Here is an in car video I took of my road course run. My best lap was my first timed lap, lap #2. The tires were getting a bit hot and greasy after lap 2. I also overshot corner #3 on lap 3. The sun was getting low and it was very hard to pick up any braking points. The rear end was locking up due to too much rear brake bias. I had more dialed in for the autocross and forgot to adjust it for the road course. I love this track and hope to drive it again.

Great video. Very cool watching you run the car all out. As a spectator I've seen you at the Mather and Goodguys autocross but it's a much diffent perspecitve to see inside the car, on a big course with no traffic during a competition. :hail:

Brian,


As always... it was great to see you and your Dad again. Amazing car - amazing driving...

#2 was only a hair splitting distance from being #1.... you should be proud as hell! If there were 55 entires I'd be happy to come in #56! :lol:

What is the HP difference between your car and Mayhem? From what I saw, the gap was pretty narrow.

I have 611 hp at the crank, 518 to the rear wheels. Mark says 875 hp.

When I drove Mike Maier's Mustang with 825 hp, night and day to my car.

That gap says a lot for the car you put together and your driving ability.

Nice to meet you at SEMA, the 73 looked awesome!

Love this Camaro. I saw it at Maier Racing when Mike was working on it. My jaw dropped and liked what I saw in terms of fab work, suspension, those flared fenders.... and pretty much everything else about the car :thumbsup:

Looks like it did pretty well at Thunderhill. With the proper rear gear and some sticky tires it will do 1:5x's easily.

Congrats at the OUSI event on a good finish. My buddy is Filip from Cortex Racing with the LS7 powered '65 Mustang.

Here is video from behind the seats. The glare on the windshield prevents you from seeing the track. I had not put a camera here before. Oh well. It is different to watch myself driving. The wheel hop was killing me. Too much rear brake bias! I am still kicking myself for not adjusting it.

I mean I'm a huge Steilow fan, but this is impressive. Awesome runs and congrats again! :thumbsup:
