My best lap at MSRC

**SWortham** · 01-04-2007, 01:51 PM

This was at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson, TX last September. The camera was mounted on the top of my car with a magnetic mount. Unfortunately the wind noise is terrible and you can't even hear the tires squealing. But anyway this was my best lap of the day at 1:32.25 :

The Google video is going to be a lot faster to download, but if you want to see a higher quality version then I've got one here:

And I'm not sure if I ever posted this but there was a video taken the same day from my brother's car as he tries to keep up...

Nice, can you wire an external mic with whatever camera you are using?

**SWortham** · 01-04-2007, 04:59 PM

Not with that one, it doesn't have any auxiliary inputs. But next time I'll be using your famous in-car camera mount with a much better camcorder.

I'm glad I figured out my lap times though. At the next track day I'll be able to quantify just what kind of improvement the new suspension has made.

cool vids! Track looks cool too. Were you still stock?!

**SWortham** · 01-23-2007, 01:53 PM

^ I just had a COBB AP Stage 1, and a V-Limited lip spoiler at the time.

I imagine the -2 degrees front camber and RCE springs with Ohlins I have now will help quite a bit. I'm also getting new 245/45-17 Falken RT-615's today, and COBB stage 2 this weekend.

I'm going to guess I'll get down to 1:28.xx lap times for the next event.

In other words, you'll drive a new car!! Ya I also think your new setup will kick botts at the next event

Just wonderin: whats your top speed on this lap?

I think I hit 110 mph on the longest straight or maybe a little faster.

Not so bad! I went for a couple of runs on the Gilles Villeneuve track in mtl yesterday... the top speed you get is the one you chose!

All you need are big cohonas. But after each straights are 90 degrees corners and 'S' turns so you gotta be verry careful not to miss your braking spot. Especially in winter...
