Wow man nice vid!!

 

Thats an awsome vid, keep up the good work!

 

Did you get him? Not long enough man. Your leaving us wanting more. EDIT: nevermind, my realplayer is being a bitch tonight. Only DL 25 secs of fun!

What was your speed into turn 1 behind him? Looked and sounded nice.

Did you check your "help" plugs before you went out this time? That story is making me think about evans this time around.

Nice work again .

 

Great video damian, keep up the awesome work.

 

outstanding.

 

Hey bigisland,

yeah i caught him, after the traffic he let me pass, maybe you didnt get the entire video? try clearing your browser cache and re-downloading the vid

i never look at the speedo, but a passenger said we were doing 155 through turn one!!!

I was actually letting off behind the lambo in one and two, didnt want to cramp him too much :-)

 

thanks fd3s_wanted :-)

 

thanks for the compliemnts guys!!!

ill post 'part 2' tomorrow :-)

 

Damian, your videos are inspirational. I swear my cars going on the track one day

 

hahaha thanks overkill... definetly get on the track someday, it is a lot of fun and you really do become a better driver on the street too ;-)

 

nice. going to track tomorrow and sunday. hope I can find similar car to chase...; ) just wonder how many track event you do every month?

 

Nice video. It's always good to see cars like that being used where they should be, both yours and the Lamborghini.

 

Yep my realplayer is only downloading like 10 -20 secs. I tried some of your other videos. It's the same thing. I'll kick the computer in the morning and it'll work

I was guessing 160 mph into turn1. Very nice!!!

 

YAY! A lamborghini driver with some ***** to actually flog the thing....



O ya thats a pretty nice seven too

 

well, this season i been splurging a bit, but usually i do like 2 a month, but recently it seems like every weekend :-)

 

yep, :-) thats why i got it , to track the heck out of it :-)

 

yeah, if you watch the other BIR vid on my vids page (http://64.158.28.140/MPEG/TwinVision...s_with_dad.mpg), you can see that usually i hit 160 right before the turn, touch the brakes and go into the turn at 140, ... but the car felt really good on wednesday and i was in a rythm, so we were flyin in turn one...the 155 that the passenger said he caught on one of the laps dosnt surprise me, but does scare the sh_t outa me :-) (hehehe)

 

hahah :-)

yeah, i gave it up to the lambo driver when I met him in the pits, I gave him crazy props for tracking it.

 

Sweet damian!

 

damian,

first off sweet video as ALWAYS!!!! but i got some questions;

1. is you car an AT?
2. was that a mita holding you and the lamo up? who let that guy in the same race?
3. why didnt you take the lambo in turn 2 or 3?

great video again. thanks for letting us watch!!!!!

 

Encosiderate,

It's definitely not an auto.

Damian, just a small criticism: It looks like you tend to be "yanky" with the steering wheel at times - i.e. waiting longer until turn-in, but turning-in more abruptly as opposed to wide and linear. While the former is more "fun," the latter is less dangerous.

 

Damian is channeling Fernando Alonso

 

i believe the answers are because it's not a race, it's an open track session for people to just have fun, and the reason he couldn't just pass the lambo earlier was the same as the miata, restricted passing areas.

 

Nice video as usual. I wish I got to beat on cars like that near me. When I _do_ see them, it's always on the street and they're being driven by 75 year old men who barely manage the speed limit.
