Oct TWS post race media thread.

[GlennCMC70]

I got nothing guys. I do however have the post race weekend blues so post up thos vids asap!

[RichardP]

I don't have any videos. Just the reason the #82 was sidelined: driveline shock.


Richard P.

[AllZWay]

Well that is pretty ugly...

BTW.. Did ya'll race in the rain? I saw some really fast times... and some really slow times for various races.

[Tilton]

Race 3 started in a heavy downpour that tapered off until the race was over. Corey went for a wild ride coming out of turn 2 as did a few others. I'm looking forward to seeing some video!

[mach1]

I should have some good video of Dan and Michael going off in the rain race.

[Fbody383]

#82 was sidelined: driveline shock.wow... It would have been better for the collective good to loan you mine. Orange just wouldn't turn left. Good thing camera refused to work so I don't have video of everybody passing me at ease.

The R3 video makes it look like a spring shower... on the cool down lap I was in first gear, about 2 feet from the left track edge so I could see something. After Gary passed me and got 4-5 cars up, I couldn't even see his brake lights through the water/fog on the windshield.

Other notes from R3 - Michael and Dan tried an "alternative" line out of T1 - Mosty set a new CMC NASCAR section record and Dan had the highest recorded reverse wheel speed of the event, thus leading to post 2 above.

Oh, and the Stormtrooper sounds awesome with the exhaust flowing better.

[Al Fernandez]

I think it rained immediately in front of wherever my car was all weekend.

[Rob Liebbe]

On Saturday I watched races, saw a bunch of friends, drank beer, ate hamburgers, drank Jack and Coke, watched Aussie V8 Supercars destroy a track surface, passed out, locked Michael and Reagan out of the motorhome (Sorry!) then passed out again. On Sunday I felt much better (Hungry Caterpillar joke for those who remember the book). Then I drove Sean's 3rd gen, won DE4, we talked about some things it needs but overall it is a good car, taught him how to adjust the slack in his steering gear and then watched him pass Gary and Al on the inside of turns one and two in the fourth race!!!!

Good times.

[way2neary]

So does anybody have video of my dumb ass spinning out in turn #1 on race #3? Looking for orange #23.

Is there any "media" in the "OCT TWS post race media thread?"

Orange course there is now... http://vimeo.com/108859007

[MikeP99Z]

I'd like to see my "video bomb" of Corey's Late Model Restoration interview... ;)

[BlueFirePony]

Orange is fast but more impressive was consistent too. I also like the artistic use of rain drops as video transitions ;)

[MikeP99Z]

Grats on the win Marshall !! - well deserved in the rain.

[ShadowBolt]

David, at least your video does not show me hitting you. Those damn boys in front of me were wrecking at every corner. I am sorry for the contact. I thought you hit me and you thought it was me getting two off in turn two then jumping back on track. We were both wrong.......it happened in turn one and it was me moving over into you trying to not hit Al or Glenn. Good thing we have video.

JJ

[GlennCMC70]

Still think it was Al's fault he got punted.

[marshall_mosty]

Congrats to both Michael's for breaking the AI and CMC records in what might be the last TWS race ever... Well deserved. To Mike Patterson, I know you've been chasing that unicorn for many, many years. Coming close on Saturday was heartbreak, but catching it on Sunday I'm sure was a pinnacle event. Congrats guys.

I know that Mosty guy who broke the CMC record just got lucky. He was on 10+ heat cycle RR's, so he was actually at a handicap since they are dead after three heat cycles... :)

On that note my 15hc RR's felt pretty damn good on the front, the rears were stickers, I should have switched em front to back to see if it killed the balance of the car

[Fbody383]

Still think it was Al's fault he got punted.You would think that the guy that brake checked you would have the decency to stay on track.

[Dulaney]

That's the longest lasting almost-save I've ever seen! Even though I knew the outcome, I was still routing for Al in the video.

[Fbody383]

Even though I knew the outcome, I was still routing for Al in the video. Now you can rout (or root) for Al even more! From the magic of silicon and tiny, tiny bits: https://vimeo.com/108965954

Viewing Note: video should be up around 9:05pm CPT 10/14/14

[Dulaney]

Got my two videos up.

