Nice video. Thanks grant - 7 years ago |
Re: Nice video. Thanks Trygve (San Francisco, CA) - 7 years ago |
Yeah, and Indycar too (they're there right now). Fun to watch. NASCAR and Indycar run two different course configurations than the rest of us. NASCAR short circuits T5 & T6. I think it's so they have less cornering, and more laps to circulate in front of fans. Indycar avoids the high speed version of T9/10 (at their speeds, a mistake in 10 would be scary) and moves T11 closer (there is ZERO runoff in in the normal configuration which is a hairpin at the end of a high speed section).Quote

It sounds like you have fairly few tracks nearby, but the quality is very high. Too bad PCA can't get Sonoma.
That's where the NASCAR boys ( and girls) race, right?
I don't think there was any damage this weekend. PCA (especially our group up here) is very respectful and well-behaved. That's not to say nothing ever happens (I think everyone who's been doing this for a couple of years has experienced at least some minor contact) but it is not a constant occurrence. Having said that, there was a SoCal-based guy a couple of years ago who was a menace (but he got banned and is no longer around).Quote

The video is nice in that it shows the "feel" of the race. While the split screen gets me (my eyes keep darting back and forth) its nice to see proximity and action in both directions. Looks like a mostly well behaved crowd. Of course, when i go back to the video i'll probably see a needless pileup and eat my words.
The initial PSS9 install was done with the help of the friend who sold it to me (used -- and now old enough I think it needs a refresh).Quote

Nice that you've had the car in many guises- most people i know buy a car fully built, or buy a donor car and have it built. You did it (how much with your own hands, by the way?).
