Post your Expo 9 Vids.


Here was my first one. I didn't even bother to edit it.

In the Tech Line. Getting cars inspected and registered when we got there.

This was my first time on this track. 1st day, 1st session looking backwards.

Unfortunately for me. This cam's batteries ran out right about the time that Wai in the Spoon caR and myself had a great 3 or 4 lap battle. A few times I could see his helmeted face under my spoiler, he was so close. But it didn't get caught on tape as I had hoped. Wai, we'll have to do it again.

 

Here's another. After I had to change batteries while driving in the Parade Lap.

The End of the Parade Lap.

Sure you don't want to pull video that has license plates in it?

 

there will be so many pictures floating around with plates, that I don't think these vids will be a big deal....

also the owners that were worried about plates were removing them while at the event or covering them up, I saw a few

 

And the people posting pics can take a few minutes to edit plates out.

Since when has the attitude about plates become so casual here?

 

some will edit and some won't..... it's like that every year, if someone is that worried they really should think about blocking their plates or taking them off.

not defending anyone or anything, but some people took 500+ pics, a few minutes of editing? more like hours

 

Ahhh that's too bad!
I think I remember that session. I came out in the middle of the session, and pointed you by. Then I picked up some speed and caught back up.

Super awesome time and nice meeting you Shawn.

 

<--- Came to the track with a dead cam battery, and forgot the charger Would've had some nice footage on Tuesday, and could've put up the Tart slinging my POS around

 

is there a picture thread up yet?

 

To quote Blazing Saddles:

"We ain't found ****!"

In other words, no, there isn't a pic thread yet TONS of pics were taken though, I think it just needs a little more time.

 

I thought about it. I was suprised at how many plates where showing. I was handing out tape to anyone who wanted it to cover up.

If any owner would like me take it down I would respect that but shame on you for not thinking about it sooner and being proactive instead of reactive about it.

 

That was the one. That was a trip highlight for me for sure. I really thought I had the tape of the Decade on that run with you tailing me with your HIDs on, but oh well. Live and learn I guess.

I think your daughter "flubbering" (is that a word? ) her lips at the banquet was hillarious. She was so cute.

 

Here's another.

I was walking down to the showers at 6am on monday morn. Its historically my favorite time walk around and check everyone's rides out.

Featuring: Wai, Batouttahell, Hoochn', Ali, Bradstard.

nice videos, i drove the red gsr in int that got slow on the second day because i was on parts store oem replacement pads (yikes), you were quick both days, nice car. that session i was in the maroon 4 door da that shows up at 3:30 in the first video, that thing was a blast to drive. seeing videos makes me want expo 10 already!

 

Thanks! Yeah i was trying to figure out what was all done to that maroon DA! That thing was quick down the back straight!

I know the feeling you had with your brakes, i was having the same. I should have bought some replacement pads, however i figured i would be alright. I was wrong, for most of the sessions i was forced to brake at 4.5 because my pads just weren't biting.... Next year i am coming with fresh pads and rotors, so i can get back into my late braking!

 

it has the poor mans type r (gsr bottom, b16 head). its built, but i don't know specifically what parts. the thing is an absolute blast to drive. i had to baby my car like crazy on the second day because of brakes, i had HPS's the first day that were completely gone after the third session. i figured parts store oem replacements are better then not driving, so i swapped over to those for the second day, and they only lasted me two sessions. i lost brake feel after braking for the back straight so i pitted in and found this.

 

WOW! Mine weren't that bad! That's horrible! Is that the caliper's piston welded to the pad?

 

yea it is. when i got back to the paddock i hopped out and the piston was on fire (green flame). i haven't tried to hard to get them apart because i've already replaced the caliper and it makes a neat paper weight. i dont think it was the pads fault, because the driver's side was ok, with a decent amount of material left. i guess an rsx had a similar issue on day 2 as well. pads definitely aren't suppose to bend and fuse with the piston that's for sure.

 

my pads were done as well. after the 3rd session, the pads were metal to metal. lol. glad i decided to bring some extra's.

 

Damn, I've never seen something like that; Glad nothing else failed
