Race #2 video!

Sorry for the long duration (11 mins), but there was a lot going on for those 11 mins! Watch to the end to see the slide shown in the still photo above...

Also of note: the temps for the weekend were in the mid-90's and my car did double duty with me and my son driving (often for back-to-back sessions) and I never saw any temps over the "0" in 180. This is with no center radiator and only one radiator fan.

One more note: My car is still 50lbs overweight. I am convinced that losing ground off of the corners is sometimes due to the additional weight (other times it is definitely that the other car simply exists faster).

Furthermore, for this weekend, the passenger race seat and harnesses (25lbs) were in the car for my son's time trial instructor along with my cool suit system (10 lbs) and I ran the fuel pretty high because we wouldn't have time to go and get gas between my race and my son's time trial session. Add it all together and I was around 130 lbs over the minimum weight. That's a reasonably large weight penalty.

Of course, I could easily lose 25lbs myself but ... but.... but...

Ok, enough talk. Here's the video. You know the drill (HD with sound)...
