Re: 2013 Road Race video thread.
Cool, thanks for the info! How many H2 cars were there? Really looking forward to racing in H2 but I'm still a year+ out. I was only running low 19's at Lightning last month so I need to work on my line before I get into W2W.

Re: 2013 Road Race video thread.
Here's the local affiliate TV broadcast of our races at Spokane County Raceways. It's kind of neat to hear my name mentioned on a TV broadcast. #10 CRX.
BTW: they say the Sentra got by me early when in reality I started in the back.
They do focus on the car at the front a lot though but oh well.

Re: 2013 Road Race video thread.
last points race of theb year at atlantic motorsports park in nova scotia.
We cut 70LBS out of the car, changed the suspention some more. Finally feeling better. Turns great and wears tires flat. First time on Hoosier R6 tires. was a blast. Turned my fastest lap. 1:17.505 about halfway through this race. First time running hard like this. Ended up bumping the yellow BMW a few times out of 2 and the camero out of 3 on the first lap.(he lifted off the throttle for some reason, he had a little oil problem on lap 2.) Last lap I got lucky with traffic and passed for second. He spun coming out of 2. You can see him gpo off track in my mirrior. I started down the inside of him, but back out as he came over. Turns out we were bumper to bumper when i back off. he had green on both rear corners. lol. I didnt want to touch him but I was tring very hard to keep up.
here part 1.
heres part 2

Re: 2013 Road Race video thread.
I watched some of your Summit P. & NJ Lightning vids, it's not just a question
of you being fast, because there are plenty of "fast guys"; It's that you "Make"
the race happen. As you know, this is a mix of skill & aggressiveness, which you
have an abundance of.
Keep it up.
PS, you make me want to build a similar race car just so I could take you on.

Re: 2013 Road Race video thread.
Track: Sebring
Car:BMW 540
Sanc. Body: chumpcar
Notes: turn 17 has become insanely bumpy. The race line was very different this year as an outside-in line proved to be far smoother. There were many cars that stuffed it into the outside wall when the car became unsettled. The outside wall has been moved and now is an insane bottle neck forcing outside traffic trying to re join into the apex. I predict the wall gets moved back out before the 12 hours of Sebring or there will be protests.
The pass on the white Malibu is the new line for me. On the 2nd video lap I get caught looking in my mirror at our 2nd car and almost collect the outside wall.

Re: 2013 Road Race video thread.
saturday's race. my used tires finally caught up to me. practice was great, qualifying the tires tanked. so in a last ditch effort, i put the last 'good' tire i had in the left front and hoped for the best. well, that was a mistake. the handling went to ****, the braking went to **** and the lap times tanked. THEN somehow, my radiator cap came loose and the car started to get hot. thus ending my race. (but i won on sunday

Car:k20 EG
Track: Homestead (Rolex config)
Event: Homestead 200
Tires: Nt-01's
This was my first race with FARA. FARA is a South Florida group that draws Teams from South America, Carribean, and even some local Pro's. The class rules are very open. My car for example 1.9-2.5 liter, do what you want. Tube frames, aero, gears box..etc.
Day 1- sprint races. I only ran 1 as I had a leak in the intake manifold. I was slinging fuel in practice so I started the race with just over a half tank, I was concerned with getting black flagged. I drove it up to 3rd and was on a decent charge when I start running out of fuel. I spent a good part of the race against a Jim Dentici car- tubular space frame, 1600 lbs, seat in the middle, 4 coilovers on the front end, B18 type R. It's the white older integra looking car with rainbow stripe. I worked past him then over cooked my tires and gave up the position.
Day 2- really sucked. Did the 200mi enduro, was running first in class after driving up from the back. At 1hour 10 min my front left wheel came off. It was a wild ride but no wall contact. The lugs backed off. Set fast lap for the day.
