What a weekend! The races were great! Thanks to Andy(8400-RPM) for crewing for me, and thanks to Willard for helping me get the camera mount in the car when I was running out of time before the race. My biggest problem this weekend was wheel balance, as I kept losing my stick on wheel weights, when the adhesive melted under extreme temps... and the duct tape I was using for safety was melting as well... so I spent the time between races rotating tires, re-taping weights, and re-adjusting tire pressures. Over-all it was a lot of fun, and it was really great to be out there racing with such a great group of guys, with great track-etiquette. Hats off to all the workers who kept us safe, and all the NASA crew who made this series possible, and of course to our founding fathers, Scott and Karl.

Now, here's a few videos from Sunday's Race:

I go into Turn 1 a little too hot after a pass, and decide to use a little dirt:

why are those cars soo much faster then the itr.. i see alot of people passin the R

 

The Type R in general is not the fastest car out there, by any means.

Jason-
who will "see a lot of people passin' his R" next month

 

God.. that stuff is unreal. Any of you HC guys, or just road course ppl point me in the right direction to start? Never been to any..

 

Where are you from? The Challenge is sactioned by NASA...

http://www.nasaproracing.com is the headquarters, while http://www.nasaracing.net is our region (NASA-VA)

 

awesome! i wish i could do that..

 

why are those cars soo much faster then the itr.. i see alot of people passin the


ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

 

I tried to be more polite in my response

 

What did you place in this race? How many cars?


-Ben, who is jealous and thinking maybe he should have bought that old '91 Civic SI last week when he had the chance.

 

Qualified 14th out of 21, and finished 11th.

 

nice! can you post up any bigger vids? like 2-3 laps around the track in one vid? or longer?

 

PC resources and file size make longer vids undesirable... especially to dial up users... could be done, but I really just wanted to show a few smaller clips with some action. Remember, when we race at Lowe's Motor Speedway (Sept. 7-8), spectators will be able to see the whole track at once.

 

how many laps do you do in each race?

 

Very nice. Definately makes me wish I had a HB/CRX or spare Teg to "have some fun" in...


Jason

 

cause on the track everyone rolls an ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

power to weight ratio they are not the fastest out there!!!

 

20 Laps.

Thanks Jason.. it's a blast!

 

Bah, talk is cheap biotch!
