Anybody taking video at Willow?

[Jad]

Here is a video of me driving in the orange group on Sunday morning. I think it may give some ideas of alternate lines to try as some were quite different than mine. I think most of the orange group drivers should be somewhere in the 17 minute video. I will try to post my timed runs video once it uploads where I am pushing much harder and driving a better line.

Oh, and I ran out of gas at the end It still ran, but not in 9!

It seems like you passed everybody except me. I was either hiding behind the pit wall or you went by me so fast that I looked like a blue cone again.

I said most, I figured you would be posting the video of you passing me??? Seriously fast blue cone doing a 1:36

Ya, what's the deal with a 1:36 Mark?
You drove the wheels off that car... really nice driving.
Must have been all the extra sleep you got Saturday night!

Here is the timed run video with me pushing harder and getting the line dialed in...

Here is a video of me chasing Mark, of course to no avail. But I got faster just by following him

Congrats on the great times, Mark.

Nice vid Fred. Smooth lines and very relaxed hands. You look pretty fast there running 888s. Yep, Mark R. never missed a beat and destroyed all of us in orange.

Speaking of the weather, I dodged a tumbleweed blowing across the track around turn 7 on two different laps on Sunday. Cool shirt worked great.

Great clip coming out of nine - I'm glad that you decided to not come back onto the course until I made it by...

Very smooth, Fred. Impressive drive. But, Mark was so smoking fast that I thought he would surely get #1 in the BRI.

And, thanks for the DVD. Much appreciated. See out there again, I hope.

Most impressive times of the weekend, Mark. Thought you would surely get #1 BRI. Of course, we've gotten so used to Jad in the #1 slot that we forget how really good he is. Congrats to you both!!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Steve G has the car so well set up that it practically drives itself. I just put a brick on the gas pedal and tap the brakes once in a while.

Looks like You Drive Flat Out, If only you had put on the knobby tires The GT3 would have been in the dust

Great drive. Your car rotates well and looks stable through the turns. I got dizzy watching my car bounced through turn 8 & 9.

Try a slightly higher line through 8. Go in about 3/4 high and work down to the middle of the corner at exit. It'll keep those nasty bumps to a minimum.

Here are my speeds according to the data I've looked at so far: Turn 8/9 117mph, turn 9 apex cone 97mph, Turn 2 exit 88 mph, Turn 3 63mph, Front straight 115 mph. I haven't done the math yet, but I think that in ideal conditions, a low to mid 1:35 is possible in my car.
