Re: Autocross video (Pacin'California)
looked pretty good to me. of course, i'm looking through a window 1"x1.5" so i'm squinting pretty good. i'm really surprised the 'cameraman' kept it pointed toward the track. most of the videos i've seen it's pointing to the passenger side mirror or A/C vent!
i have a couple of auto-x videos that i like but i have no way of transfering it to computer. even a couple really nice spins. all too common for me :D
good job steve! :thumbs:

:cool: But I imagine that must put a lot of strain on the car. Being that mines 27 years old I don't think I'll be doing that anytime soon, and the fact that there is no place here in Ontario that I know of that you can Auto-cross.

Re: Autocross video (myisa69)
Where is that Steve ? Please give me some informations . My car is a vert. , is it OK for autocross ?. Thanks :cheers:
Clutchdust- That's because you're probably pulling turns at close to a G! It also helps if your passengers are used to high speed driving, but at those kind of forces I don't know how many people can hold a camera steady without holding on to something. This was the 4th lap, and he had gotten used to holding the camera while riding.
Dwayne- Supposedly, autocross only puts a major strain on the tires and brakes. Still, it is definitely a lot more force than your car would be used to. My car is 25 though and did just fine. :)

BTW, this is a very hard braking 90 degree corner from about 65mph, to the finish line

:thumbs: to the Camaro driver --- Way to go !!
as far as your run, I don't hear any engine noise ???? I hear squealing and comments from the co-pilot, but no engine.
Time to either put in a bigger motor or cut the exhuast off :D
