Brought the car for the first time to the track. Havent been there in over a year with a car so it was a learning expeirence all over again...so my apex's were abit messed up. First run was my best, second run i clipped the edge of the track and lost traction but got it under control and the 3rd run i was low on gas (below 1/4) and i think it was causing fuel starvation because i would hit 4th gear on the back stretch and it wouldnt go past 6000rpm. Had an awesome time, they placed all the Evo's in one group (7 Evos....6 were X's) My best lap of the night was 70.3secs....correct me if im wrong local guys but the track is 1.5 miles long? My goals were simple... have fun, dont destroy the car, learn where the breaking point of traction on the car is and get under 72 seconds...i completed all my goals :rock:

Anyways heres some videos....

1st run...i think 3rd lap.

what caused you to slide? Just came in too hot?

one of my rear tires clipped the edge of the track, causing me to loose traction.

Are you on your stock tires?

Those are two sexy PB's in that pic :bowlol:

Loved the videos. I took a look through my GoPro footage and it wasn't easily noticeable on your exhaust, although you definetely hear the pop. What do you use as video editing software?

Can't wait for next time!

yes im on stock tires...lowerd them down to from 35psi to 30psi

I'm still trying to work out the kinks with my video software..the two programs i have done support .MOV files. So for now i open them with realplayer and "trim" them. Until i can find a free program that will convert my files to .avi or any other file that my programs support...wont be any good video editing.

Awesome vids! Looks like ill have to come up to Edmonton after Racecity closes in Calgary. Are you using a gopro?

no, im using the Drift Innovation HD170. Hopefully Castrol will open its track next year, its going to be longer then Stratotech.
