looking for pics or video of World Finals 09

[BurtonBrown]

Hello all,

First time on this forum. We ran the 7770 Orange Datsun 240Z F/GT at the 2009 world finals.

I am looking for anyone who might have taken a pic or video at speed. Just curious what the attitude of the car is at speed. We plan to come back for sure at the World Finals but are contemplating coming in August for Speed week.
2 things I am wondering about. Is the difference in the air density from August to October a significant factor from making HP to aerodynamic drag? I mean does the reduced HP you can make in August get made up by less drag?
2nd, We have quite the long haul (1800 miles to be exact) and was wondering if anyone else hauls a rig out and parks it somewhere instead of driving it back and forth both times?

Thanks for any input.

Leaving it somewhere between events could be a problem due to the fact the vehicles need a lot of clean up after the SW event. The other is weather that is always a factor in Oct. You would have to come and get it in the event it rains  etc. anyway. The only option is having someone take care of the above while you are away. If you can make arrangements to have someone do the work and store it more power to you. This is difficult to deal with. I know it sounds like I am saying things in a negative way but these are the facts. Where do you live etc. may have some bearing on what you choose to do.

Hope this helps and things work out for you. Good luck on the salt. You might want to look in the photo section on this site for your car.

Burton, it's bedtime and I will be happy to chat at a later time -- give me an email for tomorrow, hey?

Wisconsin is a bit closer to Bville than where Nancy and I live - up here near Marquette in Michigan's UP.  It's about 1850 miles for us.  We have taken the race trailer out there and left it - as well as commuted back and forth.  I've got a good bunch of stories and information about doing it each way - including places where your rig can stay while you're back in the midwest.

Good night -- but I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.
