was that a B 210 that passed you on lap 2?

Also, what was that red lovely that shot by towards the end?

Another question-what was that thing on your windshield, the light I am assuming was a shift indicator, but what else does it do? Just curious

That's a yellow P510 (sounded great too!). The red beauty was another Z OH unless you mean that Cobra thing

Cool video!!

Open mouth, insert foot.

It didn't sound/look like a cobra, IMO. I thought it might have been a little Italian job (Fiat, Alfa) or a Datsun Roadster. And yes, the red Datsun was truly a lovely, as well.

Have to agree that has to be a little Alfa or Fiat... I'm thinking an Alfa Spider... That's definitely the sound of a little Italian 2L 4cyl I'm guessing. Certainly not a Cobra - for starters it's way to small and you would recognize the V8 as it drove by.

On the windshield that looks like a GTech Pro meter...

...aahhh good old Thunderhill... Man I miss that place... Haven't been there in like 6 years... Still looks like a great track though.

OK OK Guys, my sound card isn't working at the moment - no, really!! :stupid:

Definitely not a Spider or a Datsun Roadster though. Both are not that curvaceous. More like Austin Healey but the tail lights are too high. Think I'll just wait until lww replies.

The yellow car was a very fast 510.

The little red number is an Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite. It's setup as a full race car with full road race slicks and it weighs about 87 lbs...

It was ridiculous when I was trying to follow him in a different session. He has a complete disregard for the proper racing line. It just doesn't matter to that car.

The flashy thing on my windshield is indeed a GTech Pro RR. I didn't realize it was right in the middle of the frame until I downloaded the video from my camera when I got home.

Also, someone stepped on my panoramic mirror so the cool peripherial view I wanted was reduced to a small reflection of a part my helmet.

looked like you were having fun. Your gearbox and possibly your rear end gears were not set to run that track...as demonstrated by that yellow 510.

I have to get up there with my 2000 roadster....I can go after that little bugeye sprite and teach him a thing or two about racing Datsuns

Hey Ron,

Yeah, I should have had the 4.11's or the 4.38's in, but I was pressed for time the night before and didn't have time to switch out the 3.70's.

That 510 is in a completely different class and has a boat load more power and significantly more beefy brakes.

I was completely out of brakes by turn 9 on the first lap and everything after that was managed purely by momentum and engine braking... :stupid:
