VIR Full Course Video

[Doug Hilliard]

I ran the VIR Full Course Saturday with TrackDaze in the Green group. This is the full video from Session 3. I blew a tire on session 2 and had to switch to my street tires so the first lap or so is checking the traction situation. Hope to merge this with data from Harry's LapTimer latter but not sure how to do it yet.

Looks like fun man! Good job... Porsche driver had terrible lines!

[hagarr]

Loved it!
Thanks

[Doug Hilliard]

Thanks! Yeah, he should have been able to leave me badly in the twisties but was apparently really new at it!

[TCorzett]

Looks like you had a really good time. This makes me want to get back to the East cost to see how I'd measure up!

I couldn't stop watching. Challenger driver only slowed when someone got in front of him.
Good job Doug.

Very nice! I've been hearing a lot of good things about that track and eventually would like to get down there to get some run time in. Love the videos and it looked to be a great day at the track!

^ That track could be declared a national park! They take really good care of it.

Check out what the new owners did to this thing....

Thanks all; it was an absolute blast. The Challenger driver was very good; my instructor had him a couple weekends ago so we played a little back and forth...good for both of us. The track is amazing; I didn't realize what it looked like in 1998. What a transformation!

Damn looks like fun, maybe one day I'll get up there. I actually just purchased the same suspension set up as you minus the most of the bushings for now. Your car actually made me want them.

Looks like another great day at the track, Doug, losing a tire must have been interesting.
How was the bike ride? I assume you stayed on this time!

[Doug Hilliard]

Thanks Zodiac; it stays nice and flat in the turns now for sure. Brian, the Assault on Mt. Mitchell went well; stayed on the bike and finished with a personal best of 7 hours 41 minutes.

Awesome congrats on the new personal best.

Good run at the track. Looks like the car is doing great! Will be even better when you can ditch the extra 200lbs and run solo.

Thanks Rick; I may get to solo next time out. Better tires will help tremendously as well. Since I blew one of the RE-01's I've got to get another set anyway so I'm planning on a set of Toyo Proxes R888's slightly used and shaved to 3/32's. They should be pretty sticky.
