cheers wyn,
no russ it is not a standard box, hand made straight cut close ratio dog race box. Gear changes take about 3/10 of a second from being on full throttle to being on full throttle.
yes dave it is a very good bit of editing as it not only shows dee driving at the start but also in another place . It also is from two different meetings, april and may, and for those really eagle eyed it even shows blue 754 / 54 and then black 754 / 54 numbers on the car
suzy no question is stupid, the guys at the start are lining the car up with the electronic timing beams that time the cars(there is another set at the finish as well as the speed traps you can see the first speed trap before the bottom of the hill, and split time) and then they are just stopping the car from moving once in the right place. ps speed trap speed was 88mph in may that is in about 7.3 seconds from the start according to the data logging
Correct, handbrake is excess wieght so out the window it went
I suggest that brayspeed are approached if you want to use the clip. I am sure that he would agreto it. I met him on sunday and he seemed to be a very approachable type.
I should be getting the incar footage from another camara of the last run on saturday in the wet on slicks, not as quick but oh sooooooooooooooo much fun
The clip is good but really does the cars no justice compared to seeing them running at close quarters in real life
cheers ben and dee

Cheers Ben, let me know how you get on, can he send us a high res DVD of the climb that starts this tread?
Getting there, the Hot Metal shoot out, your hill climb, DJZ is filming some stock footage of all the different cars, just need a bit of HSCC, Rally and Drag to go!
