this is a proper track event vid
 

i want a escort rs so bad!

Wow

Isn't that thing in front a Cosworth Escort RS.

Driver's a madman...but I'd be doing the same shit.

when are you going to post proper vids of YOU at a track event man?

the one in front and the car the vid is being taken in are both Escort RS's. the dude in front is driving the fuck out of that car!

AWD FTW!

I believe so. With either way too much rear brake bias, a wanna be drifter in the driver seat, or a maniac in the driver seat. I believe it was a combination of all three.

I was purposefully using all of the track at my last track day, putting two wheels off every time as I unturned out of a hairpin. I didn't even notice I put 4 wheels off once and they flagged me in.

"Are you ok?!? You put 4 wheels in the dust!"
"I did? Can I go back to racing now?"

Where the hell were these guys' flaggers!!!?

Maybe Sunday if Matt lets me borrow the gaypro.

Holy crap talk about using all of the track. I got a spec miata vid like that...let me find it.

I like when I see modified cars driven like that on the track, it gives me hope.

Here is some more hope for you Hustler. The launch and the sound are amazing. This guy has some balls.

I know that vid...and it still doesn't change the fact that most racecars are build by engineers and mine was assembled by a half-drunk bureaucrat.

this dude has balls!

Yes. Most males do have testicles. Thank you for your observation:giggle:

:facepalm: i set myself up didnt it!

this one is pretty good too.

love'd all those vids but keep em comin!

"I was 7th" lots of passing but in a funny way lol the lady starter



For the track guys these are good for serious vids

Spec Miata Videos

Pro3 race. Spec E30 for you east coasters. Take note of the brake pads flying out of the car =P

Also note our beautiful pacific northwest scenery :)

hahahahah that was great!

Back on topic: track events- now that OP vid is what I'm talking about. Even though the lead car was unmanageable and/or poorly driven, it was fun.

it looks like an HPDE event, that's pretty fucked to be driving like that. notice how fast he's not...

gentleman's racing rules > getting a point like a bitch

he should have let them pass, he nearly took them out a few times when they were quicker in the corners. his line was horrible.

i remember trying to catch an evo once, i was faster in the corners but i had nothing on the 1/2 straight, the more aggressive i drove, the sloppy i drove and the slower i was, i never ended up passing him cause I was trying too hard. The dude in the video doesn't even have anyone to pass, he's just a slow aggressive driver.

mirror racing fail. I've been there, done that, but every damn time Gary/TDR is behind me I go into poser mode and get sloppy. MUST NOT ACCEPT BEATING FROM ICONIC SUPERCHARGED MIATA!!!!!

I don't mind when the competition races the mirror...it adds to Miata glrory.

haha. fine.

I never even look at the cars in front of me, there in my peripheral vision, but I look 2-3 car in front of them. I also try to stay 2-3 cars back, as it helps with overtaking becasue you can get a run on them. Nothing worse than the guy in front checking up in a corner.

you can see the dude follows the shitty line a few times and screws up.

Was he hand braking into the turns?

Oh and hustler I am gonna bring my gaypro to ECR if you want to borrow it for a sesh or two.

On the first vid: does anyone's BOV here sound like that? I may have to swap mine out to something like that until it got on my nerves. I fancy myself a rally driver.

On the spec E30 vid, what track is that?

its called don't use one, or in the least tighten yours too much.

It looked like he started with prop valve set to the rear too much/trail braking too much then added over heated greesy tires.

I like when his motor starts to smoke too.

I've been told I came very close to being black flagged when it was looking like I was about to pass someone in the turns. I never follow their line but do follow very closely. Otherwise they don't expect me to be fast on the straight so they don't let me by. Great story huh.

I agree, slow aggressive driver, but it still looks like he's having lots of fun. Short course too, only 60 second laps.

This is why I love Hallett. I was driving John's naturally aspirated miata in a session a couple years ago and I was all over some dude in a supercharged miata was holding me up...so i ran door to door with him into the corner, held mine line, and made the pass. They're reasonable there...at the tracks in Dallas we get in trouble for passing more than 2-cars per straight, my record is 5, lol.

They're sticking all the first-timers in a god damn lead/follow group so we'll be in the same group. Thanks though.

the first vid is pretty shitty in every aspect.

i have a video from hallett that needs to be edited and uploaded. I chase down a guy in a 250whp miata and ride his ass for a whole session, as he won't let me by. The next session, I catch him, stay behind and get around him. He tried to ride my ass, but after 2 laps, couldn't keep up. I thought he was a dick on the track, but a cool guy in person. He had everything done to the car except suspension because his wife drives the car. All my car has is suspension and lightness. Interesting comparison.

less yapin more posting vids, i wanna see this!

:jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::j erkit::jerkit:

I'm selling your miata on Forza for this shit.

The guy from the first video driving pisses me off.

Hey look if they were really racing than blocking is part of racing too.

I race with my instructor in the car too, to give me all the tips.
