TowDawg 0 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I had a blast in the Sun race, and couldn't wait to get it all put together. The only problem is that when I got home last night and was unpacking, I noticed a memory card in my computer. SON OF A BITCH! I was downloading Saturday's footage on Sat night and left the damn card in my computer! Ran the cameras all day Sun, and all I have is the rear view. By the way, it says your video has been removed because it's too long. It must be something in your youtube settings because I've posted hour long vids and never had an issue. I just can't post them directly from my editing program. Have to export them to my hard drive first, and then upload them. And off topic, how long does it usually take to post the Sun results? I remember it being about a week after Barber. The Sat results are posted within hours, but I'm curious as to where I finished on Sun. So many cars and lap traffic, I really have no idea. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TowDawg 0 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Brakes are for pansies! Lol Another results question for you. Is the season points standing area working for anyone else? I click on it, but it doesn't actually load any standings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brkntrxn 0 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Saturday Thunder Race running in ST3. Qualified on pole for my class and led to the win. The overall leader was catching my group and had gotten to within four cars from me. When the full course caution came out, it trapped 2nd-6th in ST3 a lap down while I got to circle around and stay on the lead lap. I got lucky and it made for an easy last half of the race. For the ST3 Corvette vs ST3 Thunder Roadster discussions, pay attention to the start of the race. P2 and P3 were ST3 TRs and they stayed with me all the way to the braking zone of T1. The P2 TR stayed dead even with me until we hit the brakes. If nothing else says "equal hp:wt ratio", that does!!! And I was very worried they were going to outbrake me because I am carrying 1200 more pounds of weight than them. -Kevin AbVCrg2H-m8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This should serve as an example to everyone of what situational awareness means. Great job of staying out of the other class racing too. Can't wait to watch you at Nationals.

bob-e 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 yikes. maybe the rx7 thought you were st2? let's hope so. great races! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbrew8991 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 only thing I saw that was bad was the ST2 RX7 - could've been a case of mistaken identity - Is that 'vette ST2 or 3? Dunno better race 'em. Sometimes you're just going to catch cars that have their own race going on too. That's sports car racing with multiple classes. I do the same bad habit sometimes, but, getting all mad and frustrated and waving hands (at least you used all your fingers!) just takes metal energy away from driving the car, analyzing the cars in your way to plan a good way by them, etc. Probably could've gone by a few corners earlier. Easy to monday morning quarterback that one though. Just mostly saying that I suffer from the same thing sometimes and get better results when I make myself calm down and focus on a way through, there's time to get mad later.
