Pueblo Motorsports Park in Pueblo, CO, where Vishnu went during One Lap. It's an in-car vid I found from someone else in the event.

Setting: PMI 2.2-mile Road Course
Class: HPDE 1/2
Players: 06 STi (camera car), 03 Cobra that traps 119mph here in CO, and me

Note that I'm only allowed to pass on the big straight after turn 10, and the short straight after turn 8. Just a short vid that I found interesting - it mainly shows the importance of exit speed when entering a straight.

I now have a camera and will be posting my own in-car vids from now on.

Harassing a Cobra

 

damn, talk about in the middle of nowhere

i'm used to at least seeing grass or something, and having rumble strips on all corners

 

Looks like a fun little course ... what tires were you on?

 

Hahah, that's pretty cool.

 

lol nice.

I found myself yelling at the monitor for the camera car to go faster. @.@

 

Kumho Ecsta V710, and they got thoroughly thrashed. That course is known to be rough on tires, but I had no idea. Next time, I will rotate the tires between every session.

It is a fun course, though. 2.2 miles with 10 turns, a 1/2-mile straight and 1/4-mile pseudo-straight that has slight esses before a 90-degree turn without much runoff.

 

Holycrap you used the V710s on the road course! Bad choice man they would be gone after a few sessions as you found out. The compound is too soft for the track, they are for auto-x only. You should run a harder R-comp tire next time, Toyo RA1s, etc ....

 

who in the hell put that lousy music in the video!

 

They're not strictly for auto-x. I read up on it before purchasing them, and I already knew another Evo owner who used them for both. Even so, I planned on getting RA-1s, but then they were no cheaper than the V710s, so I just got the better tire. They may not last as long, but I'd rather have the better tire. So far, they've rocked out.

 

Warr, I'm planning on going to PMI on Thursday of next week (in case you can come out)

 

Can I run?

PM me the details either way, so I can work around my schedule. I think we have a lot to talk about from making power on the stock turbo to the suspension setup I may want to use next year. Let me know if you'll have time to spare during whatever testing you're doing.

 

Why do people insist on always putting bad music on track videos?

Nice seeing you bug the cobra Wurly. I should post a vid of us at Reno-Fernley, it kinda reminds me of this track.

 

I don't see why not, we'll just go on an open test day. I'll let you know when we settle on a day/time. There is always plenty of chat time whille the CSU guys thrash on the car (and I lounge ). They'll kill me when they read that!

 

Let me know. I need as much seat time as I can get so that I can hopefully graduate to HPDE4 later this year and get my TT license. I'll only have two official 2-day NASA events in which I can advance.

 

just to remind anyone who would like to come. I'll be running at PMI on Thursday the 27th from 11am-3pm. We'll get there earlier (around 10am) to get the car set-up. All are welcome and if you want to run it will cost $60 (and bring a helmet).
