We ran the #369 Roadster and turned it up to 11 since it was the last meet of the year.  :evil:

Note to self, don't do that again.  :-P

Here is the spin video:

The video is very good-- especially the inset data readouts. Who made that system?

The video overlays are added in the data acquisition software provided with the AEM data logger the car runs.

Watching Gregg(?) spin didn't make us real confident.

Was that Greg's hand that hit the camera and changed position?

Here's Sunday's pass in the 3076 C/StR San Berdoo Roadster with Willie Martin driving.  He gets his B license, barely, at 175 mph.  Not much traction in any gear.  The woo-woo is for the engine in 4th gear.

Well, it's blocked on my electric machine -- maybe you can make it work.
