Mallard Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 http://www.unix.eng.ua.edu/~mblackwood/Nov072004b.wmv This has been floating around the internet. The camara is mounted on the front bumper of a Miata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 looked like a fast auto-x track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 looks almost like playing a video game, that is pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Thats not autoX, thats Pro Solo. Im surprised he wasnt going faster... that course was VERY open. Look at the slalom... if yo can call it that... they are like 2 or 3 feet offset... and not a single chicago box! OVR owns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted December 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Didn't realize it was a ProSolo. For those of you that don't know...PROSOLO'S OWN!!! You start side-by-side from a drag racing tree and race the car next to you. You both do the same course, but on opposite sides of the lot. Usually the start is a long straight section. Basically you start an autocross with a drag race and you're head-to-head. You get a lot more runs then your average autox too. OVR is a really good region for autox, but Detroit uses the Silverdome lot. I wish we had a lot that size around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dark_Viper01 Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I was gonna say, that was the longest autoX track I've ever seen. Anyone know if he was using a Cone Cam system to get that shot? I would hope he wouldn't mount a handheld camera down there, one cone and it would be toast.

Some guys go as far as putting a camara on each tire to make sure they're close enough to the cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 That looked really confusing. How'd he know what cones to swerve in? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this... this is me btw... www.mrmeanrracing.com/vids/incar.mpg See the cones that are laying down on thier side? The cones are like arrows, and point which way your supposed to go around a specific cone. It gets real f-ing confusing when you hit mulitiple chicago boxes like in this vid... mee also... www.mrmeanrracing.com/vids/r3rr.mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im keeping my eye on those MS Miatas... they look to be quite a threat around the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More regional racers turn pro out of OVR than any other division in the country. WOR and NE OHIO think a chicago box with a 15 foot center cap is tight.... OVRs are usually about 8-10ft.

The MS Miata's are not faster (I've heard some people say they are slower) on an autox course then a regualar one. Apparently the gear ratio's aren't great for autox.
