Default In Car Video-LG Motorsports, World Challenge C6- Long Beach GP

Hi Guys,

This is the full race (minus the last lap because it stopped recording)

It is large, somewhere near 200 mb so down load accordingly.

Enjoy.

You will see at the start, I had a very bad launch (reaction time) and went from 4th to 7th. Then on the restart, I got a good run on the Porsche 997 of Pobst but he came around me and made contact with me in between turn one and two. That let Archer's Viper also get by, hitting me in the process.

Then the remainder of the race is recovering from the start and passing all the same guys to get back to 3rd place. Fellows had a bad alternator which caused him to die on the last yellow but other than that, it was a hard fought race with plenty of action.

thanks guys

Lou Gigliotti

PS, How do you like the sound of the LG Pro Long Tubes

Had you not gotten bumped which allowed the Viper to get by, you may have finished 1st. Good driving to get back to 3rd. Were there any restrictions put on your car for the race ? I know in the past when you have qualified well and running a lot faster then the rest of the field you either had to add weight, or run a restrictor. Anything like that this time around ? Good luck with the rest of the season, hope to see you on top of the points list this year.

Great vid, and looked like you got out nice and hot out of that tight corner in lap 22, you are in 5th gear way earlier than in prior laps where you decel right at that same spot. What kind of car is #82 McCann?

Lou,

Do you and Tommy Archer have something going on? Every time I watch SWC, it looks like he's out to get you.

#82 is a Viper Comp coupe with 510 cu in to our little ole LS2 with stock manifold and a 69.7mm throttle body opening (restrictor plate).

That car has torque for sure.

Lou,

Yes, sometimes he acts like a moron. Or maybe he is just getting old

Back in 95, I grabbed his brother by the shirt and I was fined, disqualified and I lost 20 points, so when he grabbed my shirt and started to lose it, I just pushed him away. Then he came back and tried it again, and some other competitors stopped him. So the officials fined him $3000 and put him on probation. (Much less than they did to me)

So I pulled out $3000 in cash and started to pay the officials and I told them I was going to go over and "Knock him out" and wanted to pay in advance

They didn't take the money.

Thanks

Well Lou that would've been one for the books. Paying the Fine in advance and then knocking the crap outta the guy. Funny stuff.

Is the bumping that I saw in earlier laps pretty common?
