3 are different entrance ramps) I go through the intersection easy then floor it after the hump in the road. You can see how 1st and 2nd are pretty much worthless but when I shifted into 3rd it bogged a little. I'm sure the 95deg F nd high humidity were stacking up against me On a nice night 3rd doesn't bog like that. I get up to ~100 then have to jab the brakes before rearending people on the freeway

Thanks again Matt for uploading the vids!

I do believe you bogged third cause you were spinning in second. Temperature and humidity had nothing to do with it. You shifted too hearly cause you have a heavy foot.
