This weekend 3balls racing organized again another perfect track weekend at Grattan Raceway. Grattan is one of my favorite track as it nicely technical but not so hard on brakes and tires.

Is will follow with a more detailed report later, wanted to share though my most fun lap first.

Ah, Grattan. You overshot the jump and it threw your line off for the next four corners. Looks like all that driving in the marbles took its toll. Car okay?

Great Video... you hung perfectly w/ the vette until the moment of getting sideways.

crangie · 09-02-2013, 08:41 PM

That's correct. Got to close to the vette after the jump. Definitely not my best lap. I have the full session uploaded later.

No issues with the car. These Z are pretty sturdy

awesome video

That was awesome! I have never been on that track but was watching your lines and thinking you were really pushing the tires too hard and then you were in the grass..lol. I'm of the opinion that if you never cross the edge you don't really know where it is....fortunately no damage.... I can tell you from past experiences in other cars that exiting the road surface can be very expensive....

Hard on the tires????

I don't think so :-)

jbotta · 09-03-2013, 07:40 PM

Wow, That's what I call using all the tire. New set of rubber and good to go. Awesome vid.
