Got a couple full race long videos from Eagle's Canyon out NW of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Pretty fun track, if they would repave it I would dare say the track itself is more fun than Barber Surprised

race 1:

watch the rear view mirror at the top of the screen... got the lead and held it, though it was hotly contested damn near the whole time. Almost threw it away last corner last lap too... Angry

race 2 (prob a little more interesting):

start wasn't as good, proceeded to battle the same RX7 but this time with myself in pursuit. Had my spot picked out to pass on the last lap but... AngrySad
Nice racing Ken.

Nice spin Ken Tongue

What happened? You were doing well until then?
I was getting killed up that corner all day long. First from not going fast enough, then fighting to find a good spot to apex that used the whole track but wasn't so early that I fought being offline late in the corner, then fighting with inside wheelspin when I tried later in the corner with the apex. That one was just plain too much entry speed though as I was pushing to be a little closer for a last lap pass. That bit of extra speed pushed me wide and offline on the dusty stuff at exit, started to step out but still had it held until the left rear dropped off the road.

I'm almost proud of myself for catching it with just a 180* spin like that. Wish I had data to know for sure but I bet I was going backwards at the better part of 60mph Surprised
