>>>Can't play it<<<
Then you have a problem with Real Video. It plays on all of our machines here in our office.
Did you "save to disk"? or did you just click on the link?

Nice long video. Do you recall how many were in that particular run group? Lotsa open tack from the looks of it (other than the one shrug of frustration).

I don't remember how many were in that run group session ... maybe 10 or cars.
Lots of open track. That was a time trial practice session.
The rules were that there was only passing on the front straight, the back straight, and the straight out of turn 2....
And.. we had to wait until the driver being over taken signaled to pass. That's a bunch of BS for an Orange group if you ask me. But... it was their rules, so I had to play by them.
But the WSIR is an incredible wide open, truely high speed trach. It's very easy on the cars, and really lets you run the car wide open.

Cool video 
It was hard to get a feel for how fast you moving because your car is so solid. The part that gave me the most feel was the way you were moving. Tony what spring rate do you run front and rear?

Gosh Tony - you sure have a big head! LOL 
Surprising how every second corner near the end has skid mark going of the track into the dirt!
Passing: The most frustrating thing about DE's... I'm always wanting to pass any chance I get.. I know how frustrating it can be to have a guy with a faster car buit smaller ***** in front of you.. slow in the corners mashing the gas on the straights.

>>>you sure have a big head!<<<
Yeah.... The problem is that that only place that I could mount the camera mount, without cutting my roll bar padding, and with the VHC-C camcorder was real close to the drivers seat.
I plan on getting a much smaller digial camcorder that will allow me to mount more towards the passenger side of the car.
>>>Surprising how every second corner near the end has skid mark going of the track into the dirt!<<<
Yep. Lot of outbraking going on. WSIR is great for that type of manuever (as long as you don't screw it up... )

Yep. At WSIR, if that occurs, the driver that's fast down the straight, but slower in the corners will get the passing flag thrown at him. The corner workers there are real good about that type of thing.
