Default USTCC Round 1 In-Car Videos

It was a really fun weekend. After a 5 min fuel spill penalty I got 5th, but this is not video of that. I have to say there was some interesting action that happened in front of me but no bent metal. This is selected from 2 hours of video. enjoy!

The most interesting segment I could find, chasing an M3:

I love this new camera angle, because in this car, you can see all three pedals.

I'll be doing this all year. Like my facebook page to plug in to future videos. Thanks!

Good Job Chris...
I was there watching the HC race... only two cars.
I couldnt find you.. the paddock was a mess.
There were people up top of the hill using paddock space up there.

I was wondering why you were so far down...that explains it. You guys were gone by the time that we were done with the 4 hour.

You need to find some way to remove weight, or add in a whole lot more power for that series.

We had a few "idiot" problems in the 4 hour. A cheap Chinese toggle switch failed which caused the ignition ON switch to die...I had to run to Wine Country to get a new(real switch)...then we had the battery die, which was due to someone forgetting to install the nut on the alternator. We discovered this when we were in the process of replacing the alternator. We came in 3rd in class, 25th overall, and 2nd fastest time of the day with a 1:44.7ish in the E46.

Thank you for posting gotocrx. That was a fun video with good commentary. If I had a facebook account I would 'like' it.

Yeah by the time you guys were done, we were at the Vallejo Chevys drinking our sorrows away. By our estimation, that mistake cost us nothing less than the win. The winner finished 61 laps to our 58. Just sitting for 5 minutes is 2.67 laps. When you account for the extra in and out laps to serve the penalty, we lost a minimum of 3.5 laps.

woulda coulda shoulda

Dont worry Chris... mistakes like that are rarely repeated.

Lesson learned.
