Here is a video from last weekend's racing at Buttonwillow. This is the second race on Saturday where I started at the back. Comments are embedded in the video as usual. Enjoy!

I miss BSRs and especially BW

If you speed up your hands at turn in you can get the car to rotate and let the rear of the car do some of the turning for you!

Seems like your shift cables might need adjusting at trans re the issues with shifting - I had a bought of that I had to fix.

Is that blue SPB in the video a TuneRS car?

Thanks for the comment, I use that technique quite a bit at some other tracks but haven't tried it much at BW. I'll see what I can do with it at my next visit.

I'd love to blame the shift cables for my problem, but this one was purely operator error!

To the best of my knowledge, the blue Boxster is an ex-HRG car (Hergesheimer Racing Gruppe in Lake Forest, CA), but I could be wrong.

There is nothing like a cup of coffee and your video first thing in the morning to get the day started. So cool. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Chuck!

Working on the Race #3 video right now. Since I went to three cameras, the editing is taking me a little bit longer. Should be ready in a couple of days...

Optional request - can you flip your rear view so that it is like what you would see if you were looking in a mirror? To my brain it seems easier to tell what is happening.
