There is a clip that snuck in of the 358s (sorry). Curt, don't take this video, I will make a separate one for you guys.

Sweet. Glad you got that close in 3-4. I guess we were flying in W/U's! We'd go back in a heartbeat for sure, I don't care how boring it would be to watch.

The Dozer is the videographer for this video, I couldn't make it to the track. Thanks from ME to the Dozer for getting the videos!!! :cool:

Im a rookie at taking videos as you can see.

I wasn't going to say anything, but since you brought it up... ;)

anyone know what speeds you guys were hittin there ?

had us at mid 80's overall. so 100 at the end of the straights would be possible

I wanna say we were going even faster than that i remember earlier in the year running New Egypt speedway mylaps had us averaging in the mid 90's there and i had an extra took off my rear gear running Williams grove.

Hey I never said I could opperate a camera well. If I had it my way I woulda been out on the track with you guys. It looked pretty damn fun to run, not only that ITS THE GROVE end of story...

:mad: Is anyone else having problems with the video loading??? :mad:

After doing the calcs, about 110 on the limiter in 5th gear assuming the tire grows about 2 inches in diameter

Not bad for a rookie Dozer.

simply awesome!!

Anyone know what kind of lap times they were doing?

22.5-28 s laps from what I remember.

The fastest lap I got was Jimmy Brookens at 22.23 - he was consistently .2 seconds to .4 seconds faster than anyone else that led a heat out there on my Robic.

Given the difference in the size of the tracks and lengths of the straights, 110 mph is not unreasonable for a top speed. At Susquehanna we ran 93-95 mph on the revlimiter with no allowance for tire growth.

he was pretty quick. We woulda been there in the heat if we were shifting. In warm-ups, Brian was running flat-out in fifth, no lifting. I got a 22.0x one lap. Would really love to try it out again.

according to this online calculator http://www.geocities.com/ismaracing/garage.html?200511?200512?200822?200824?200828 The average speed for a 22.3 second lap on a 1/2 mile is 80.71 MPH.
It must be fairly accurate because Knoxville's 410s run 15sec 1/2 lap and average 120MPH

You guys are running in 5th gear..? We run a big 4/10 almost 1/2 mile in Tucson, in 3rd gear with a 9.98 final , straight-a-way speeds close to 115-120 mph. Its flat to the floor all the way around..:)

I know out there i had a 13 47 gear on the car in 4th gear not shifting which is a 9.91 final ratio and i was touching the limiter on the backstretch so we had to be going pretty quick

quick calcs..

tire 70 inches
rpm 15400
gear 9.91

mph 103

Rohan what about

tire 70
rpm 16200
gear 9.84

tire 70
rpm 16200
gear 9.84

mph 109

and...

tire 70
rpm 15400
final 9.62

:)

tire 70
rpm 15400
gear 9.62

mph 106

Hypermotive beat you by 3 m.p.h haha

But 3 tenths behind us in lap times...ouch ;)

Nah, you looked good out there. We we really disapointed we couldn't battle it out in the feature. Maybe they'll give us another shot next season.

:mad: Where's the video

On the very first post. Worked fine for me.

Were you guys running flat out or did you have to lift going into the turns?

The faster guys were flat out, most shifting. Others were running it like it was a 1/4 mile track, lifting and to the bottom. If you kept the car free, it was on the second-third groove up, and no lifting.

wow! that looks like it would be so fun. Are they planing on doing it again in 09?

Wow! That must of been a rush. Are they planning on doing it again in 2009?
