Default 2 more passes on video...

Here are 2 more passes on video from the Famosa track day yesterday.

They are not my best, but these were caught on video.

The first pass is interesting since we both ran 11.8, but I went 131 and he went 117 MPH.The second one is me getting caught sleeping at the line, then spinning hard in first, before I get going.
enjoy,

JB

Nice runs still without romping on her too bad.
That second run looks like me at Atco a few weeks back when I learned what a pro tree was. Oops.
I was expecting 3 yellow lights and then a green. The 3 yellows lit simultaneously and then when the green flashed, I was staring at it like a deer in the headlights! I think my RT was like a full second...
Then I proceeded to spin my lugnuts off through the first 3 gears on my "no drag flats" before catching in 4th. Still trapped 116 with a 2.4 sec 60' !
Cool vids though.
