That second lick looked good, 1-2 shift definitely sounds a little "iffy" but it's working. Only thing that jumps out at me is how fast the front of the car comes down after the launch, really looks like could use a slower compression rate so the weight of the car doesn't transfer so aggressively and stays over the rear longer. Something else that might really help (don't hate me for saying it), a shorter shifter. The wrench is cool but it's so long that the throw between 1st and 2nd that you hand has to travel is pretty long, shorting the wrench up by 3-4 inches and you shifts will get faster and more crisp. Oh and damn GoPros drive me nuts some times, they overheat so easy. I wish there was a better option. I have 6's which drove me up a wall, a little while back updated to 11's. The 11's are better cameras, much better mics, and have better 'fancy' features . . . that said, they still do all that dumb crap to that just makes you want to violently smash them!
Thats not a terrible idea about adding compression. I was just looking for set it and move on settings and while I'm positive they could be improved, a 1.5 60 foot is pretty decent for a traditional style clutch. I 100% agree on the shifter. its SOOO long. Ive contemplated just making a racing shifter for it thats more manageable... the other aspect is the amount of leverage it has on the synchro's and Im pretty sure thats just one of the reasons its acting the way it is currently.. I've seen a ton of good deals on gopro's recently. I may just have to bite the bullet and replace these "old" (they really dont feel old to me...) 7's and go newer... Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate your time and expertise on this!
Funny he's in cross country this year and has been loving it! I did think about the line lock for that reason but having one more thing to manage hasn't historically worked great for me lol
That sucks :/ While I do love the old school feel of that track it was a mess all around.....i think with as popular as redwood rally is getting, venue's like that aren't really viable for too much longer...
Way to go! Hope things keep going well... see ya at Woodburn!

Logan has a good-looking stride. He could be a runner. Use the line lock to prevent rolling out of the beams. Don't need it for water burnouts.

@WompFilterProductions I did 4 years of cross country in high school and was not very good at it. However, I can recognize better runners.
I had the same issue there, I rolled back and did not get a slip. This day was a mess, reruns all mixed up before my class even ran.

@@WompFilterProductions Sadly I think you are right. Great little track, but there is no way the rally can grow anymore and still keep going there.
