actually he can pull me on the straights in a drag race, if we were to start at an even speed... but the reason it looks like i pull on him here is because of my corner exit speed... im flying out of those turns ;-)

Sweet off-roading 7 you got there ;)

How fast do you think you were going when you made your excursion?

I don't see you running off the track...I see you using as much of it as possible to get a better entry line into the next corner...:D

who is faster on the track?

Cgotto6 12-27-05 06:20 PM

Awesome video as usual. Glad to see that you can keep the new supercars in check! Those two are real animals and you seem to be just toying with them...I know the Z06 was on street tires (screwy tire pressure system), but how about the GT? If you even know.

bajaman 12-27-05 06:52 PM

That is a cool video! :icon_tup: Nice bit of driving there too....even with the uh...'wide approach'....you were driving the pants off that thing! Good job.

Dammit I wish there was a track like that around these parts! Where exactly was that and how much does it cost to go play like that?

jimmacsrx7 12-27-05 08:00 PM

track
 
Nice vid... all your buddy needed to be doing was chasing a black Charger up and down hills in S.F. and we would have Bullit... love the sound!!!! All i can do now is go to the indoor cart track and.... dream!!!

recon fd 12-27-05 08:40 PM

W.......0...........W.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

awsome car!!!

damian 12-27-05 10:06 PM

>>who is faster on the track?

he used to be...I am now :-)

Bruce was my mentor for a few tracks when I was new to the game, and that was not that long ago...but now my skills are catching up with my car and I am getting fast ;-)

That was a killer ride Damian. Definitely some serious motivation to get my arse in gear and get some seat time.

What that doesn't show was how stubborn the Z owner was as we were on him for a while and he wouldn't budge. They flagged him for it. We were not on the GT for long and they flagged him too. :D Those are potent cars with the right equipment and Damian behind the wheel. :icon_tup:

Excellent driving and nice over takes. What was your top/avg speed through the track?

Tim Benton 12-27-05 11:26 PM

Another great vid, thanks Damian. Seems like the Cobra R seemed floaty or was it just the way the camera picked up the bounces from the track?

dunno, i dont look at speedo,... i really only care about laptimes, not speed.....the joliet tracks are smaller, so im guessing 130-140 and the end of the main straights...at RoadAmerica, BIR, and VIR I can get up to 150-160 top speed.

hey tim, no, Bruce's cobra R is not floaty at all, has major suspension work done, its an impressive track monster... we swapped cars once, its hooks up just fine :-) very tight...just a bit heavy for my taste :-)

Damn that's nice. Way to represent MN

DamonB 12-28-05 07:57 AM

On most of the sharper turns it looks like you turn in very abruptly; snapping the front of the car in hard rather than bending it in. The vid just make it look that way?

I like my rotary but them v-8 engines with straight pipes always sound mean :)

gcthree 12-28-05 08:42 AM

Now if the Cobra driver wasn't continually early apex'ing, and completely missing apexes at times, maybe he'd carry more speed through the turns. Nice lines, Damian....'cept for that early apex that launched you into the weeds.....

damian 12-28-05 09:49 AM

ill try to get the tape from him and make a split screen with my incar footage of the same session :-)

lovintha7 12-28-05 10:23 AM

Nice video. I was at that same track this past summer. Very nice track, but the people who run it are assholes. They were throwing a fit because of the noise the cars were throwing off. If you invite a racing series to your track, expect that they're going to be loud. Not to mention that the Nextel Cup track, flat dirt track (where open piped harley's race), and the NHRA sanctioned track are all within a 3 mile radius.
