Not from you guys but I'm still getting quite a few point-bys. Kinda takes some of the fun out of it. I propose a new hand signal that says I see you, I'm watching, I'll hold my line and you figure out where to pass.

I had to edit out the long run during the banking (b/c I don't know how to compress video to keep it under utube's size requirements), but this is all 1 1/2 laps.
That is an awesome video! What fun I bet!

I have been saying for sometime now that we should put a hand up in side the car to let the approaching car know we see him. In SS this would be great to know, In DE it is saying a point by is coming at the next passing zone thus reducing "red mist"

Here is yet another video. It is pretty cool to see the same video footage from different cars running in the same group.

Includes more of me, Terry, Tom, Kevin, Bob and Erik. Plus some silly commentary.

I'll have to work on the grappling hook firing device. It should be easy enough to hit that big *** wing. I think I'll use a strap though. Then I can get a whip effect coming out of NC 4 and pass you down the front straight.

Erik always lets me know when he sees me coming - I get flipped off all the time!

...and I always know when you see me coming Brian - you park your *** in the middle of the track and wait to see which side I move for so you can slam the door shut on me.

It's a little late but the answer to your question lies at the end of the video. 2:06.1 was my best. Consistent :06 & :07's without traffic.

Default Erik's RS
If Erik wouldn't post an in-car, I can post me chasing him lap after lap. I have edited out the banking and some infield to try to keep the file size down.

I would be more happy to help yall. I have close to 25k miles at Barbers either instructing, driving, or racing. I too will be racing in the enduro. Just stop by. I am going to be instructing too so if you like I take you out for some hot laps and show you guys some areas that not many racers do but I can bet money will put you one up on the competition. P.S., your not going to be wearing tight jeans and lipstick are you?LMFAO
