How did our Southern Export Munnerlyn do in ITS? And why isn't this race on Race Monitor?

[awegrzyn]

I've been having an issue with my Go Pro. It filmed the first two on track session, but the second race it shows the data is there, but when I ask it to open and play, it gives me the error message that "Quick time does not understand this file format". I tried opening it in Windows media player and Windows movie maker, with no luck. This happened before.

Either you have a corrupted file, or you don't have the codec to play the file. In case you can open other files from the same camera on the same PC, it means you have a corrupted file. Those files can be fixed. There are programs out there that fix corrupted video files.

Very often Go Pro will corrupt the file if the movie is stopped by turning OFF the camera, or running out of battery.

I do not have mine or Chris's up yet but check at 8 min and 13:30
Chris's video is from behind me.
Let me know what you all think

Thanks

Looks like the rumbles at the exit of 2 are a bad place to drive.

Will be interesting to watch Christian's video. My in-car video shows another side where I'm honestly not so sure that I'd do anything differently. Yes, perspectives can change when from another car. I totally get that but it's not as blatant as I was expecting based on our conversation. Could very well be from your point of view and I'd rather sacrifice a turn or win versus any bad feelings (talking ITA and how it's about fun not some PRO BS). Uploading my vid to YouTube...

[cchandler]

Dave,

No video, and no hard feelings. You ran a good race and the better driver won. Hopefully, the next time we race, you'll get to see the back of my car!!

[gran racing]

No, it's not about whose wrong or right. Honestly if you feel I did something wrong I want to discuss it. The silly flag or trophy is just that. (This discussion would be very different among other outside situations).

Dan, when do you think you will have yours and Chris' videos up? They should be most interesting to watch.

Do you want comments based on only the MGB's video? Looks like since he is in a Prod car, and only 1950lbs
he can get that thing around corners a hell of a lot better than cars at IT weight... and he rides the
edge of adhesion regularly at corner exit

Since he doesn't have much motor compared to you, it would be unlikely for him to be able to take you on
the straight, so a pass in the braking zone is most reasonable and is to be expected. He went inside in big bend,
and managed to stay on the track, so had the pass well executed, was working hard to keep it on pavement at
trackout, and then you hit him hard in his right rear corner, spinning him, and driving over his hood.

What do you think happened?

I can open the other two files, so it must be corrupted. I tried the program Greg linked to and it didn't work. Thank you.
Any recommendations on which programs work well to fix it?

Dan: just watched the video. All I can say is holee sheet.

Wowser... Who said prod guys are not racers? Not as aggressive as some others I have seen and generally safe (didn't make passes he couldn't stick) and never "forced it." With that said though I bet less than 50% of the people here would go three wide into big bend and I bet 75% would have stoped after the first hit to be sure the car was ok/safe to drive.

To bad he couldn't hold it in the exit of Big Bend. Not so sure he was hit before loosing it so without interviews it most likely is a racing incident from that view... Although the prod car would be at fault if he wasn't hit, if he was hit then it is Dan's fault.

If you watch the earlier spin in the same spot when he was alone, he hits that curb and it flings him across the track.
The crash looked like he did the same thing, hit the curb and went sideways in front of Dan. I will bet that Dan never hit him at all.

yeah, looking again I could see that ... love to see it from Dan's camera!

btw Dan... any damage?

[wepsbee]

Well I thought at track out we would both gradually straighten and come back drivers right and set up for the left hander. My impression is that if we both gave time for the cars to straighten and come right again we would have been fine. It seems as if his car came right suddenly and I hit him front right corner and drove over his fender. His video shows alot of sudden right turning motions with his steering wheel. I think a second more of track out would have been better for all.
Damage to the car so far is a bent right trailing arm, bent spindle, upper control arm, flattened and bent front crossmember and possibly a bent wheel. Thats it so far.
Really thought we had that corner. He was way around me but loose and on the edge, this is the perspective from my seat, but then he must have checked up some and came right because all of a sudden there he was in front of me. I suppose in hindsight I could have tried to slow some and let it go but the cars in that turn at that time are in a condition that really prohibit any sudden changes to braking or steering. Once committed you must track out and come back right.
Thats how it looks to me. I will try to get my video up soon. Havent posted a video before so a learning curve will be complicating matters there. Hey Chris can you post your video when you get a sec?

[Greg Amy]

I reserve final judgement until I see the other perspectives, but my initial impression was similar to Glenn's. Assuming you did not touch him, causing the oversteer, going inside him coming through T2 (which is why he missed the second apex?) was aggressive and bit a of a chancy move; as you discovered, any errors on his part would result in what we saw.

Ain't sayin' I would have done it any differently; probably would have. But this is kinda lookin' like "one of those racing things". - GA
