Chuckwalla Valley Raceway Clockwise
26-Feb-2011

Moving to Florida, so this will likely be my last day - at least for a while - at Chuckwalla. Gave it my best but came up short of the production car track record.

This first video is short. I catch up with a Ferrari 458 Italia and Lotus Two-Eleven. They blow me away on the straight... catch up again... Lotus spins out of the "bowl"... haha

This video is me trying for the Chuckwalla track record... The best I managed was a 1:57.761 on Hoosier slicks... That's a couple seconds better than my previous PBT of 1:59 running counterclockwise on Nittos. CCW is typically 1 sec faster than CW at this track.

Everyone was running 3-10 seconds slower than usual due to high winds and sand/silt blowing on the track. I'm sure I could have done better with a cleaner track... Oh well! Also, around the 10:15 mark I drop my left rear tire off of turn 3 and you can see the course record holder Z06 car get by me (he ran a 1:53ish on full slicks). In the drop, I cracked my Forgestar wheel and blew out the tire - had to limp back to the paddock

Here's another vid for posterity - switched back to Nittos... slooow! lol... had started to rain

FORTHCOMING

Great videos and driving. Sucks about the rim and tire but I guess that's the name of the game. Time for the supercharger so the Italia can be firmly trounced :).

Thanks! yup, stuff breaks at the track... frustrating but can't get hung up on that kind of thing... gives me an excuse to keep more spares around! :)

I'm trying to hold off on supercharging as long as possible!!!!!!! :bowrofl:

Yeah, but seeing DIY builds like Liquid_G's make it so enticing!

I love watching these.

Good luck with the move!
