Yessir! Up until I scare the heck out of myself

[comethead]

That looks like a blast! Car sounds great...bet that Falcon surprises a few out there as you chase/pass them.

I believe you’re right! The patina throws them off a little
To be honest that Daytona coupe and Cobra should be running around that track faster than my Falcon. The driver just doesn’t trust the car or himself yet. Once you do then you really start moving fast. Im not sure how much HP my 302 is putting out but I’d say around 300hp. Not enough! The weight of the car is my saving grace.

You got my brain werrin! Theres a new road course built, Area27 I think its called around Oliver BC,, I need to be there!
Well my brain wants to be there,,,,.
Joe Im really jealous that looks like too much fun for an old racer, although I'd have trouble waving someone by,,, earn it!
Lol
Yes the weight, I think my Falcon circle tracker was 2600? with me and fuel in it. The class was limited by a small tire and stock cast iron 2bbl in and out so the 350 Cameros could hussel my outta the corners but my corner speed would wear them out.
Joe, the mirror is in my way!
Enjoy!

I gotta have a mirror Fred!
Next time Ill mount the camera to the windshield for an unobstructed view just for you.
On the passing, basically if someone is on your ass (like I was with him) you’ll get a blue/yellow flag saying allow passing. He got the flag twice and didn't wave me by. Then he gave up and gave me the pass wave on the front straight. That’s pride messing with him
Since its an open track event and NOT a race they want us to play nice and allow passing when you know you can’t keep up in the corners. And no corner passing allowed. Some of those cars are very expensive classics

Was buggin ya, understand about track days and the mirror.
I do like to see your input on the swheel though.
Thanks for posting the vids!!

Didn't realize how much skating you're doing in those tighter turns

It’s mounted to the roll cage with a clamp. I think its the camera doing that movement not the clamp. I dunno

A little hard to tell w/ loud exhaust note. May be some resonance from the headers @ low rpm?
Hands only crossing once when you went in high, may be my imagination

Nice job! Looks like Daytona guy has a tendency to apex too early
