FrontStraight.avi
Blackhawk Farms May 28, 2007, front straightaway. I was
surprised at how good my car sounds from outside (being
stock). Inside with the helmet and the wind noise, it doesn't
sound as good. Coming at you hear the high pitch whine of the
supercharger and going away, the exhaust.
Turn3.avi
Blackhawk Farms May 28, 2007, Turn 3. This is my
favorite turn on the track. It is a long sweeping right
turn. If you enter the turn correctly you can just about keep
it to the floor the whole time (hence the squealing tires).
ABN Car Spin Autobahn
Country Club, North Circuit , June 9, 2007. Car spins in
front of
me entering turn 2. Note: if this doesn't play when you click on the
link, save it to disk first, then play it.
BHF Slide (Blackhawk
Farms, June 23, 2007. I hit some oil going into turn 5 and
spun.
At least I didn't hit anything. Note: if this
doesn't play
when you click on the link, save it to disk first, then play it.
