Carpocalypse NOW! #666 Sears Pointless Photos and Video

Ugh, youtube has been giving me fits. But I think I got some working. First, check out this sweet pass by the sharks!

Here's the first bunch of green flag laps from Saturday morning. Watch the Eyesore Miata get a great jump on the green flag while the rest of us are all sleeping during the 20 minutes of full course yellow. I let them by, but wouldn't let them go far...

EDIT: I swapped the second link with the same video hosted by vimeo, which doesn't have the audio sync issue. vimeo > youtube except for the upload limit. I might just make a bunch of different accounts so I can upload faster than 500 MB/wk.

That 2nd video was badass! And if you put a "1" in front of your speed, it looks just like formula 1!

Very interesting.  Having all that information to wank over would make us winners for sure.  Or not.

Yeah that was tongue in cheek about the sharks. It actually seems like he either lost his brakes or had locked a wheel or two. Had no chance of making that turn, even if he didn't bounce off any cars.

Radios are good.

Okay,  that was me(Clay) in the Shark.  I did push it a bit, and felt really bad about it all the way around that next lap, worrying that I caused a crash in that turn.  Thank goodness there wasn't one.  That is not my style, bump and run.  Sorry guys.
  This all started while coming out of 9a.  I was following the Death Cab's bumper, as we had been dicing for the last 2 laps.  But as I exited the second turn of 9a, on the outside, the Carpocalypse Eclipse dive bombed me, nearly hitting me and would've pushed me off course.  I had to brake and lose all my speed, line and set up pass on the V8volvo Death Cab.  I know you have that video.
  So, I was pushing to get back up behind Dean in the Death Cab.  You can hear me blast the blow off valve 3 times to announce my presence on the inside line.  Then you can see that the Silver Saab cuts across Deans nose, causing him to over brake and I couldn't get my tires to grab in time.  I had to steer through. It was all I could do to avoid something worse.  Again, my apologies.
   Sorry to all involved and glad everyone made it out of it okay.
FYI- I had made that same inside move all day, with great success. 
It was DEAN, he brake checked me.   That guy!!!   Just kidding!!

  Fricking awesome camera!!!!  I want one!!!

Dan--"Clay, wasn't trying to drag your name in the mud at all. No doubt about the 9a shenanigans either, I'll try to grab a clip of that in your defense. In the end, it was no harm no foul. Our driver probably needed to take a few deep breaths and chill out a little anyway."

Thanks Dan.  Didn't think you were.  I should've taken a breath as well.

Keep the videos comin!!!

Thanks

Here's a video of my first black flag in 5 races...

You might say I was "encouraged" to go 4 wheels off and into the wall. Thanks for the encouragement! I think it says "Don't Be A Dick" on the back of his car too.

We can be credited with much on track douchebaggery, but I have to say taking the inside line when the door is wide open doesn't seem so douchebaggish to me. There was a love tap late in the pass which was not so good. Dunno why there was contact earlier from the car on the outside. Maybe they turned in without looking.

I will say that as much as they love to do it, when Clay in the Shark and Dean in the V8olvo are scrapping, the chances of the Shark going 4 off go up about 50,000%.
