A little longish at 16 min's but plenty of action/passing. A split start from 14th place overall and finish in 4th Overall. Started 2nd in Formula Atlantic Class & finish 1st of the (4) FA-PFM's (Pro Formula Mazdas). Nasty dust & minor off track episode on Lap 1, then some nice, precise driving to move up (10) places Overall. Thanks to Greg, Vince & Tom for nice clean fun racing.

Sun I start from 10th and slip by an F3 in T2 for a cushion to Ed and John behind him. Then after a re-start I get by (2) other F3 due to a minor spin/off-track by them. (7) laps later (1) of them (Jay) catches & passes me so I end up in 8th Place overall and 3rd of (8) in class. I drive fun solid race but relatively quiet for the most part.

Great racing with John & Ed until a "silly off-spin" with about 3 laps left. I started 12th and finished 20th....(wrong direction) but really close running with, passes back & forth until the off. Sunday results are quite a bit better but not as entertaining for the spectators.

Embarrassing....1st time in 10 yrs / 130 events / 500 sessions.......I spin going from the grid onto the Track....go from 14th to Last (34th). Then regain start position on out-lap, .....then get black flagged....then start last again.....then pass 15 or so cars.....onboard camera quits.....a crazy session and "dumb race" by me!.

      Video from a Contour Camera (any will work) Use AIM Solo Data Logger in car (others are compatible as well). After race, Download, Import Data & Video from whatever sources into "Dashware" Software tool (GoPro owned). In it you can select from multiple displays, gauges, track maps etc and SYNC the video-data to produce the final product. Note: Most cameras produce some data now & it can be used if preferred. AIM is more complete & flexbile.

    Nice video. It would be helpful though in the future, to check with your fellow racers before you express your opinion about their driving style in a video about them. I had to retire from the race in the very next lap due to a malfunctioning steering rack which made making left turns exceedingly difficult. Fortunately my crew chief was able to retrieve a spare rack that night and installed it the next morning so I could at least complete the next day's race.

    Hey Robert, Wild man here. Solid driving. It was my first weekend in this FE2. I'm use to sliding around a little in SRF3 as I've been in that series for a couple of years. In general I'm not trying to race you but keeping up with my own group. While I finished 5th I set the 3rd over all fastest time in FE2 on lap 16. Lap traffic cost me 4th at the least. In these cars you cant see anything unless they are side by side. Keep that in mind when popping on the inside. So much focus goes into the guy or pack ahead of you to match their cadence looking for an opening so unless you show a dominate side by side view we would never know you were around. See you at Willow Springs?

    • @SuperVeeRacing
      @SuperVeeRacing 4 года назад

      Laughing...I was wondering if you would see / hear the little "dig". Smile - I had traffic issues too! You! ...laughing. Fri & Sat Qualifying I was getting in the 1:44's and "best sectors" were indicating at least 1:43's so I was hoping to chase those (2) really fast FE2s, doubt I would have passed them but thought I might be able to pressure them. You probably not aware of all that....but we both would have been better off if I had "towed you" up to them. We lost a lot of ground fighting with each other (me with the 2 other FE's) as well, so too late by the time I got past you guys. We probably should have "worked together" from the beginning....next time!.....laughing of course I might have towed you off track down in Star Mazda as well which I did to myself, no help from anyone. We are skipping Willow Springs, going up to Thunderhill (Mar) and Laguna Seca (April) with the Formula Car Challenge series. Have Fun!!

      Use a data Logger, in this case an AIM Solo or Solo 2. After the race you exportan "CSV" file of the data. Then I use a $50 software called "Dashware" to synchronize the data with the video file. Dashware allows you to use various cameras and data "loggers" ...does not have to be an AIM or GoPro or Contour. I happen to use and AIM Solo with a Contour Camera.

    Dennis was always fast at the Speedway. I clearly recall him jumping into one of the Patrick Wildcat's at the last minute for qualifying. Yeah it was a good car but Dennis instantly acclimated to the car and put in solidly in the show. He had a sure top 5 going until breaking but still getting 10th. I think one of his best efforts was in 84 when he took a 1 year old March and got it comfortably above 200 and getting it done vs a field of mostly newer 84 chassis. That was very impressive to me! The 81 eagle with that milodon chevy was an absolutely beautiful car. Its awesome to see it fully restored.

      +Genoshorts *** Geno it is pretty easy, I use "DASHWARE" to synch the video with the run data downloaded from an AIM Data logger in *.csv format. That provides the track map, speed, etc, even RPM and Speedometer if you data tool collects it. Then I use Microsoft Movie Maker to edit the integrated video. End to End about 2 to 3 hour process depending on how fancy I get and use of external video or snapshots.
