Thumbs up RoadAmerica - April 2004 Videos and Pics

I will not have time to edit a sexy video of the footage for a while, but I have some raw footage online and a bunch of video frame captures also.

Here is the link to the videos:

Nice vids. Not a very technical track but a fun hp track. Loved the "kink" at RA. Keep the vids coming.

Meanwhile, you should probably put a post up in the "race car tech" section.

i wish i could access the videos from this stupid on campus computer. The pics look pretty good. Nice car. If it wasnt for that wing being functional for what you do with it, i would tell you to ditch it quickly.

howard coleman
hey howard...ill be back there in october.

>>what were yr approx lap times?

I kept forgetting to turn the timer on so i only got my fist session...I was around 2:55-2:53 mark. Not very fast, but concidering it was my first time in that car and on that track (at speed) I was happy to break the 3 min mark (hahaha).... but I dunno what my times were by the end of the weekend but im sure i was a bit faster after i figured the car and the track out. I wasnt pushing the car at all, just focused on refining my line.

>>did you beat everything you ran with?

yes :-) I went in the middle group since it was new car/track for me, but i should have went right to the advanced group...I did do a lot of passing :-) and i will have videos of the full sessions posted somtime.

What club did you do this with? When is the next event and what kind of cost. I am looking to do a track day there, but havn't found any clubs that are doing them.

Nice video BTW

Looked like you had a lot of fun. It was nice to see you overtake those cars with ease. Thanks for sharing.
