Not sure how many of you know about the ARRC, it's a huge end-of-the-season race at Road Atlanta every year. Anyway this vid is some in-car footage of me driving the car in my sig during the PRO-IT race at the ARRC. It's kinda fun, there is a record setting lap in there too.
50 meg and about 15 min long (rated PG-13 for language ):

enjoy!

Almost forgot, thanks to ReSpeed for making my car go so fast

 

i thought the car wrecked, or atleast it looked like it was in the aug 05 GRM mag

 

Nice driving man, too bad it ended like that.
what happend?

 

man that looks fun! where do i sign up?!

 

It did, I put it back together

 

Broke the Right axle halfshaft where the bearing and the collar meet. I'm pretty damn lucky the wheel didn't come off. I'll have to get a pic of tha axle, It's pretty unbelievable.

 

 

So close!

God damn fool that was being an *** needs a whoopin.

 

question... on your site. that lmp2 car 20b built by speedsource is a renisis 20b correct? because damn! 450hp after the restrictor! If it is a renisis, what kinda torque difference are they seeing compared to a standard 20b PP

 

PS can i be your new best friend

 

I don't think I can say much about the engine, but let's just say "renesis based" is not exactly the words i would choose to describe the engine. I would use them to describe the ignition coils, but that's about it. That was the first motor in the car, as of now there have been 3 different motors by 3 different builders. I'm not sure of the exact HP numbers but it was far from 450 (at least with the original restrictor) .

 

Looking good! how many hours were on the axle, and bearing?

What respeed parts are you using?

Man, I so badly wanna watch my good buddy Russ' video, but it's sync'd up worse than an NBC NASCAR broadcast (at least on my computer).

Damn Bill Gates.

 

man, it really goes when u hit the NAWZZZ button!! and you sHiFt mAd qUicK yO

i liked the record lap, nice driving...but your camera equipment needs some work
i berely made myself watch the video
if not a secret how much power does the car have at the wheels and what does it weight with you in it?

 

good ****** job on the race too bad on the axel! WOOT!

 

ReSpeed parts? Right now they did my panhard bar and some trick suspension bushings (that are being tested will be for sale soon!).

I have no idea how many hours were on the axle, but there were ALOT. It has been in that car ever since Ive owned it, but I wouldn't expect it to need to be replaced. I'm almost positive it broke due to that hit i had a few laps earlier, if you look closely you can see where it broke halfway then worked the rest of the way out over a few laps. The bearing was relatively new (less then one season).

make sure you have the xvid codec if you're having problems watching it, http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

I realize my camcorder sucks *****. It's entire life has been spent inside of a race car, so the stuff inside is pretty shaken up. When this one dies I'll get one of those solid state PVR's and see if that helps any.

I'm not sure on the HP, this was a brand new motor that I never got tuned right at the track. My old motor made about 110 to the wheels, I assume this one was making at least 115, probably 120 once I take it to the dyno to sort everything out. The car weights 2380 lbs with no fuel and me in it, that's with about 75 lbs of ballast (2380 is the minimum weight).

 

nice! I'd be interested in seeing the panhard bar; I thought you built your own?
My ITA car (no it7 here) has spherical bearings everywhere except the front control arms....

Marcus

 

well, I did do my own panhard, then I ripped the axle tube in half an they did the replacement on the new axle. it's a bit nicer then mine to say the least.

 

The next thing Russ will be testing for us.

Thanks for the tip on the video download - Works great now.
