Can someone tell me what software was used to overlay the graphics on that video? That is pretty cool!

I wish they ran turn 5 so I could watch him there instead of the bypass...

Steven M (sik68) sent it to me.

I think Gaetano said the bypass shaves 2 seconds on average?

Pretty sure that is a Traqmate system.

Looks like you're right, I found it listed on his website. That system looks really cool, but it is a bit pricey...

Thanx!

I found other posts with that car / racing team -- with them running turn 5....

I can tell you right now -- that Charley and his buddies that are very familiar with this track - are running good cars - and making 2:11's or so.... He timed me on one or two laps and got 2:15 and I know I was doing way better than that on Sunday afternoon... but when I see this guy ripping off 1:54's --- it's like OMG -- no way I'm to going to be running like that!

I was hoping to get into 2:08's or better.... and have my GTechPro Fanatic RR all set and ready to go to clock my times. I'm mostly going to set it up to record the splits so I can break down the track and try to improve in one or two spots per session... then finally put 'em all together and see what happens.

You have to remember Dave Brown has multi championships under his belt.

What really amazes me is that he's running a stock front subframe. rear set up is LD

Yeah you can tell he isn't the average guy at a Run to the X event.

Speaking of, he should bring a car to RTTC next year and just clean house.

I like knowing he he is doing that with that stock sub. That car really isn't that exotic or crazy at all. Nothing that couldn't be driven on the street with the right gear.

Now go get em Weld.

Clearly he is a great driver and his car is working perfectly. He's making a few HP too. I don't see him cleaning up at multi event though.

I talked to Karl earlier this year at Infineon and I believe he said 480 to the rear wheels.
IMO it all boils down to wheel time. These guys have been racing for many years consistently.

Ah..... the old "SKILLS" can outdo equipment any day....

I always refer to our beloved Mary P.... she goes out and lays it down REGARDLESS of what the car handles like.. she just adjusts and get's 'er done.


It always brings fond former memories of when I used to drag race - and you'd go out and kill some guy with far better equipment... but you'd do it with tire pressure - and timing - and the right A/F ratio at WOT.... just simple stuff that all the equipment in the world doesn't teach you.

You speak the truth It's even more fun taking out the high $ cars with all their electronics, ie throttle stops, delay boxs.
