ASR Open Track Day 04.19.08 video

[UofACATS]

Here's a little video from Arroyo Seco Raceway where I run. Just an open track day. Here I am running CW for the first time. I discovered I really need multiple outings to decipher the track. A couple corners had me confused all day. Nearing the end of the video, I start to fuel starve, you'll hear it. I was running wastegate only, about 13.5psi.


Video Notes after you watch:

I got sideways there, full counterlock, and a little excited. Full shot of adrenaline, I was absolutely sure I was dead..


Passing with point-by only.

Thanks for sharing...love the battle cry. Looks like a pretty cool track. There's nothing more frustrating than waiting behind someone who's not paying attention to there rear view mirrors. When I used to run in PDA's Green and White group, it would happen all the time. If you find you're alot faster than the rest of the group, pit in and ask to be sent back out in less traffic.

The corner makes me every time I watch.. I love it

at the "wooo" also, ahha. no voices for 5 minutes and then the scream ahahah.

Looked like a fun time with little traffic except for that one guy.

awesome. great to see you made it out.

IMO, i like more traffic, and love to tailgate others and make them point me by. and if i cant catch them, they must be doing something right so i take note of their line and try it to see if it improves my lap time.

Great job!

I see that your running a 35r (dsmlink). How you like it?

My profile is current. If you're referring to the 3065, I LOVE it.

Thanks for the comments!

Usually I like a little traffic as well, but like I mentioned I was running the course "backwards" and felt like I was in learning all day, not a bad thing but I never got as confident as running CCW. So, little traffic was a blessing. The next outing (should I be fortunate enough) is later this month. It's a "Time Attack," day, so there will be plenty of cars. Should be more interesting video with passing, and hopefully a point-by or two.
