Here is the first few laps of the Group 3 race. at about 10-14 laps , we had a car hit a wall and the last few laps were under caution.
fun weekend!

Here is the rear cam view .. fun start and the nascar toward the end was getting his sea legs and finally blew by me with his 750HP. over shot turn 7, and then cam back on... pretty funny. I got a good laugh there.

Mark - thanks for sharing your video with the community. Everyone gets better when we are able to look at and discuss video and data even if we don't always agree.

Thanks Mark. That NSX was a beautiful car. Great to watch TY!

The power is so hard to compete with
In their early days I could fend them off
Now
No way
So I have fun rattling them and then getting good video for them !

Definitely downshift more

If we used the Indy track, i would make a couple more downshifts per lap!

it seems you are having a hard time getting power down one the slower corners.....how stiff is your rear bar set? I found when I disconnected the rear bar in Casper I could get on the throttle much earlier and harder, especially in bumpy corners! It felt like the rear suspension was working better, vs skipping around with the rear bar on.

Or maybe crank up your rear wing a little for Sears?

You keep your right hand on the shifter a lot more than necessary.

Is that a beer opener or cigar cutter on the key chain?

mark kibort

It was coming apart... had to make sure it was attached. just being safe.
my lucky key chain! .... so yes it was necessary. the key chain is my g load meter.

two different issues. wing doesn't effect the slow corners. down the carousel exit, near 100mph, lost the wicker about lap 2. so the wing wasn't doing .
As far as the power being put down.. are you seeing issues at 11 ,5, 2 or 7?
the rear bar is the stock bar, slightly stiffened. so not bad. some of those slow corners, the exits are off camber or the turn is over 90 degrees . combined with 8 heat cycle A6s.... it puts a little delay on the throttle appl. the 928 is not as nimble and dosnt have the power as the cars i run with. you have to understand, the 3 cars i ran with in that race. NSX 650hp., NASCAR 760hp, and that transam car (rumored , 700hp). So, it might appear that I'm not on the gas, but with near half the HP, its a huge disadvantage. plus, not having real slicks puts a damper exit throttle too.

even the transam car of Bob Davis was having problems entering and exiting the slow turns.

What you don't hold your car in 3rd gear?

The exhaust note from rear facing camera is fantastic...

it was popping out of second for a few years. (without load) had to do with a shifter fork alignment.. so the answer is no.. only 1st and 2nd are on the same shift fork. I re-aligned it, but it felt funny in the warm up lap, so as a precaution, i put pressure on it. as long as the hands are aligned correctly, and you are strong enough, it is not a problem.. so,it is not a problem. as far as the shifter goes, it was the stock shift boot that was disintegrated internally , so have to replace before next race.

Thanks! i know, its one of the reasons ive kept the car for so long. to me, that porsche V8 is just a music maker!
