Video from this weekend's Midwest NASA races. I battled Ian Carpenter all weekend. I got pole both days but by only 0.04 and 0.03. Ian and I raced nose to tail, door to door both days. We were never seperated by more than 2 car lengths the entire weekend.

However, as you will see in the video, I pulled the boneheaded move of the year and was DSQ'ed from Saturday's race. Sunday's race was completely clean and we exchanged the lead at least 5 times before Ian beat me over the finish line by a front fender.

In case you want to know more about the incident (punt) go to the other thread at: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=983403

Hats off to Ian Carpenter for his win Sunday and also hats off to his teammate Andrew Zimmermann for his win on Saturday.

As always "right click" or my bandwidth will get u up.

Nice video. Music was good but didn't drown out the engine. Hard fought racing.

Nice close racing. Hope i have something like that myself this weekend. Except the crashing and DQ part.

Great Racing John, were there any other cars on the track

Noticed a Diasio, how fast are those things?

Mike

 

Mike,

It's a pretty fast car in theory (1000 pounds 150 hp) but the only people I see racing them or tracking them putz around the track.

The two that were at Beaverun were running in the 1:06 range which is slower than H1 cars. A Diasio should lap Beaverun in under a minute with ease. I hung with the two cars through the corners but then they would blast away down the straight.

I have yet to see one raced or driven fast. The fastest one at Summit in SCCA turned 1;22 and 1;21 which is slow when you consider the SPec Racer Ford track record is a 1:24 flat and that car weighs 700 pounds more and has 45 less hp.

It's a cool looking car and a good bang for the buck but you got no one to race with.

Regards,

Jon

PS: You commin' to Summit in two weeks?

and H2

FWIW, Todd mentioned that driven well they should be lapping Beaverun around the 1.01-1.02 range.

Nice vid. I'm jealous.

Jason....to me you're just an H1 car in disguise

 

Awesome video - you guys lap the Beaver FAST!

 

Nice Video.

But you really need a new seat. I can't believe how much you are bouncing around. You'd be surprised at how much better it will be driving with a good seat.

 

that track is SUPER bumpy now, especially when compared to last year. you can even see on the track surface where they have tried grinding it down in several places; i guess it buckled up during the summer....

Its the track, the surface down the back straight is pretty bad.
