a little fun at VIR

Post by spazegun2213 »

I was at VIR last weekend and had a blast!

I figured I would post up some videos of last weekend to get people ready for the 2007 track/autoX season!

Lesson 1: Cold track + coolant + pitting car on line = this [language warning]

Lesson 2: HP != speed on track

Lesson 3: Alpha's are slow.. but they DO exist!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXgNAqJnt-4

And just when you think no one is watching:

nice movies. I added a warning for the F-Bomb in the first movie. :wink:

I hear VIR is a fast track, now I SEE that it's a fast track!

These are awesome, thanks for sharing!

What happened on the spin? I couldn't tell what the cause of it was. Too much throttle?

it was actually me on the brakes + a cold track + a little coolant on the track = spin... it sucked and could have been avoided I'm sure.

you could almost hear the gears in your head rapidly turning to figure out the appropriate reaction. after a very long list of words was filtered down and submitted to query the chosen word was then sent to the speech centers of the brain and out it came!
