South Oval Vids

[JimsLS1]

Please contribute if you have any good ones. Maybe Steve can share his meeting with the tire wall(s)? Sorry, too soon?

This is a spin in 3.

No one was hurt, so not too soon.

I kept hearing all weekend was "South oval for your first TT? This'll be fun". You know what? It was fun.
Accelerometer isn't working properly, but the timing is OK.

Steve, glad you are ok! Nice to see that those tire bundles seemed to just slow you down instead of a much more sudden stop.

What a great event. My passenger seat was occupied almost all of day one with hot lap ride-alongs. I felt like an amusement park operator. Here is one of my best solo laps. This lap was on Nittos and what turned out to be a completely toasted front left wheel bearing. Pretty pleased with this lap for the tire I was on:

Steve,
So the brakes went into "ice mode" and stayed locked? Were you in Race mode or Sports mode?

[Stamanti]

I was in ptm: sport 1.

Either ice mode, or some other abs misapplication /failure.

[CalypsoBean]

Steve, I hit that tire wall myself two years ago, a little slower. It sucks - glad you are ok.

TT laps... slow city.

I was wondering how that dirt got there!

[joncowen]

Wow. Vic is a mad man. Awesome!

[JimsLS1]

Thanks for all the vids! I was wondering who send that sod onto the track too! Here's my 1:17 from the morning session - I come in too slow on the oval every time and blow the lap! I'm on 315 square NT01s and still too scared to step off the brake. D'oh!
