Thunderhill car control [vid]

hey guys,
highlight reel from NASA Thunderhill CW "reverse" also referred to as the lil-red-nut.

track was wet on Friday but cleared up on Sat and Sun. That didn't mean the hilarity ended.

enjoy,

^^ 1. i wasn't intentionally getting out of control
just had more moments / minute of track time than usual at this last event.

2. didn't have any help creating movie, used super to convert to H.264 quicktime, file size is fairly large though for a ~60sec clip, its about 102 MB. Ive wanted to look into WMV10 encoding, those files are super small with quailty that is close.

3. 4pt is a Schrotch Ralley 4 ASM and it is installed in one of the approved configurations.

(points D + E)

Yes, I know this is not the safest track day configuration. IMHO its better than stock 3 pt though, Ill believe a TUV and DOT approved company over internet rumors anyday. Getting a a rollbar or full cage w/ Schrotch Profi II 6pt next year. This car is going to make a few treks up to tahoe before I make the back seats null and void.
