not bad. just long. My ADD kicked in and i only made it half way. Plus I'm not really a fan of "Gorillaz".

cool video.
i would make one suggestion, get yourself a 4 or 5 pt harness set up. you have a habit of steering with your whole upper body(i did the same thing when i first started). from a technique standpoint this is a potential problem as you get teh car going quicker and you have to react faster.
when you swing your upper body back and forth you create a situation where you need to move your arms and whole upper body to correct. the more stuff you have to move, the longer it takes for you to make the move.

overall you look pretty smooth. keep practicing and improving the car. you will find the limits as you push harder and find what points of the car really need the most attention.

Pretty cool. How come the car and stuff was so quiet? Is it the vid or my computer?

On an unrelated note, Tim when did you get a 99?!

this is not a high speed road course. even i barely hit 60 on the fastest courses. 70 was tops, that was only one time, and you just hit it then slam on the brakes. and it was quiet because he has a V6.

Yeah, I havea set of OMP's that have been in my possesion since I was in the 4th grade!! my dad did a job for Kodak, and they brought those NASCAR cars that they cut up so you can sit inside of them to play a racing simulator, and after they got done they wentto toss em and my dad picked them up. But I would love to put them in so i dont have to move arond, cause its a little of the seat being leather and slick cause I concdition them every 3 weeks, and me moving my bodyinto it. and you need to come out there Tim, im sure someone has enough brains at your work to control it for at least a half a day

Exactly, Im taking top end weight off with the T-tops and windows down, and not only is it quiet cause its a V6, but I have the stock exhaust on it, and the wind was blowing into the mic and quiets it.

Anti_Rice_Guy · 09-15-2007, 10:17 AM

Oh I never realized you had a 6. I knew wind noise quiets it but i'm like other than that and the guy talking its dead silent.

EchoMirage · 09-15-2007, 11:34 AM

couldnt let the vids go longer before you chopped them so you can see me directing traffic??

Blacdout96 · 09-15-2007, 11:42 AM

you clearly have not met my co-workers. i have a boss who cries when his wife yells at him on the phone, a woman who can't pick up anything over 15-20lbs without it turning into a huge production, and some kid who thinks it is a cool idea to drink every night and may or may not make it into work on a regular basis.
i will keep an eye on the philly region SCCA winter series schedule and try to make it out.
someplace foff667 has video of me in my 91 RS at an old philly region event in camden. i will have to ask him to scrape it up. great video, you get to watch me blow into the final turn too hard on 4 consecutive runs. lol
