Infineon FV In-car Video

[VDF1]

Small bore Formula Car racing is alive and well on the west coast. Last weekend we had 12 FFs, 20 CFs, 4 F500s, & 22 FVs start the Saturday race:

Ian Sweeney won both hotly-contested races in his Crusader as 48 cars started the Sunday race.

Leroy, good stuff.

Nice pass on Marjorie going into turn 10, that took some courage.

Who is your motor builder? that thing is a monster.

Thank you Ron Chuck Engineering. He tells me that a few other of his motors on the west coast have about the same hp and a couple have a little more. I do love the way it sounds on video--not like a volkswagen at all.

Leroy,

thanks for posting this...great footage! Any chance you'll be posting race2?

Sorry, Ian, there was a malfunction and I didn't get anything. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to seeing my attempted pass of Jim Petrek heading into T11 on the last lap.

Awsome video! Looks like a hell of a track to run. Most 500's don't give much trouble, but don't you wanna send that select few for a trip through the weeds?!?

Thanks. Infineon is my favorite track. Turn Two, in particular, is a joy in a FV (the right hander at the top of the hill). When things are working very well it's a shift to 3rd only with no brake and then turn into a blind apex such that you get the right front over the curb just enough to not upset the car. Because the track levels at the top it feels as though the car is going to fly off the outside of the track--but it doesn't. Fun, fun!

I've posted several of my incar views because I've had so much fun watching other people's incar views of tracks that I know I'll never get a chance to run. Glad you enjoyed it.
