Well i finally managed to get a video of one of my hot laps uploaded to a server. Its not the best quality but it shows the line i was taking as well as a couple of bobles. One on lost hill and another at sunset, site of a previous off track excursion for me ;-)

You'll probably want to do a right click "save target as" for this...

davepk, your car sounds awesome.

and very much *non-stock*

what's your setup besides SC (on your sig)?

 

Can I have new pants now?

Nice lap Dave...the car does sound great. can't wait to meet you in 2 weeks

J.P.

 

Excellent example of skilled, smooth driving, Dave! Thanks for the video. My son is anxious to view it.

 

Thanks for the compliments!... As for the sound... When SoS had their garage sale a while ago i got the Speed Racing exhaust they had available at a very good price. But it wasnt the sound i was after it was the weight, at about 12lbs the weight saving is substantial.

stockae92,
besides the SC, pinnacle braking system and the MOTON coilovers... I have a mugen header plus the speed racing exhaust, Toda flywheel and ACT pressure plate and the 17" volk CE28Ns. I've also installed a hardtop and removed everything behind the drivers and passengers seats and installed a 4 point rollbar thats very similar to the one Triple-H has. BTW Triple-H, thanks for the great ideas and write up on your bar. I've probably forgoten a few things but those are the big one. The car is currently at about 2650lbs or so with out driver and 1/2 tank of gas, i figure i have about 50 to 100lbs of easy to remove weight then things will get much tougher.

 

Dave, thanks for posting the hot lap clip - that was awesome to watch. My hands were getting sweaty just watching the movie! The good news is that I was taking nearly the same line, so I must be doing something right. Now, just to go faster ...

 

Ohhh, so that's how you're supposed to do it. You make it look so easy. Great vid Dave and it was nice chatting with you Thursday night.

Wow, Dave, I don't know if it's your camera mount or your shocks are that much stiffer than mine, but I was getting car sick just watching that video Take a look at this and check out the difference in the videos:

I'm also going to have to remember that "pass on the right and pretend you've got a point-by" trick!

 

WOW, the quality on that vid is very good... much better than mine. I'm thinking that the image stabilization on my camera needs to be turned off and i should also use a stabilizing strap between the camera and rollbar. That should fix most of the vibrations. Ohh, and yes i got the point by and as you can see he was way off power... I had no where else to go
