Hope you enjoy this footage. Thanks to Mark for the upload.

Watch the speedo climb as I approach the end of the straightaways. Says near 80mph , but it's really 70.

Listen for the Hoosiers picking up the gravel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Layout is short warm up loop followed by two timed laps.
This stuff pumps me up. Listen for me tickle the rev limiter as it pegs 7k (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

I don't care what the V8 guys say (and this is coming from a BIG 4 guy as well).

You can't beat a six conversion once you've got it installed and hear that sucker running up to 7k RPM. Man, does it sound sweet.

Nice work!

Later,
Tom

Thanks. Mine is similar, and a bit concerned that it's kinda close to my head...

Motor sounds COOLL!!!!!

Uh, it's a bit easier to do that with a bullet cam. I did that once
last season, it was cool to take a hairpin and see right out the
side (and prove I was looking ahead).

Trekkor try compressing these files, you're going to blow up us
modem guys. I get around 10Mb/minute for web-posting.

Trekkor, that seemed to be a pretty fast course. Your six sounds SWEET. At some points i was saying to myself "Upshift upshift! Downshift downshift!" Looks like you took it pretty damn fast (hurrah!). Seeing the looks on some of the other driver's faces when you finished... i think they all shared the same thought... "How am I going to beat that time?"

I so want to mount a camera for my next A-X. Maybe remove the passenger's seat and mount it there as if it were the passenger on a tripod, bolted to the floor? You'll see the car tilting horribly, though.

Aha--the layout there started you out and sent you aaaaallllllll the way down to the back sweeper. My very first autoX had a similar layout, except I don't think there were any offsets on the way down.

A co-worker of mine was first car on course, and he asked me to ride along in his 911. I'd never even seen an autoX before, but I figured I knew what to expect out of a 3.0 SC. After all, I'd ridden with him on the street. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

He got to 3rd gear on that straight, and kept his foot on the floor waaaaaaaaay past where I thought he should have been braking. Scared the living shit outta me!! I really thought we were going to wind up in the ditch.

It was a whole lot more fun when I got to drive my own car... Except for that minor point about the oil light coming on...

Trekkor,
Thanks for posting this! It was worth the big download (I prefer a lengthy download of a high-quality video to a short download of a postage-stamp sized video). Car sounds GREAT.
