donovan Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Very close racing in race 1, Texas World Speedway 2.9 CW. I qualified on the pole, the other two lead cars have me by ~50-75 TQ, but I'm 400 lb lighter, definetly shows the diversity of the AI cars with regards to Weight to Power. I set the track record on the last lap. http://www.donovanracing.com/TWS_Race_1_April_28_2007s.wmv 99MB, right click save as enjoy.

nape Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 What did your car end up weighing, David? I saw some build pics and it looked like you had that thing pretty skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8cobra99 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Wow, that was just a great video. You Texas cats can drive..... Good Job !! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donovan Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 The car in race trim is 3170-3190 coming off track after a 20 min race. Its 3130-3150 after a 40 min race... I weigh 250. There are still a few places I could remove some weight and if I could ever get this extra 50-60 lbs off of the driver I would be somewhere around 3050 lbs in race trim. I hope to be there for next year. David D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renntag Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 David. Great video. Thanks. It was frustrating watching you close on the front cars in T1 to a shut door. Nice move on the Motion Camaro. Congrats on the Lap record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the Lap record. Thanks, It was frustrating, but also lots of fun. I had a great time chasing them down. I learned alot that weekend, and took lots of notes on what worked and what did not work when chasing down cars with lots more TQ and weight. Fun stuff in deed! David D.
