d.hitchcock Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 IMG_5292.MOV - Google Drive DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM The google drive link isn't working like I hoped. Please select the video with the orange Cobra in the preview. (Sorry, that's my best solution for now.) If you want to save time, the best part starts around the 9:25 mark. If this doesn't work for you all, please let me know. If there is a better way to do this, I'll try to figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp5Touring Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Worked. Looked like a total blast. Great video, what camera and where was it mounted. I was asked if I would do a video on a color tour coming up and need to decide where to mount a gopro. Again very cool, I think this is 11 hours from me of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.hitchcock Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Thanks! Actually, this was made with my iPhone SE on an amazon-sourced suction mount on the windshield. Nothing fancy at all. I'm pleased the audio came out as good as it did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furry Camel Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 What was the event meant to be? It looked more like a spirited drive, than an actual race. There was a lot of coasting, when you could have been all in with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of coasting, when you could have been all in with it. It's a open track event, with limited passing, and a 100-mph speed limit in this run group. It's more like an HPDE. Definitely not a race. There are drivers of varying skill levels. The slow drivers are a hold up in the turns. If they are in big power cars, they feel no shame in being slow in the corners and running away in the straights. What this can mean is that I'm running like 75% through the corners, then unable to keep pace with them in the straights, rendering a pass unlikely. Also, I am not allowed to accelerate continuously through the straights after hitting 100 mph. In the previous session, the rolling chicane I had to deal with was a 427 Cobra replica. Slow as a mofo in the turns, then BRRAAAAPPP away in the straights. I had him set up to pass at one point, he saw me to his left and on his bumper, but instead of pointing by, he sped off ... So, you know, frustrating. When I could get some open track, I could drive a bit better. Check the 16:00 mark or so for about a minute. I also botch the end of the esses in this sequence. lol On Sundays sessions, I got to run with better drivers, all in period vehicles, and I started out front. Built up 20-plus second margins over the other drivers and lapped a few. It was glorious, but of course I didn't record that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furry Camel Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 It looked like in a few scenes, you were holding back purposely, so I get what you're saying. Sometimes on exhibition aka dial it back a bit events with many being overcautious, it's awfully tempting to stop paying attention to the speedo when traffic opens up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
