RoadAmerica - October Video

Me again with another video from a previous RA event. This is a fun one, kinda long and a big file (50 meg) but worth it :-)

Its a split screen of me and my track dawg Bruce (drives a cobra R) having some fun terrorizing the field and swapping spots ;-)

Thumbs up

It looks like you finally hooked up a microphone to the camera....sounds way better than all the air noise in your previous videos. I used to mount my computer mic in the engine compartment with a few papertowels wrapped around it and taped up....it sounded real cool when I was up in the mountains with my front bumper mount cam.

What kind of tires do you run, and what is your alignment specs?? i just aligned my car today because I am doing my first track day at Little Talladega GP this Fri.

Mine is -1.2 R camber +.12 ea. R toe

+5.3 F caster

-1.8 F camber +.20 total F toe

I drive the car on the street regularly and the only adjustment out of spec is the Front camber.


Nice videos BTW! =)

Those two engines sound awesome together. Stang for the bass, turbos, rotors and blow off for treble.

nope, did not hook up a mic, just set the electronic windscreen and taped a piece of foam over the cam mic.

I used to run kumo ecstas (285/30/18) and now run used dunlop gt race tires....a bit narrower but more grip.

alignment is somthing like -1.5 front and -.5 rear., rest is realtivly neutral

Man I wish Barbers would do open track days, instead of making you pay $22000 to rent the track

when you was following the gt3, were your tires starting to give out or were you just running a little hot into the turns?
