Video: Motorsport Ranch DFW, TX - W211 vs. Porsche

I finally got around to putting the footage together from track day. It was a blast and I'm hooked! Next time I'll get more film, I only had about 15 minutes worth to work with. I also need to figure out a way to not get all the wind noise on the video camera mic, it would have been good to actually hear the tires and engine working so well. Here's the old thread on track day for those who haven't been reading the forums lately. https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w211/159904-dfw-texas-day-track-10-21-a.html

I will be back! Enjoy....

Thanks. I don't know how fast I was going, honestly I kept my eyes on what was ahead rather than looking down at the speedo through the turns. I can say I ruined the edges on the new Conti 2's that were on the car, oh well.

csumt76: sig update to 11/5 install I've been told! The installer is making me drive around with sway bars in my trunk for almost 2 weeks! He's busy at work I hear..... I don't mind waiting though, he knows his stuff.

You are more than welcome to join next time, it was a blast, or at least I thought so......just one week ago I was on the track for the first time ever, now today I'm going out to look at a newly built second generation RX7 race car to use in the EP class of SCCA. I'm meeting the guy at noon today

www.cruisecam.com - I'm going to have an extra one for sale shortly. I paid for one on 10/3, they shipped 10/10 USPS Parcel Post and I still don't have that one yet and it's 10/29, hopefully one day it will arrive. Two days before track day, I ended up calling them and had to pay for another one and gave them my FedEx account number to o'night. Why anyone uses USPS Parcel Post I have no idea, they didn't tell me that's how they shipped.

The one with the "Braveheart" theme at the beginning....I don't know, it was on a burnt CD I had from 2002. PM me your email address and I'll send you the song if you want.

Mark, that's a fun bit of video. Obviously I missed a good time, but I've been chained to my machine shop lately. Thanks for sharing, and featuring your WHITE STAR Flat Badge in the opening shot!

Tell me about it! I was out at the track that day and started cruising eBay when I got home for possible track car candidates. Thankfully a home purchase this coming week has kept me from pulling the trigger! That day was a total blast and I know we all can't wait to go back out.
