Title: Easter festival of power coverage Post by: richie on March 29, 2013, 14:31:20 pm A few brave people out testing today,track doesnt look to bad considering all the bad weather and the new surface, looks like the track crew did a real good job of making it good enough & it should get better as more cars go down the new surface,
Live link here for the next 4 days http://www.eurodragster.com/live/webcam/default.asp Title: Re: Easter festival of power coverage Post by: Dead Dog on March 30, 2013, 13:08:52 pm it doesn't look too warm - I'll be up there sunday/monday weather permitting, I only live 5 mins away so if it gets too cold, we can bugger off home and warm up ;D

The new surface looks good! Title: Re: Easter festival of power coverage Post by: richie on March 30, 2013, 13:41:56 pm It is weird seeing them stop racing for snow, then be running again shortly after,but track still looks good,be interesting to see if any Pro mods,Fuel & methanol funny cars or dragsters can get down without taking ewverything out of it,
cheers richie Title: Re: Easter festival of power coverage Post by: Airspeed on March 30, 2013, 15:37:29 pm The image/video/view is great btw! Never seen such a clear webcam on such a wide screen before.

Title: Re: Easter festival of power coverage Post by: Airspeed on March 30, 2013, 18:37:34 pm Yeah, it IS great watching though. Just saw a pro-mod V8 go 7.62 at 180 at freezing track temperature :o
Title: Re: Easter festival of power coverage Post by: Airspeed on March 30, 2013, 19:24:39 pm Just saw a black fastback doing 11.3 and Richard Merriman from VWDRC doing a run. (Richard had some problems or so it looked like on this run).

Track was good considering, 1st pair out ran 8's so shows there was traction and many teams were running PB's or breaking out. The surface is super smooth, just needs a bit more racing to take place to bring it up to speed as well as temps above freezing! I suffered from wheel spin on every run despite dialing down to launch at 3600 rpm. Still not that fussed as its the first time racing since rebuilding the car, had a couple of issues (missed gear, dead plug and spin and various runs) but starting to get there.

Rich, you need a "3" dongle and you'd have super broadband in the Camper. The "Real" coverage is on Youtube if you search for VWDRC TV. http://www.youtube.com/user/VWDRCTV |
