I sure hope they get the timing thing right.... ALOT of pissed folks down here in miami.... worst part is, they posted those junk numbers... not a good start however, I hear the Jan. will have timing lights...
I'll be their for sure... At what mph (more or less) did you shift out of 4th? I usually stretch 4th to 164mph.

Here is a video of my 168 mph (HUD)pass. I wont get into what I thought of how the event was run... as I have vented it already and am feeling better now. I will just say the radar gun was WAY off!! My best pass was 171 mph (HUD). I know my HUD reads if anything 2 mph low at 70 mph since I put the 345/30 Nitto Invos on... So I am thinking the HUD was close to accurate.... Car is all stock.

EDIT
For some reason the quality of the video has gone down???? Does You Tube lower the quality with the number of views? When I posted it, it was available in HD.... Now it looks all grainy and the sound has a crackle in it too???

Thanks... I actually think the 1-2 could have been better... I think it activated the torque management. This event was the 1st time I ever did a quick 4-5 shift.... So room for improvement there too. But overall I was pleased with my passes!
Was there actually a radar gun there? There are a few of us that think they might have been guessing the speed....lol
You wouldn't believe the set up...lol I winged it together the night before the race. I found an old 6 mp camera that was small enough to fit into my G-Tech Pro bracket with windshield mount. Then I mounted it on the back window facing forward.... It works great!!!!
You can see it in the back window of this pic if you look...
To be honest I didn't notice. I was watching the tach. It was between 6.9k and 7k when I shifted....
Thanks

Good runs. But you should use GPS instead of your speedo. The speedo way up there can be off by a few MPH. That and the Texas Mile has always been outstanding as far as their times go. Don't understand why yours wasn't accurate!
EDIT: NEVERMIND...just put together that you were not at the Texas Mile.

You came to the Texas mile Gary? Man, I started to show up but decided to stay back while Patrick and the gang represented for support.
Besides, I do the Texas mile every time I drive home when I can
Thanks,
Carlos
