Default Couple of autox vids

[hr]

'08 DC Pro. Quality isn't so hot, but you hear the cars and it was the fastest left course run I made (maybe in the class, I don't know). http://youtube.com/watch?v=-DsdX9PybR8 DC Regional back in March of '07. Car is an '05 Mustang GT, NOT the Shelby, and before I figured out some balance things with the GT's that I now know/use. Mostly for entertainment purposes, but I should point out that I was but .3 slower on that course (and you'll notice it's long) than I was in the Shelby that day.(best to download this one) http://wiker.net/video/25Mar07-Sam.mov[/align][/align]The second one is much better than the first. In car, good sounds and can see what a 4-time National Champion drives like (even though I was only a 3-time champion in that second video). [/align][/align]We've been messing with some new digital video equipment. Hopefully someday I'll have more to share with you all. [/align][/align]

I can't make Milwaukee this year. Wish I could, but it's just not in the cards with the way the schedule worked out.

That course in the second vid isn't really that fast in terms of outright speed. I know this because we never hit the rev limiter in either car and that was right about 61 in the Shelby on the tires we ran at that time. Just goes to show how quick autox is, even when the road speed isn't stupid, stuff comes at you in a hurry.

I've been meaning to get a hold of you about my current setup and where to go with it. Now that Marcus and Jen want to run ESP (not to mention Jason and Carol Kolk), all the rest of us need to step it up. I'm curios about camber and how to get more. I wanted to do the Peru national, but it didn't work for me.

Happy to help my friend. It's what I do all day long.... The Kolks Camaro is about 98% a copy of my Camaro. I've been messing with the idea of moving my GT to ESP... but I don't need two ESP cars and this just isn't the right time. But I've been formulating some ideas for such a move and suspension wise I don'tthink it will take a lot.

Phone number is in my sig, give me a ring.
