Not to worry, most of the turns were right handers which means the right wheel was mostly unloaded at the time. You're in good shape Link to post

I ended up running out of brakes into sugar and spice Had issues with car not getting full revs- would not keep up constant revs many times at ~ 7500, perhaps by pass valve needs tightening Also it would pop out of 4th or 5th gear sometimes. I contacted the guy I got the tranny from and he will exchange it. Now I have to figure out how to pack and ship a tranny. Here is a video from that weekend. I did not get my trackmate to work until the second day. I am not sure what lap was a 1:50 http://www.youtube.com/user/S2K4Me2?feature=mhum I posted another video from Day 1 Link to post
Shuka Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 From video, best laps from my first day on the track were around 2:02.

There is a video from the third session on Saturday, in two parts, here under the MSR-H Jan date. I don't know why it came out so grainy as it is in high resolution on the original. When copying it into FB it went from 1080p down to 280p. When I have a chance I will try to redo it. As for living in League city, maybe you have the wrong Al. I'm in Houston by Memorial park and my Esprit is black. Same guy? cheers Link to post

Nugget Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Please tell me you have video somewhere My favorite video of Al's 2-eleven is the one where I spent a bunch of laps trying to catch him so you get to see his whole car from my camera and not just his two front fenders. Mark and I meet the Lotus at about 3:30 in the video. I'm behind Al from about 04:00 until nearly the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr6EUyeA2A0#t=3m30s Orange makes you faster.
