FAMOSO Private Track Day Vid, Mustangs and Chargers/Challengers

**psfracer** · 08-23-2009, 06:27 PM

Went to the normal scheduled TNT on Friday night at FAMOSO, racing from 8pm to 12 midnight. I was going to go heads up with Trojan, the quickest Challenger in the country at around 10:00pm.

But as luck would have it, they had all lanes except 1 closed on the 5 freeway north out of Los Angeles to Bakersfield in Castaic. SO, none of us got to go heads up during the normal TNT (when they had two lanes).

BUT--we had already rented the track for a private session AFTER the TNT for some racing between 12:30am to 3:30am. This is a video I put together of some of those races.

Too bad to as Trojan's best was a 10.33 and my best was a 10.31---it would have been really close and who knows who would have won. Trojans car did also run a 10.19 with the tuning guru at the wheel though.

Even though the humidity was keeping everyone about 1/10th slower then normal, it was still a great time---anytime you have the track to only 15 cars your going to have lots of racing.

Here is the video:

I ended up running close to my personal best at a 10.31 vs my all time best of 10.27, so I was close. Ken ran into the 9s twice, and there was a Chrysler 300 running 11.40s--a Nova running mid 8s, etc. even with the +3000 DA (because of the humidity)

So my best 3 of the 7 runs were as follows:

10.317 @ 132.45 with a 1.489 60' and a 6.608 @ 105.69 1/8th (-.015 RT)
10.346 @ 132.78 with a 1.505 60' and a 6.637 @ 105.46 1/8th (-.009 RT)
10.392 @ 132.86 with a 1.504 60' and a 6.685 @ 105.75 1/8th (.113 RT)

Great vid as always paul

**Ken3030** · 08-24-2009, 02:18 AM

Thanks for the video Paul I had a good time even though it was the middle of the night.

**psfracer** · 08-24-2009, 02:37 AM

That is what made it so fun. Should have been two lanes though---next time we will make sure of that.

**Ken3030** · 08-24-2009, 02:56 AM

Yeah I agree so you can use the in car cam and get some great video of my car kicking your ass.

**psfracer** · 08-24-2009, 10:46 AM

Doh!!!

Ken - you ran with only one headlight to save weight??? ( at least that's what Paul says... LOL)

Chris06GT · 08-24-2009, 05:23 PM

LOL....

First day I was able to sit and watch the video.....Nice video as always Paul...

Ken and Paul's car run freaking awesome!!!

firestang70 · 08-24-2009, 06:18 PM

Excellent vid Paul. Thanks for sharing.

**psfracer** · 08-24-2009, 07:35 PM

Thank you all on the compliments of the video. If I had the footage, I could go really all out. Next time I am going to have a camera mounted on the outside of the car, facing rearward. I think that would give an awesome perspective of the tree getting smaller really fast.

Plus I can finally get Kens, Dons, Deans, and Adams car on video, since I am always ahead of them......