I really should've just pulled into the pits in R2, seeing how much smoke was there. I somehow thought it might get better. The straight-away proved me wrong. Good video of the contact with the SI car and Patterson, too.

Rob, thanks for the tips and help!

[RichardP]

That's a kind of offensive comment. Except I agree with it. He's on the brakes as he's swerving in front of Glenn. I doubt it was on purpose but it looks like Al did it on purpose. I don't see how it could be considered Glenn's fault. Except for the rule book thing...

Richard P.

[GlennCMC70]

Richard - No secret between me and Al about how I feel about it. He knows. He did cut down on purpose as he knew I was going to blow by him on the inside of 1. His move was to prevent that. I obviously wasn't on the brakes prior to contact like I thought. I don't think Al thought it was that close before he moved.

No big deal. I was there for fun. Sat was fun, Sunday sucked ass.

[kbrewmr2]

wtf was he doing?

That was a pretty sweet drift. Just need to stand on the throttle a little more. :D

[mach1]

Here is my terrible video of R3, the vis in the video was the same as for me, I was driving the track by memory, couldn't see a car until 20-30ft away, I'm happy to be alive!

[GlennCMC70]

Dead car update......
Went into the garage to start troubleshooting it. Fired right up. Code 42 is set. Testing needed. ICM on the "To Buy" list.

[marshall_mosty]

That's my super special stock Ford windshield treated with some $0.50 garage sale anti fog. I'll grab it when I'm at the shop this weekend and post the brand. I had never heard of it.

Nice, I hear baby shampoo works well, I got 2 in 1 cleaner/anti fog rainX applied 10m before the race, that may be my problem :-/

[Suck fumes]

I still don't know how Marshall drives with that go kart wheel haha

[kbrewmr2]

applied 10m before the race, that may be my problem :-/
that's exactly your problem - that stuff works ALOT better when applied dry. It's part of my pre-event prep.

[marshall_mosty]

I've just been used to it. It typically isn't an issue until I lose the power steering.

That needs to be on a T shirt!

[Trublu]

Race 4 first 3 laps before the rear end let go. Pulled it apart last night, inner pinion bearing failed (probrably too high pinion preload set). Should be fixed this weekend ready for ECR.

My wife showed me one that was on facebook. That looked like an interesting ride. I think Michael just wanted an excuse to run the oval.

[marshall_mosty]

Michael is traveling. Raegan shot it on her camera. Let me see if I can get it on YouTube.

I envied your vision through your windshield-then I saw Marshalls-his was so clear he passed me in front of the emergency vehicle.

[kbrewmr2]

Feel free to run with it if y'all want. It's one of those sayings that's been floating around for a while

Clearly not one of my better judgements. I should have know that on the out lap when leaving the pit road I almost lost it in T1. Then we get the green 4 minutes later and I think T1 has magically improved. I bet I went in a good 20 mph too hot. The car never even had a chance to get crossed up, the steering just did nothing and went straight off.

The video from the stands looked great, it appeared I was right next to Jay on track. Only we were 100 yards apart, haha.

RainKnowing you, I'm surprised you didn't just use a monitor on the rear camera and race in revers.

[GlennCMC70]

Yo, JJ, where da vid's man?

[Dulaney]

I'm at my wits end on the racecar's oil leak. Put UV dye in and ran it 10 minutes as the instructions said.
The underside is now completely orange. The inside of the bell housing is dripping wet, but so is the outside. Everything is coated in oil.

I guess I'll start with replacing the valley cover gasket (newest part on the motor). If that doesn't solve it, I'll go for the rear main seal.

I had a similar issue with the factory installed oil temp plug in my oil pan(canton, ford), it was hard to find but I finally got it. How many sets of eyes have you had on it after cleaning it vigorously and then firing it up? I may be able to swing by if you need another set of eyes.

[GlennCMC70]

Oil pressure sender on the top of the block behind the intake? They snap off pretty easy.

[Dulaney]

Only my two eyes. I welcome more. It'll be out of the trailer until late afternoon, then it gets re-banished. Out of sight, out of mind.

I checked the upper oil sender. If feels less wet than everything else. It is also working.

[marshall_mosty]

Lucky for me, that was my issue 2 years ago at NOLA. Thanks Glenn. Easy fix. Oil was coming down above bell housing. If from above, either that or valley cover is my bet.
