OK, got the first two runs uploaded, internet crapped out so I won't get the video of my fourth run up till I get home from work.

Run 1, making sure the car is running right and that I know the course.


Run 2, trying to push the car more than the first run. Should point out that those squealing tires are not a result of the infamous Kappa understeer problem rearing it's ugly head. No, that was actually oversteer...

Now for a performance alignment, I didn't to get a chance to get it done before this event, the front was pushing bad. I suppose some better tires would help this also.

John, thanks for taking the time to film, edit & post the video's. Great work!  :thumbs:

I like the last run on Vimeo also.  Just have to wait until they process it to watch.

I agree with spartan.  The last run was the best and smoothest of the three.  So often the case, familiarity after two runs breeds confidence and you let it all hang out right on the edge in the third run and the confidence showed.  The camera angle I thought was superb. :thumbs:  :yay:

Thanks GXPinKC, I almost missed a cone before the first 180 turn around on my second run. I wasn't looking ahead or in the right place & had to check up real hard to get around it. We'll see how I do this weekend, the course is going to be much faster & require accurately looking far ahead for the proper gate/cone.

Joe thanks for the use of your camera & mount, also for taking the time to edit & post the videos. great job!  :thumbs:

2kwk4u, all 4 runs very consistent and smooth.  Run 4 very solid at 49.516, to bad about that cone.  Looks like you were having a blast out there!

Thanks.  I had 2 off-course, though.  The worst part is that they were my last two.  I found the course for 2 runs, then lost it.  Gotta do better about that.
