Vid from Sears Point last month
 
Sorry it took so long guys :) Here's video from Sears back in May running the NASCAR configuration (with the chute).

RX-Heven with his white 'vert and I have a great run through the back section about halfway though.

Enjoy!

Great video Paul, when is your next track event?

RX-Heven 07-03-03 04:36 PM

Cool vid. I could really hear how much my slow vert was holding you up out of 7. Where is the rollover?
Did you get your car back together for the event last weekend?

87GTR 07-23-03 09:23 PM

What was your lap time?

Silkworm 08-15-03 11:15 PM

Hey, sorry I forgot your name :) Laptimes were in the high 1:30s low 40s..

Normally I run about a 2:05, working on improving that..

THANKS FOR THE VID
 
Thank you for the video. Please play the upper half sometime.;)

Silkworm 08-16-03 01:39 AM

yeah yeah, funny guy..

Come on out to Buttonwillow in October, seeing it in person is so much better :)

PaulC

Chronos 08-16-03 01:57 AM

October ehh? I might just take you up on that offer...when exactly? Is there a schedule of times you can go there?? It'll be my first time on the track.

Silkworm 08-16-03 10:47 AM

It's October 18-19th, sign up at www.nasaproracing.com

PaulC

Chronos 08-17-03 04:19 PM

Will do, thanks a lot Paul, see you there!

EDIT: tried to register but there's a few options, which do I sign up for...I'll be running a slightly modded FD and my friend will have a slightly modded E36 M3. Thanks!

Silkworm 08-17-03 06:01 PM

I'd sign up for HPDE Group 1, you'll want an instructor for sure if this is your first few times out on track.

Chronos 08-17-03 07:16 PM

Thanks for the advice Paul. I read the explination of the different Groups and I'm not sure if I'd be too happy in Group 1 though...one thing I read that I didn't like was the lead and follow thing and slow pace. I'm going to want to drive my car as fast as I feel confortable, not the instructor, and ESPECIALLY not the lead car! I had to do that lead and follow shit in a Mustang Cobra at Bon Bondurant school of high performance driving and it sucked ass! Do you think I should still go for the Group 1 or do you think it might be a bit frustrating for me??

Silkworm 08-23-03 11:46 AM

Hey Chronos,

Typically here in Norcal they run half of group 1 and half of group 2 together in one session, and the other halves in another session. So moving to group 2 isn't a lot different, except no instructor.

It's not going to be anything like Bondurant where you're limited to speeds or anything, and if you find that you're doing really well, you can request a group change from your group's lead instructor.

I'd go with group 1 since you really want an instructor your first time at the track.

PaulC

Chronos 08-23-03 01:22 PM

Allright, I'll go ahead and sign up for group 1. I'm trying to get about 3 or 4 other people to come out and play too; one of them has a 2250lb FD with fully built and tuned 20B :eek: Hopefully we'll all make it out there!

Thanks again!

87GTR 08-29-03 11:28 PM

Pual
