Video #1, Race #2 on Sat every second is worth watching the last lap I backed off because I was reminded that Ray was out of class and my power steering was acting funny because it was puking all over the belt. So I just brought her home.


If you don't have time to what the whole thing then at least watch from the green flag to the 1st corner.

Great Video!

Love the outside move on the Green! At the 3:32 mark when dirt is thrown up, what happened there? It seems as if the Mustang missed a gear or something, or was he recovering? If only you had known you could have almost skirted right by him. It was at that moment that the 2 cars in front gained some space.

Too bad you couldn't squeeze by as you were clearly faster overall in EVERY corner!

Great driving and staying composed!

Sweet Vid.

Sounded like you were giving some encouragement when he threw the dirt up on you.

Riveting Video!!! Great racing. Fantastic camera......what kind is it, and how much/where did you get it. Damn fast Mustang! Tire warmers;-)

Thanks for posting this, its a great motivator for this coming weekend. That Mustang was closing the door pretty hard on you. His entries were his weakness and your strength but his exits and getting the power down was working for him. But holt crap that Porsche was a rocket!

I give all the credit on the start to my radio guy Shaun, first time on the radio and he nailed the starts, I got burned on the start on my first race ever and have been focused on it since.

The Mustang (Ray Mason) was a little inside and dropped two wheels and then his car kicked sideways so I backed out of it not wanting to jack up both cars, as soon as it look like he had some sort of control I tried to squeeze under him with no prevail.


I was clearly quicker but he had more power & I couldn't overcome that. My goal for the race was just to win my class and bring the car home, but when he got in my sites I figured I really need the practice, so I decided to make him work and I was wondering if I had the ability to keep pressure on for an entire race. This was the first weekend I was driving the car with this set up (entirely new suspension) so learning to drive the car was high on my list of things to do. 3 wins and a track record didn't hurt either.

If you noticed once the white came out I backed off not wanting to risk the car or the win.





I went over to him after the race and said the least you could do is clean my car for not T boning you. Needless to say he didn't, but he did let me by on Sunday's race.

Thanks, it's a Sony DCR-PC9 Mini DV, it's about 7 or 8 years old you can get them on e-bay for a couple hundard bucks

Thanks Shady, I need the practice so when you T1 boys come to play I don't get embarrassed again.

I am going to have to retract that statement I made about Katrina after racing Sunday in Rita and then taking Katrina back out for the last "bonus" session on Sunday Rita is coming into her own, I think I still have a ways to go but Gary and Richard are getting me on the right track, the new suspension is way more stable under braking than the street car.

I really think I just needed to learn how to drive her, I got much better as the weekend progressed but I still need a lot of work.

Ken,

What a great start, and talk about cold tires the first few corners!

Great video, good audio quality (something I always seem to have problems with). Great results for the weekend as well!

Thanks for sharing, and have a good one,
Mike

L98Terror

Nope, but we are slowly getting there. the first battle is gettiung used to the car before I make any changes.

You know it's funny I try not to think about the cold tires/ Brakes because those Hawk DTC are the bomb and Hoosier let's just say I'm confident they will be there for me.

The camera is far enougfh forward so it doesn't get the wind blowing acrossed the mic.

thanks & you're welcome

Great video Ken! It is apparent you are quicker than that guy it is a shame you couldn't find a spot to get by. I kept thinking you would try a Danny move and get him on the inside going into Thunder Valley. Great start!!!!
