I can't believe you had 2 spins on that short clip... You are really a special driver. Could you post a picture of yourself so we could put a face on such an individual ?

I run a pretty aggressive alignment for a street car which typically eats the inside edge alive too (the outside edge is scrubbed pretty well from the track/AutoX usage).

In my experience, it eats the shoulders real bad in the south chicane, 3, and will grind the heck out of a 944 right front onto the front straight (all the transitions). Then, the bowl will eat tires - between the camber, speed, and aggragate coming out of the pavement, the bowl wears tires.

How boring!

At least ColorChange & Ghetto Racer stayed exactly the same, even though we bombarded them with the best knowledge and information we had until they just gave up on us.

Great Video

That is a great video (in the sense that it is clear, stable, and has cool gps/telemetry built in). I love the setup. If Brent doesn't have dibs on it, I'd be interested in buying it from you.

Do you have any video shooting from behind your car at the DE? That would be cool to see. It would be sweet to do a PIP of the front and rear cameras so you can see the full picture of what it looks like running flat out.

OK Crew;

Good work. Another eager and earnest Seeker of Knowledge sacrificed at the alter of the Rennlist Gods of Speed. Fried to a crisp under the white hot light of our unwavering truth. Chewed up and spit out to appease our insatiable lust for human destruction. Give our best to Ghetto Racer and ColorChange in Drover Purgatory.

May you all continue to drive... Flat Out.
