Anyone racing today? Anyone going just to watch/videotape?

 

I'll be there. :-) My friend Brent, too. Look for the blue and gold Camaros

 

Someone has to video tape some racing for me. That's the only way I can get my fix.

 

Sorry dude, I am still in negotiations to obtain a new video camera.

 

I have the budget authorization, but can't race and record at the same time.

 

I might swing down that direction tonight. I don't have a track approved car yet so I can hold the video camera if someone brings one.

 

...and shows me how to push the buttons.

 

Time for a roll cage and camera mount?

 

I've decided to go ahead and make the trip to Fry's and pick up a camcorder. If I don't have to let it sit all night to charge I'll bring it over to the track and break it in. In any case, I'll have a camera ready for next Wednesday...assuming the weather holds.

 

If you haven't done it already, might I suggest Costco for your purchase location? UNLIMITED return policy...even years later.

 

Already bought, but now that you mention it, I should check whether Sam's Club has a similar policy. My wife has a business membership there.

 

Sam's Club > Costco

Although I have no idea what their return policy is.

 

How'd ya do?

Me? Consistently bad.

14.5 @ 97
14.7 @ 96
14.7 @ 97
14.3 @ 99

LOL I couldn't get traction. Best 60' was a 2.3. Bald-*** tires. Oh well, I guess I'll eventually get better, right? With some tires I think she has a high 13 in her, considering I've only been driving stick w/ RWD for 4 months pretty much and never had to really launch before last weekend

I guess I'll get there

 

14.3 @ 99 isn't a bad place to start with an LT1 and your first season at the track. Heck, that's what I was running my first couple times with my GTO. Practice and track prep make a big difference. By the end of last year I went from a 14.6(first race) to a 13.9(last race).

BTW, I've got the camera working. I had to get a DVD burner to work with the DVD-RW discs it uses(I haven't substantially upgraded my computer is years and only had a straight DVD player). I'll experiment with it on Tuesday and plan on taking it to Pacific with me on Wednesday. Hopefully I can find someone to get some shots of me who I can trust not to walk with the camera.

 

That wouldn't be me. . . haha j/k! So you're going NEXT wednesday, too? I don't know if I'll be there or not--I work in Redmond and can't get another day off. I will probably be there next Friday though, and I'll def. be at B-Town on Saturday if it doesn't rain out.

Thanks for the reassurance, by the way. I was feeling like the worst driver on the planet

 

What was the wait time between runs Wednesday evening?

 

LONG. :loL:

 

Thanks bud. I'm going to head out there one of these days but would like to wait until I can get plenty of track time. So far this season it's been pretty crowded. Hope it gets better as other tracks open.

 

these are my best numbers from last wednesday, not a bad 60' for shitty tires and a v6
60' 2.282
330 6.461
1/8 9.945
mph 70.41
1000 12.945
