Some cool video from VIR Monday

It's BIG @ 900MB because it HD video, but its a pretty quick connection.

A nice run with me and one of those "mini" nascar cars at VIR full course.

Apparently he had arm restraints and a window net so i couldn't see his many point bys! but it was still fun!

I'll shrink it down later and post a smaller lower quality video if anyone wants it.

BTW, make sure you right click and "Save As" otherwise it will take forever to load!

more video that one of our BMW friends captured behind me.....notice the abundance of traffic....

It was a great day!!

Is it the angle from the BumperCam . . . or . . . have they put in some new curbing at VIR????

Very fun viewing by the way. The wings look good Devon and Eric

Hmmm... maybe my laptop is slow, but I can't get it to play steadily. It's playing a few seconds at a time.

. . . . try switching around - Real Player, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, etc
SOme worked better for me than others.

Can you break it down to something smaller, can't get it to down load, clicked on it when to dinner and it was not downloaded an hour later. The seconded was good a little on the dark side but good. what kind of a BMW was it that was following you? I'd like to have one of those!

BMW is a e36 M3 essentially a 1995 fairly heavily track prepped and full cage.

Great, made interesting viewing.

Was interesting to watch the rear wing on your car. Hard to say if the camera is shuffling from side to side or not but it appeared that your wing is moving laterally quite a bit. Have you put lateral support stays on the wing now that you have extended it?

Have not added any lateral stays yet. Wanted to see the wing in action first.

Interesting - must be an illusion - I can't see it moving..... hmm

i must be video download stupid or something. first one i have downloaded twice with no success and the smaller version only plays for about 59 seconds.

btw eric, you have any idea what kind of speeds you were running on the straights? my car is speedo-less, i haven't a clue!! I was driving the "mini-nascar".

Hey bill! good times That was one of the funnest sessions I've run in a long time. My speedo was reading @130-135, but i suspect it may be a tad low, i just "roughly calibrated, i didn't have my traqmate on for that session, bummer! although we never got a real clean lap, still a blast!

I had some helpers clock us in traffic around a 2:15.00 but like you said, there wasn't a lap we weren't getting help up atleast 3-4 times. i suspect we would turn 2:05's with signigicant seat time. You were definately out braking me but I think I had a little on ya in the straights. Speaking of braking, what kind of stainless steel lines are you running? I dealt with leaking lines all day, hence me pumping the brakes at every turn.

hands down that was the highlight of my day...its been a long time since I had someone to run with!!!!

One thing this car can do is brake HARD! but with a measly 330 crank hp, you were walking me on the straights for sure!!

This is why I have an LS1 ready to go in in the off season! :-o 450whp here we come!

I think the cars are easily capable of low 2:00'-2:05 laps at VIR... 2:15 is impressive with all that traffic! prior to that session my best lap in my BMW was a 2:15 in a clean TT session!

with some new tires and springs in February 2:05 would be wonderful!
