Crappy sound, I forgot the memory card for my Chase Cam setup so I used a DVR and camera setup thats just o.k.
This was in the parking lot of the Bank Atlantic Center in Ft. Lauderdale. There was a lot of elevation change on the property and there were dips... rises.. I am not sure what to call them, but, on my 1st run I charged at one way too fast and was airborn for a split second, enough to clobber some cones. I am getting better with the car, pushing it harder but still not enough. Hopefully by the next event I will be pushing her more, I am only a tick off TTOD now with only a split second between us. Actually one of the runs I hit a cone, the one with the side mount camera, and that run, if clean would have won the X-Class I was running in. Here is the 1st run and my shocking surprise that I could not go that fast over the humps. Then I took the event coordinator in my car for a couple of runs, he drives a GT3 and wanted to get a look at the course, this, of course helped him to set TTOD. LOL!! All in good fun, he is a really cool guy. Side cam, this was my fastest run and I cream a cone at the beginning. I scream in the car if I did not have this crappy sound it would have been funnier. After I got home, I looked my my baby in the drive, she looked happy from the fun day. I snapped a pic of her because for whatever reason it looked really good at this angle. https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...7/DSC_0357.jpg Thought you would get a kick out of this, 4 slicks, floor jack, and other assorted tools including a jump box with air pump. https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...3/CIMG3106.jpg https://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y2...3/CIMG3107.jpg |
bad ass ride and you are a good driver!
how does the camera stick to the side of the car? any pics of that? how much faster are your hoosiers than kumho v710's? what size you run? |
Thanks!
I have a couple of different camera layouts, this is a back up setup I am using a Archos DVR with a Viosport lipstick cam intended for Motorcycle use. Viosport offers suction cup mounts for cars and that is how I get the camera on the door. I am running 10"x22-16 Slicks they are good for about 1.5 seconds on a 50 second course over the victoracers. I have tried victoracers (before the 710's came out) and the slicks just kill. So I stick with them. |

WOW, GREAT vids man!
Two questions: 1 - Where did you learn to drive? 2 - What rims are those on your (on the hoosier tires) |
1. Here:
(make sure you watch the video) http://autocross.com/evolution/modules/news/ Seat time is the key in AX and the driver is 80% of the equation, I have seen a guy in a Honda Civic whip a guy in a Porsche GT3 all because its about the driver. 2. The rims were custom made for me 5 years ago the label on the rim says circle racing but IIRC the company that made them no longer carries them. I am still struggling with my car, after a 2 year break it taking me a while to push it to its limits. I am getting closer but I still have a lot to do. |

I was finally able to watch the video, and it looks good. I got my eyes on the Central PA event, hopefully the FC will be ready by then https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif |
Keep your eye out for Ryan Dunn from Jackass he runs in the Central PA SCCA somewhere. Sometimes he brings out his 318i with a turbo M3 motor in it.

Good Job, nice vids. Those are custom rims? God, I love those rims.
|
I've got to get a camera, that was awesome.
