Hi All-
We qualified today for the California Speedway National. Ended up 12th on the grid, highest of all the open wheel cars behind the FA's. The field is 31 cars deep and the majority of the field is DSR, FA, CSR, S2, FC in about that order.
I've never even seen this track in the flesh before until this morning. We missed all of the open practice yesterday due to rain (haven't spent the $$$ for those yet). My only track time here was spent watching a YouTube video in-car from a Radical CSR last night which I must have watched a few dozen times....I was surprised how much I got out of that. I felt pretty good about my qualifying effort, the race should be even better.
I had the GoPro camera mounted but it quite running on lap 3....I think the g's from the high banked oval got to it because the video around the banking looks weird. I'll post it later tonight maybe.
This is really a fun track, 21 turns 2.88 miles and a longgg straight up to a high banked oval which is super fast and no lift I might add. Fast time was Radical CSR @ 1:39.8 my time 1:46.4....sure I'm at least 3 seconds off what I should be.
More to come
Gary
