Trying to spice up this board a little and get some activity!

All kinds of comments and tips welcome. I need to shave another 5 seconds.
I know its harder to offer advice without the data overlay. Batteries on logger died.

Very Nice. You were definitely moving out here!

Kind of off topic, but how far is VIR from Washington DC? I was just in DC for work and would've loved to visit VIR to see the track in person.

 

[darreng505]

About 4 hours. I live just outside DC.

Can't see the video with my android tablet.

 

[darreng505]

Works from my Android phone. Wierd. Maybe you need to update your youtube app since they ditched flash the other day.

Nice video! I will add my opinion on it for what its worth.

Turn 1 looks good, 3 you can carry a little more speed, I am not sure about 4, i would love to see the data through there and im going to try that line next time out, lower s's look great, upper s's and out of 10 is where your going to find the time you want. You can carry a TON more speed there, I would bet there is 3+ seconds in that section alone for you. Oak tree looks fantastic, brake a little later into 14, roller coaster looks great, carry a little more speed out of hog pin.

Great video, however I wish it was inside so you could get a straight on view of the track and see how the car is going into turns.

Yeah me too. I do have an inside cam but the battery was dead when this was shot.

This year I'm going to have helmet cam and inside cam with full overlays.

Can someone help me understand how that time is even possible? I wanted to compare it with other cars, are you sure it's a full track?

You are looking at a list of stock cars lapping VIR. Yes, that video was in VIR - Full, but when he said a stock BOSS, I am sure he meant a stock BOSS engine, not a stock Boss car, it would be impossible for a stock Boss to get near to those times, suspension, weight and specially tires makes a huge difference. Also, for what I hear, since the Oak Tree is gone, that turns is MUCH faster now.

You need to compare it with : http://www.mylaps.com/en/classification/2992027?perClass=1

Hope that helps.

This is incorrect, Those other cars from fastlaps site are running the Grand course NOT the full course.

Ooops... heh... true. The grand east is huge.. oh the old days with the mazda club!! But the rest of my comments are ok.

Yes sir they are!

Yeah, the text in the beginning of the video says "stock motor" but it disappears quickly. The car has upgraded wheels, exhaust, suspension and aero at that point in time. Still had a lot of the interior and windows still. Probably was a good 3800lbs on grid too.

Didn't think that there would be racing weather looking like that currently. Nice vid.
