Much of that video was done Friday night when the track was nice enough to Let Aaron Pfadt and the video guy to go out and do low speed driving around the track to get video.
Aaron Pfadt ran the car in TT a few sessions to help with setup input and I raced the car. There were up to 4 or 5 cameras on the car all weekend, so the at speed video will have both Aaron and I driving. They are editing the long video with interviews with the all of us as we speak, hopefully it will be out soon.
Since we are in a Cobra R forum, I will mention Aaron and I shared my Cobra R as well. It was cool to see Aaron driving a Ford.

Brian,
The car looks great! :rockon: You have brought that car from the beginning(stock) to what looks like a fine race car. :beer: Even if it is a chebby.
oke:Be fast and have FUN!
Hi Mark,
The car is heavy. It is about 3250-3300 lb wet, or about 3450-3500 with me in the car, full of fuel, ect.
We have some weight we can remove yet, but not alot. The rotors are heavy as is the two piece driveshaft, but beyond that, most weight savings would be through replacing body panels with carbon fiber or something like that. We have not put on a wing or any aero, so I think we are near what our final weight is going to be.
I won all three races in Brainerd, but there was only one or two other AI cars there.
I need alot more seat time in the car, it drives so different from the Mustangs. There is alot more time for me to gain in this car.
Brian
Thanks for sharing!
I'm assuming your planning on being at the NASA Championship this year, correct?

Brian,
Do you plan on replacing the two piece driveshaft? I heard it makes a big difference with the Mustangs. :shrug:
Jeff Henderson said your car was awsome! :rockon:
Brian,
You should bring the car down to Texas World Speedway sometime this fall or winter. The weather is nice here in the fall and you can play with some local Mustangs and southern NASA guys. Love to see the car in person.
