Hey, some of you might remember the vids I used to post here, before Youtube became all the rage

These vids aren't polished, mostly because I'm still getting used to iMovie, but hey, here you go.


So this first vid is a requested one by the driver of the 00 car, I told him I'd up load this last year, sorry, just got around to it We're on our outlap in group 3 on cold tires, and we both get a little frisky coming out of 7 into 6. We're doing Thunderhill in reverse.

HTML Code:
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ck-MBqZUhlw&hl=en&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ck-MBqZUhlw&hl=en&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Not sure if that link worked so if it didn't go here

So here's a few more while I work on something a bit grander.

Turn 5 backwards

Engine died, locked up and locked the rear tires going into turn 11 at Sears Point

And a fun lap and quarter at Thunderhill in 2005 during a qualifying session.

Paul, is it your porting or the clutch causing the motor to bog at the end of each upshift? There is this odd rpm drop when you're getting back on the gas during an upshift.....?

NICE vids!! Your motor going away at Sears must have been a heart stopper!

I'm going to miss NASA's "Lllihrednuth" in May but I'm hoping to get into the one in October.

Engine's pretty much always done that, some gears I get a bit of a baaaa..bubaaaaa as I upshift. Probably just slow feet

What's concerning me, and you can't really hear in the vids, is lately I'm picking up some kind of vibration bbbssssstttt sound just as I pass 7K rpm in most gears

Oh yeah Paul, that was pretty freaking scary when the motor locked up on me!
