Dang... if I would have kept my cool and didn't tack on two cones it would have been a 3 way tie for first.

Hoche - I watched the video Megan shot of that "fantom" cone I swear I hit when you were riding as passenger and every cone was standing behind me. I have absolutely no idea how that happened! Of course, it was still standing, so that's what counts. Also - I have your runs on video (and some stills). I'll let you know when I get them put together.

Pete (black WRX #4) pulled in a 65 during a fun run! Of course, with his Stage Zero his launches kicked my ***. I'm glad we had time for fun runs - the couse definitely got faster/stickier for 3rd and 4th run groups.

 

Stickier?! STICKIER?! And just what do you call that lake that I and Alan and just about everyone else in my run group slid through, hmmm?

Stickier, my *bleep*.



Thanks for shooting that video. I'm anxious to see how what I think is going on inside the car compares to what was going on outside the car. If you want to put mine up on a public spot, that's fine. I can snag 'em and put 'em up on my home server. That one run will serve everyone as a prime example of what not to do. (I hit the above-mentioned slick spot, slid off into the dirt, downshifted to first, ground my way out, hit another patch, slid again, and then missed the shift to second.)

As for your run, I swear, I'm going to file a protest and have your car inspected for any anti-cone technology. I just just don't see any other explanation for it. There's no possible way you could've missed that cone.

 

LOL - yeah, ok. The rest of the course was really coming together nicely though. Maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better. But all the times of the 3rd run group seemed to average lower.

Hoche - here you go (QuickTime or AVI... whichever you want):

If you want a higher quality encode let me know - it's not a problem.

Woah. Cool!

Veddy veddy eenteresting. The lines were roughly as I expected, though I would've liked to have cut the apexes a little closer. I was definitely trying to late apex everything, but I seem to've been a little too late in some places. Also, I think I was dragging the brakes a little too much with my left foot. I'm not getting any car rotation at all. Hm.

Hard to believe that last one was a .71. I look dog slow out there.


And gah, that first one was horrible. *shudder*.


Ok, so where're your runs?

 

I'll encode the rest of the footage tomorrow and post it up. Nothing too exciting from the footage of my laps... even my 68 doesn't look like much.

Check out the this thread over at BAIC - Casey posted a ton of pics.

 

My pics are posted on the first page of this thread too

 

Doh! My bad.

 

Hoche - I posted some other footage on the BAIC thread. I'm having "technical difficulties" with this site.
