Well, not long ago I bought an SCCA T1 C5 Corvette...blew up the brand new Katech engine it came with (tune was leaned out + clogged fuel filter (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ), and have gotten 3 track days since I got the car now; the video is of my 3rd time in the car with a vintage group VARA running their Club Racer group..this was also my 2nd time on the track so I'm still learning it (on scrubs none less).

Full video here:

Congrats on the win bud, one of these days i'll post my vids!

Tip!

Take it up to the wall for T1 then let come down to the 2nd strip of track and don't lift until braking for T3 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

Thanks! This was also my first ever overall...not saying much since I need to drop a few seconds still but it feels good regardless.

Do you think I should be in 4th or 5th through it? Redline is about 7200, at the end of the straight I'm in 4th at about 6500 or a little higher, I imagine 4th because with the size of banking it'll slow me down too much if in 5th?

Oh, and I saw some pics of you guys out there the other weekend, how'd it finish for you?

Well I shift to 5th about 200ft before start/finish. But i run 3.73 gears and only put down 310hp but i'm wide open the whole way!

DNS on Sat, I broke the bellhousing & clutch in practice. 2nd out of 2 cars (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) with a Autozone clutch! That i broke also!
