You notice alot of picts with cars getting inside wheel lift in T4. I have been working hard on avoiding this by braking almost to the apex instead of early throttle at turn in.

I was suprised to see this -- certainly couldn't feel it. There must be tons of grip on that left rear wheel. I suppose braking later and trailing through would help keep some weight forward, but that is compensating for the real problem which I'm thinking is not enough rear spring rate...There is a lot of compression on that left rear.

Darren, you asked where I get .5 secs a lap on you and I think this where.  I  LFB in that turn until the car wants to spin.  I am at least two more feet into the apex by doing so.  Fortunately PSM won't allow you do that so your screwed!!! Wahhhhh.

Mike great these are some shots! I really like how your images depict the sensation of speed versus a real high shutter stopping everything. Great compositions too.



Got any shots of ME!?!?!?

Jim,

To get the blur we need you to drive faster. hock: I will post a pic of you tonight.

I will be practicing the blur technique at the Glen on Monday and Tuesday. I just need Brian to drive faster than 120 mph. Maybe the wildlife is attracted to his red car, just like a bull is attracted to the moving red cape at a bull fight.

Yeah I know for sure that some people can make a few car lengths on me coming out of T4. Kenny gets me about 2.5 car lengths there.

The only time I was lifting was when somehow...my sticker hoosiers ended up with 50 psi in them...ehem...

I didnt get the problem on the cup sports...but still...looks damn cool anyway!


BTW Bob...I had a GREAT time following you and that was probably one of the best things Ive done for quite some time...you taught me alot!

I will give you 135 at the top of the esses. Thats all she's got.

Actually I think you might want to slow your shutter speed to lose some of the "STOP ACTION" effect you are getting.

I will however endeavor to get faster JIC.

Jim, take the license plate off the car at the track (put it on your "do list"). Replace it with something offensive for guy/gal behind you (Chris would approve). The people that have any interest in seeing a plate at the track usually have their own cameras.

When I first started track driving, I thought it was cool to have a three wheeler until a pro driver ripped me for it: "Yah, I find using all 4 wheels works better for me. Try it some time." :?

Sounds like we might need another thread for suggestions, although it might turn out to be a "self inflicted wound" when "BLEW BY YOU" is turfing it up!
