Default SCCA sprint video summit point

You can count on me for a view from the back of the pack. Here is my 5 lap racing SCCA career. Summit Point 4/24 http://www.neptune.com/users/walczak...czak273912.wmv

I couldn't open your video. How was the view from back there? Now you know what I'm looking at most of the time. Another big advantage: Hard for someone to hit you...

Nice way to finish up. I was hoping that you would pass that Corvette.

Larry you missed the best part of the tape. The vintage vette I passed in turn one after following him for over a lap, then the Panoz then end of event. Use the www.walczak.neptune.com if you did not get the full tape.

Rich, You are right about the sawing. This is my first use of the wide angle lens and certainly reveals some areas I need to .... smooth out a bit.... No wonder my Hans ends up twisted around my neck.

totally enjoyed the run, gonna watch again right now. What lens is that? I use a Sony wide angle, but nowhere near as wide as that.

Rich,
Ultra wide angle VCL-SW04 $119.99. 40% increase over the standard field of view. The wider angle makes the traffic look more distant so I look faster ;->

You dont need a lens to look fast. Sebring was cool too. Who makes that lens. The Sony I have was like 300, much closer field than that.

John,
I was on the scales Saturday. 2598 with me in it (167 & race suit, shoes, had a tastycake blueberry pie and bagle smothered with peanut butter... call it 177) and 14 gallon of gas, that I only needed 5 so ...
maybe 2325. The motor is a Dawe 3.8 that showed 380 FWHP fresh out of the box.
Sunroof is factory steel with a one touch feature but no tilt like the M3's.
