We fought some brake issues all weekend, some shifter issues on Sunday. Still not too bad of a result for our second event with this car. We all got some good seat time, had plenty of fun.
There are clickable shortcuts to the highlights in the youtube description:
Dan in the Kawasaki Ninja powered Toyota MR2. Porterfield R4E brake pads glazed over enough by the 21:00 minute mark to boil the fluid in turn 7. No harm, no foul!
Highlights:
start = waiting through some yellows before getting by multi-race winning Cervesa
2:30 = Amazon MR2 shooting flames
6:30 = chasing down eventual race winning Porch Racing 944
7:15 = car ahead locks up in turn 11
9:30 = car ahead locks up into the booby trap
12:10 = a lap of heavy traffic (about 20 passes?)
14:50 = 666 camaro "muscles" through some cars
16:10 = southworst gets my lens dirty through the esses
19:40 = #65 RX7 drives by me like I'm standing still
21:20 = trip down the drag strip ends in a brake pedal on the floor and a nice safe runoff
24:10 = self reporting to the penalty box before heading to the pits to fix the brakes
26:45 = sweet yamaha 65 pit bike (speed video up for timelapse of the clouds and pit stop action!)
