Vid: RX7 and new Cobra full session at Road America
This is the video some of you have already seen in a smaller version. A friend and I (Bruce) went out and played around during the 1st Sunday session at Road America in October. I had planned to make a more produced version, but I don't have time, so I figured I'd post this instead.
70 megs, so be prepared for all you on slow connections.
I have it hosted at my 93fd page: http://www.93fd.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=4772
But I would recommend right-clicking and saving this link locally to view.

Kinda surprised at how easily that C6 Z06 got passed. Not saying you guys weren't going fast, but i have a feeling the driver wasn't quite up to par with the car, or was just going slow. Those things are absolute MONSTER'S.
Took a little while to get the pass from the Miata there around 12 min mark. Couldn't fig. out what the hold up was. Nice flame there shortly after too.
Nice and FAST around 14:50 with the long turn in the FD!
Overall nice vid---stopped at 18mins for me (my internet sucks)
Guessing that was a GT500? Mustang you were on the track with. Handled a lot better than i thought it would, those are big cars.

Did you try to watch it on the page or download it to your machine?

Bruce's other car is a well prepared 2000 Cobra R. That car is less HP, but substantially faster on the track. I think that one is down to 3200 pounds which helps.

1) Figured it out, stupid browser selection. Can't do it properly with Mozilla, saves it as "All Files". Def. Works with IE
2) Yeah, just figured that out. Reading through some old posts.

We were in group 'B', (there was A,B,C,D) so we had some fun beating dudes up out there. It's all in fun though, we know a bunch of the people in all the groups.

The download keeps freezing for me a little less than haldf way through. Happens both when I save target as or try to watch the first link.
Usually when that happens I can cancel the download and start again and it picks up where it froze but in this case it always starts over from scratch.

Yeah, realized that it's doing the same thing for me. Had it working properly (downloading) when using IE, but it stopped and does exactly what you describe.

I believe it was over 400 whp, had 14" brakes in front, 13" in back, was about 2" off the ground, full racing slicks, full cage/fire system etc. etc. It was a very very nice car. The guy had his mechanic towing it around the country and then he was flying in on weekends to run. I think he went through a couple sets of tires in one weekend. He was running both A and B group to get more track time.
Damian talked to the guy more, apparently he was pretty nice as well.
He appeared out of nowhere for me, we were passing that group and I was waiting for Bruce to get through and suddenly he was in my rear view. I first saw him as I entered for turn one.
I decided I'd let him pass after 3 and see if I could stay with him for a couple turns. He didn't really pull on me too much, but he didn't have to brake as early as I did (which is different, I try to brake later than everyone) and his cornering speed was significantly higher. Plus after 2 turns I had cooked my brakes. I thought I was going to get the benefit of traffic in 8 and catch up, but he passed the guy in the short straight and was gone, since I had to go slow behind the guy for the entire 20+ second carousel. So I waited for Bruce and let my brakes cool. Turns out that was the last lap of the session anyway.
I think damian could have stayed with the guy if he really tried hard, because he was new to the track, once he had more experience the car was going to be able to pull some serious times well down into the 2:20's.
