2 laps with Chris Foley and Tangerine Racing, SCCA regional event at Limerock Options

[turboman808]

I have not had time to edit my stuff this week but for now just a few laps in a 914 with Chris from Tangerine Racing behind the wheel.

Open cockpit filming was new to me but I learned a thing or 2. Lens will get damaged and the sun shines right into the camera!!! No roof or windshield got me!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

This is the HD version. It won't play on slow machines.

Thanks for posting this Nathan.
My in-car from Friday didn't turn out as well. The camera has a spot in the center of the lens (on the inside) from using it in the rain a few weeks ago and I forgot to cover the microphone so the sound is much worse than from yours.

Len, I had to be very deliberate in my shifting but had no real trouble in the race. At least the box did not tighten up at all as the race went on.
Lime Rock is deceptive in its simplicity and takes big balls to extract maximum performance from the car there. The lack of runoff exiting the fast corners is definitely intimidating to many people.
In a FP car lowest speed is about 65mph in the lefthander and the diving turn is taken at 90+ if you have confidence. At the end of the front straight I saw nearly 7K rpm in fifth (V gear) which translates to about 115mph. The FP lap record is close to 92mph average speed. My best lap was 86+mph average last weekend driving somewhat conservatively and my best lap in the Tangerine is a tick below 90mph.
