Talking New Racing Video !!!

Ok ladies and gentlemen, back by popular demand (the season just started again) I have a decent little clip of the weekend (01/28/06) at Willow Springs Raceway. This clip is rather large and slow to download, but I think it's well worth it...

This is a smaller version and quicker DL

I did a rush job on it and the audio seems to be a bit out of sync after the first few seconds, after I inserted the track map. I apologize for the excessive wind noise, the microphone on my camera seems to get buffeted by the air coming into the car when the windows are down. I'm a cameraman not a soundman... LOL

As far as the rest of the info I would like to share, Willow Springs (big track) was the first track I ran when the car had 1,100 miles on it and was completely stock, two years ago... I wanted to see what the "off the boat" car would do and how, or, if I needed to modify it.

With the OEM set-up two years ago, my best time was 1:58:04 and a top speed on the front straightaway of 91 mph. This past Saturday I logged a best lap of 1:45:09 with a top speed of 108 mph on the front straight and 114 on the back side between turn 6 and 8.

The car is noticably faster now. Sixth gear is reached at the flaggers stand on the front straightaway which is 2,400' or 1/2 mile. I'm looking forward to having it dyno'd next Saturday. I'm sure this is a combo of the intakes, chip, and exhaust mods. I'm really impressed with the difference.
