GC+RA

Post by revel »

the swapped GC finally saw its FOERST track event. since it was my FOERST time i entered as beginner. quickly found out that the GC is a good bit faster than most A4s, S4s, RS4s, and VW GTIs. there was one blue S4 that i could stay right on the rear bumper of throughout the front half of the track, but he had a better line from turn 7 to the back straight every time and it would take me the whole back straight just to catch up.....as long as everyone gave me the point by. i was hitting around 160mph on that back straight.....had to check with a few of the audi guys since there speedometer goes that high (my needle was buried well past the 180kmph mark after shifting into 5th). the GC handled amazingly. just wish i could have pushed myself a little further since i knew the suspension could handle it, but the CEL would start flashing, only on the back straight for some reason and it only lasted for a few seconds. so i never hit full throttle and was shifting around 6500rpms. so time for a retune so i can shift at around 7800rpms and hopefully solve whatever was making the CEL freak out. i now know how bad i need a set of harnesses and atleast a 5point cage. well heres a vid: sorry about the poor footage.....another reason for a cage-in car footage! next time.

enjoy.

If you guys have weekends free, you should really check out NASA's work to drive program. For every 2 trackday weekends you work, you get a free trackday. And if you have 4 workers going together, they pay for the hotel room too.

Check it

A whole slew of Clemson guys do this since the parking Nazi stole our lots for autocrossing.

Hopefully I'll be at least working at Barber in October. I LOVE that track.

Dang Tylorrr.... that was AWESOME!11 How did you like RA?!? Isn't it gnarltown?! I should have been up there with ya. That was my deadline weekend for Slide America, so I had to sit it out.

Next one for sure. I've been DYING to get up there for some grip action.
I would love to see how the e46 does out there just grip-style.

Quicktime h.264 works miracles. It will create a .mov file. I'm not sure if photobucket accepts the h.264 codec, but if so it's almost like magic how small the filesizes are! :)

Oh ps. In case you don't know, open the video that you export from FCP in Quicktime Player (which should have PRO enabled because you have FCP) and choose File > Export... Select Quicktime movie and set it to h.264 in the settings. Easy as pie! You can also adjust your size there if you wish. I would do that instead of letting photobucket or whoever resize because they suck.
