Lot's of f'ups and some cool power slides.

Do you have any larger video files? As if I didn't suck up all my office bandwidth trying to download your other 120Mb file

Seriously, thanks for taking the time to upload these. Oh, and did you switch gloves??

I'm sure you've got a few. You know, they bitch if you don't give passing signals, and they razz you if you do... Wait til my 911 is back.

And I wanna see some video of me from the last session on Sunday after I got my front brakes fixed at PST after they had been progressively giving up throughout Sunday! I swear I was a lot faster!

Sorry, no video from the last session, but I don't recall any black gloves giving me a point-by, either. That should count.

Thanks amondc. Looks a lot of fun with a bit of everything. You guys in the US are lucky with so many tracks. We have one major track in Sydney and another that is getting closed down soon. This in a city with a population of over 5 million...and they wonder why the kids are racing on the street.

FIOS is amazing.......

I've got one more session I can upload. I just need to process it. Yes, I switch gloves all the time. Why, I really don't know.

George, I just watched your 340mb video. Do you remember how bad the sand & gravel were coming out of 8 when behind other cars? I remember getting repeatedly peppered by the cup cars unless I backed off or went to the middle of the track. Nasty stuff...

Yes I do remember. Do you see the hand prints on my dash from all the dust? Once the grass grows in, it will be gone.

Default THE 'REAL DEAL', INDEED!

Nice to see David and Linda's vision, hard work, and diligence during the inclement summer weather which delayed their opening, finally become a reality. They should attract some 'top notch' events once their vision is complete!

That pretty much sums it up! Great peeps, too!
Judging by the responses and local interest, their calendar should fill up fast...
Wish them all the best.

I am mostly on the PP board but I heard there was a place for ECR videos over here.
Here's mine.

Well......he is our customer so I thought I'd be nice. His car is quite a bit better than mine and has all the goodies and mine is a work in progress lacking certain things like aftermarket sway bars. I thought we were pretty equal on power but he can corner much better than I can.

I tried to keep up with him but it just wasn't possible. He is a pretty good driver. He was happy to stay behind me and watch me screw up but it was making me nervous so he needed to go on.

Yup, he's improved dramatically since he got that car. It was almost like a night and day transformation when he got out of the 996.

Hey Dave, check out the next to last lap again... It's my favorite asshat. Notice how he pits rather than give me a passing signal? Not even a cool down lap. He's done that the past couple of times I've caught him. You know, to me that's ultimate "I don't want to admit" statement. Hell, I'd have ten times more respect if he'd stayed and given the passing signal.

Yup, saw that. I hate to admit it, but I love getting right behind him (not that hard to catch him, really) and just hang there. I know he will wait 2-3 laps to give a point by...and I also know that he will drive his mirrors with red mist overload, and put at least 2 wheels off on at least every other corner. It's fun to make him over-drive rthe car!

Even this past weekend, as crappily as I was driving & as crappy as my car was handling, he delivered like clockwork!
