NASA Spec Focus at Mid-Ohio - Focaljet

Some photos from the Spec Focus race last weekend, you will see Chris Kinser in the blue # 25, Tom Lyman in the Yellow # 69, Jack Baruth in the Red #68 and myself in the black #67. Had a great time in the race with all. Also Jeff Sleeperlove in HPDE 3 and Andy " Slank Daddy " in HPDE 4

It appears these cars are pretty good in the braking zones. At least better than the neon.

Here is another one for you guys this is what happens when someone spins in front of you and you hit your brakes.

You can brake waaaaaaaay deeper in 7......

These videos look strangely familiar

I had a few folks videotaping from the Esses - perhaps I can put the outside videos, my video, and Leo's video together to provide an idea of people of what it's like to race in this class.

The resolution in the "crash" video isn't very good, but at slow speed you can see my right hand hit the dashboard while my helmet keels over. The good news is that my neck doesn't hurt very much any more!

I checked out your pictures and 1 was very interesting to me. It seems that the black ZX5 was sporting Hankook Z214's, what's the deal???

Andy was doing some testing.
