Silver State Classic Challenge SSCC SEP 2023 Factory Five Type 65 Coupe 

They do it’s called walmart parking lot👍😂

​@@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusicid love to see someone doing 140 mph in a Walmart parking 🤔

Track days. They're available at many race tracks all over the country.

​@@stevem6853furst off this event is nowhere NEAR the same thing as a track day, and the entire deal of getting a car ready and going to a track day anyway is a surprisingly hard, annoying and expensive process in america, which makes no sense, but nothing here does.

Thank you! I started in May 2022 and have done 100, 110, 120 and I just registered for May in the 130 class.

Greg (the light blue Coupe), Patrick and I hung out a lot that weekend!

I think most people either have no clue it existed, or just cant get time off work to go, personally, i didnt know this was a realistic goal of a event to go to until like this week imao

You were driving the Corvair? I'm sorry for the pass - at the time I thought you saw me but watching the video I'm not so sure.

Cool job bringing a V8 Corvair to that event, in a way i was sort of hoping it was a corsa running the stock 4 carb engine, but that wouldn't be holding a good 115 mph out there long!

The camera is an Insta360 - it has two 180-degree lenses and captures a 360-degree sphere of data. By editing the video in software, you can choose which viewpoint to playback/render to the output video. The camera does not physically move. Glad you like it!

I wanted to see it too... didn't catch what it was. Thanks!

I thought it was a Lancer.

The camera is an Insta360 X2. The mount is made up of: Delkin Devices Fat Gecko Triple Suction Camera Mount IMT 3" Vacuum Suction Cup Mounting Base with 1/4"-20 Female Thread SmallRig Clamp w/ 1/4" and 3/8" Thread and 9.8 Inches Adjustable Friction Power Articulating Magic Arm ALZO Extension Rod 16 Inch Long with 1/4 x 20 Thread Hole and 1/4 x 20 Screw End, two of these. The 4th suction cup and articulating arm provide front-to-rear triangulation support of the camera/rod.

@@davesdaytona I knew that mount had to be custom and thanks for sharing as my Barracuda has an even bigger back window to mount on. Love that factory five Daytona and miss ffr cobra something fierce yet once dad let go of grandpa's car from the back of the barn I knew all the toys had to go and let grandpa's dream of viper Barracuda amalgamation evolve into what I affectionately call the devil fish.

Have a look at www.sscc.com. About a grand to enter but it's more that just the rally- parade of cars, car show on the lawn, 1/2 and 1 mile speed runs, banquet dinner, award ceremony, etc. In May is the NORC (60 miles, two ways - 120 miles total) and in September is the SSCC - 90 miles one-way

In Texas we have the Big Bend Open Road Race, 57 miles from Ft. Stockton to Sanderson with a return after lunch. Nevada is just too far away for me, I have to cross 800 miles of Texas.

I believe it is a Studebaker of some sort.

@@davesdaytona Absolutely gorgeous Daytona! BTW

What do you expect from a camera that’s mounted outside the car?

@@riverswild5825 Wind muff dude. It's not a new thing.

If I were to do this again, I'd get the R and cut out the front bars in the front windshield area - or cut them out and make them quick-release/removable for non track events.

Cool- my daughter goes to UofO. I'm in CA and I trailered my Coupe up there ~2 years ago and did a track day at PIR.

It's hard to say as we've not driven each other's cars at speed. My wing should be putting down ~350 lbs at 130 mph according to the spec sheet that came with the wing. I also have a front nose that minimizes the airflow under the nose. On two road course tracks (Sonoma and Thunderhill East), my aero package cuts ~4 seconds per lap - this was done via same-day, back-to-back testing. But for the rally run which is mostly straight it's just a a feel/stability thing. We had all 3 coupes up over 150 mph this past May - no issues.

@davesdaytona well I have to say it's a beautiful car!! Your a Blessed man!!! Stay safe!

@@beanapalooza6614 look for my most recent video of the May 2024 event!

just under 1 second off of a perfect 120 mph average after 90 miles

@davesdaytona What I meant was placement after the run, ie: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. in your class. Either way, impressive!

@@glenndiorio8967 5th out of 8 finishers - 10 were entered.

@@davesdaytona Wow! That is a tight timeline! 👍

@@glenndiorio8967 0.1757 time deviance won the 120 mph group - this was hand-timed with a stopwatch and waypoint tables

Class rules, You wouldn't be allowed to jump in a unlimited mph class. Not that you have anything that would run the 120mph class for 90 miles....lol

this run group speed limit was 136 mph. see my latest video from this past May

It’s awesome 😂 don’t be such a downer

The Greta ticker is great.

HOW DARE YOU!!
