RacinM3 in-car video

[RacinM3]

Hey guys, well, after all these years I'm finally getting around to uploading some race videos to the ol' 'puter. If you like it, let me know and I'll post more as I get them up.

This one is 2003, Speed World Challenge Touring at Lime Rock. It was my first (and only) time racing there (it's a nearly 3,000 mile tow for us), and I for some reason chose this series, with 50+ cars, on a 1.3 mile track, for my first time there. In the rain, the POURING rain!

It was a tough weekend. The series severely limits track time, and to make matters worse I had two carbon driveshaft failures that weekend, the second during the qualifying race, which relegated me to starting the main race 47th. So by the time the lights went out on the standing start, I think I had a grand total of about 20 minutes of track time on the weekend. Starting 47th, I think I finished 23rd or so.

awesome vid. The spray is crazy at the start. Nice agriculture work :)

Does it ever not rain during a race at Limerock? Seems every video I see is in the rain.

Good race nevertheless :thumbup:

That's incredible, you can't see shat!! Maybe you should consider running with TWO wipers during a wet race! :gomer:

Post up some more, really cool!!

[Accipiter]

I was there, soaked to the bone, having a great time. In fact, you probably have me in frame there on the hill side as you go into the grass.

OF COURSE WE WANT MORE VIDS!

Very cool! Thanks, and send more. :thumbup:

I was there that weekend as well. The only dry day was Sunday when there was no racing.

Great video! Looks like you made some smart choices on that first lap.

Lime Rock looks like a lot of fun, like flying jets in a gymnasium! :gomer:

Here's another. If you're a Lexus fan, don't watch....

OK, here's an inverted race start at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Roval. I hold this up as evidence that you can, in fact, win a race in the first corner, despite what people say!

Nice of that bloke to punt the Lexus for you. :laugh:

[oddlycalm]

Thanks for posting them Scott. You should have received a submarine rating for that Lime Rock duty.... ;) Nice job catching them napping on the LV start. :thumbup:

Very nice, can't wait to show the boy.

And hey, they don't ALL have to be vids of you kicking eveyone's ***! ;)

Thanks!

[devilmaster]

And hey, they don't ALL have to be vids of you kicking eveyone's ***!

But the vids where he is kicking butt is probably a tiny group compared to the rest of the vids, and quicker to upload..... :D



j/k scott ;)

And hey, they don't ALL have to be vids of you kicking eveyone's ***!

Haha...Steve is right, I have far more ego-humbling videos than this. I'll get there, just give me time. Maybe I'll edit up a "spins" montage. Got an hour to watch? ;)

As promised, two of my, well, less-proud moments.


First at Lime Rock, forgot that the track narrows on the exit of the uphill, I guess: http://www.l2specialties.com/scott/lime%20rock%20swc%20spin%202.wmv

CA Speedway, BMW CCA race....what happens when two guys decide they're not going to brake first. Even if the traffic in front does:

I'd go with "the rear-end got light over the hump and just went loose on me".:D


Of course you can only use that excuse at tracks with humps.:gomer:

Nice vids,:thumbup:

[Kiwifan]

Thanks for sharing! :thumbup: Looks like you are having so much FUN. We are SO jealous. ;)
