I'll type up a longer post about winter upgrades and projects in the upcoming weeks, but
My buddy John who was in the left lane next to me for my second pass at Island two weeks ago had his dash cam rolling. Since his clutch had issues and he stalled on the line, his in car video shows the beginning of my pass. It is not of great quality, but when I watched it in super slow motion, I was curious about what I saw...
...This pass was where I went to the non-progressive 150 nitrous shot coming in at 2400 rpms, so almost out of the hole. It zipped the tires loose and I got off the throttle and nitrous for an instant, and then got back on the throttle . You can see this in the previously posted (above) datalog for pass #2 and hear/see the car get loose in the pass 2 youtube video of my in-car footage. But what it looks like from his footage, is that when I got back on the throttle, it might have just slightly yanked the front driver's side wheel up an inch in the air?!?!?!? Part of me thinks its an optical illusion, but I do remember that pass and how it boogied when I got back on the throttle after peddling it. So, I wonder if this can calm my brain about thinking this car will never lift a tire. Maybe it will, maybe this time it did get a wheel up, and I didn't realize it until freeze-framing his video. Interesting.
