NYSpeed Track Day #1 - Friday June 15th, 2007

If they havent been posted by now, they wont be, I didnt shoot any last time.

Am I the only one who posted pics? Cumon guys, I know there were more camera’s there…

I’m trying to get the video off this camera.

Of course, it’s just never THAT easy.

I thought I saw Josh out there with some video camera?

I swear everytime I came down the front straight it felt like a red carpet with all the people standing there by that white blob of random barrier-ness. Granted I wasn’t paying much attention to them, but it seemed like a lot of them had cameras of some sort.

I know mike and I both drifted the piss out of a few hairpins in front of Josh

+1 for WHERE THE FUCK ARE VIDS :wink:

I have tons of video, but I have NO time to edit them right now. Here are a couple vids from a digital camera I uploaded to google… nothing great but it’s at least something.

OMG the 1st video I was on 01AudiS4’s ass! Sounds sooo mean, both of us.

You are correct re: going fast(er)… BUT - the heat-transfer DOES also differ in hard braking vs soft/slower braking. Think of it another way: braking “longer” also means that not only are you transferring more heat thru the pads into your calipers/fluid from that big heat sink we call a rotor - but ALSO it’s less time in between braking applications for everything to cool down! Hence my comment re: getting your braking done as hard/fast as safely possible w/o upsetting the car. Obviously there are exceptions where you just brake to settle the car / get more weight on the front wheels (example, Lime Rock on the downhill before the bend into the front straight), but most of the time I feel this holds true.

You are thinking opposite of reality. You generate higher temps braking short and hard not long and soft, because the brakes are dissipating heat while slowly braking, while braking hard they do not have time to dissipate heat. It’s still the same amount of heat or energy, just dissipated differently.

you are still missing my point:

if you do the braking in a shorter amt. of time, less heat gets transferred into the fluid, and namely, there’s more time for it to cool. I realize the SAME amt. of heat is generated - you’re trading the same MPH for frictive and adhesive force - that was never my statement, to say that it was cooler.

^ word

the lack of pics is pathetic

I’ll shoot next time just so I dont have to hear you guys bitch.

Ok i saw like 20 people with cameras…where the hell are the pics?

I’m as pissed off as you Joe. WTF? Everytime I went down the front straight, like Silver said, it was just an array of people standing with cameras, aiming and stuff. This is pitiful. :frowning: :wtf:

X3

Someone lock this thread.

Why?
