Thanks!

Hahaha, good on ya for self reporting, and thanks for finding the highlight! I have higher bit-rate video stored from the car, so perhaps it'll make it to a highlight real, haha.

We've got a brief overview of the setup on our channel. It's far from simple, but it gets the job done haha.

1. I'll send you a message on Facebook with the details, but long story short, yes, a sort of UPS can be used. Small batteries are allowed per lemons rules, as long as they don't power the rest of the car. 2. I like the REVODATA cameras on Amazon. I've used most of their types, but have been settling on the models that have IR capabilities, mainly because that means they have an IR shutter to open and close a filter. The 'non-IR' versions still see IR, but they don't have a filter, so natural daylight looks horrid. Also, the more robust ones from REVODATA are great, like these: a.co/d/a03RR42 However, they are a bit big. There is one USB camera still used on the car for the pedal cam. The original plan was to use all USB cameras, but the USB bus couldn't handle it, hence the switch to IP PoE cameras. Thanks for watching! I'll be at the HPR race as crew with the purple Miata, we just won't have our miata there, so I'd be happy to chat further about it with you then if you'd like.

Thanks Leo!

It was cool seeing you too! I meant to come by and say hi, but we were deep into diagnosing an engine power issue which still remains unsolved. We may or may not be at the HPR race in September, as we will be at Road America the weekend prior. It'll be a tight and exhausting turn around if we do both.... but maybe!

Yep you got it, we are using the race monitor API. We have some scripts running that then use that data to create text files that OBS reads and uses to display the data.

@@temeritymotorsports1152 Awesome, thanks so much!

Well in this case, I was renting the car from a friend. The engine in the car was incredibly tired (ebay engine), and was completely filling two catch cans each session. The rings had seen better days to say the least. These cars also used to be classed in FB, but due to dwindling numbers, they got shoved into FA with Swift 014s, 016s, etc. They simply aren't competitive in FA.

@@temeritymotorsports1152 Most important is that you enjoyed the race.

Looks like it was uphill.

There should be FA2--F1000s, Pro Mazdas and F3s. Any of those cars could win.

@@dalev.186 Concur, true FA's are in a class of their own.

Thanks!

@@temeritymotorsports1152 I thought RA corner net wasn't broadcast but hard wired, but its been several years since I raced there. Certainly you aren't getting that in your helmet but in the crew chiefs, ya?

@@kwasg3 We think it may be hardwired, but eventually it is broadcasted over radio. We do get it in our helmets, except in a few portions of the track where coverage from our repeater is poor.

Ended up P11 in class, P22 overall. Would have been about P10 overall had the transponder power not been bumped off accidentally for about 9 laps 😅

New gearbox, mostly. The 5th gear synchro went out on the one we used during the true-24, and with Road America coming up so quickly we decided to swap gearboxes rather than attempt a rushed rebuild. We were also testing another new TeLemontry board revision, a new antenna for the UHF voice repeater, some video streaming tweaks, a new brake master cylinder brace, and some different (higher mu) brake pads.

Our pleasure, thanks for watching. Great racing with you as well!

​@@temeritymotorsports1152and hopefully the brake rotors work for you. ;)

@@Aleckzandr Yes, thanks again for those!

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

#314 is one of the faster cars out there but in Lemons there's a place for everyone. It's more fun having lots of cars on the track, some slower than you are and some faster. Teaches all of us how to pass and be passed. And we can also dream of some day being as fast as #314 is. PS - thanks #314 for sharing your insights on how to create lighted number boards. Appreciated the Betty Crocker recipe style along with the included shopping list. Bill Schaefer #21

@@billschaefer5686 We indeed love racing with Lemons because of the more relaxed nature of everyone there too. Sure, we want to win, but we also know it means nothing if we do. Our car is simply a 'canvas' of sorts for us engineers to mess with, like making the custom TeLemontry system from the ground up, the streaming setup, the lights, and much more. Funnily enough, we haven't touched the powertrain (it's completely stock). We've seen how expensive and time consuming it can get to go down the rabbit hole of adding more power. We like to use our resources to try and make it as reliable as possible (and amassing a comprehensive set of spares). Another fun fact is that we were 12th fastest with regard to best lap time. It is far from the fastest car on the field, but we just try to keep it on track. It sure isn't a slow car either, but man, Towmater is a beast (they make us feel like we are standing still!) We were bummed for them when they had a mechanical at the end of the race, as they have put a massive amount of work into that car. Glad the number board tutorial helped! We saw a large handful of teams that went with that method, and it seemed to be the favorite of the corner works and race control. It was great racing with 'yall!

There were 3 incidents with that car that meet that description lol..... Do you have any sort of time frame to narrow it down?

First spin (of three) in front of us by #12 (the Crossfire) was at about 2:28:30 in the video, roughly 1:55 pm clock (wall) time.

There is a yellow entering the kink. 100mph in these cars is very controllable, as the typical race speed through that turn would be about 135mph. You can see I lift off the throttle for the duration of the incident. Slowing too much could also be a problem, since many other drivers that weekend weren't even bothering to lift at all (and even continued racing through multiple yellows), which actually lead to some serious incidents.

11 was waving and the drivers loobyed for more green flag laps about 5 years ago. Safety and the cars were well off line

this shocked me too. they definitely need to adapt the FIA rules of no heavy vehicles on track with cars

@d.k.1974 It was a request by the drivers a few years back for more green flag laps. There was a waving yellow at 11 all the drivers were informed on their radio and the recovery vehicles and car was well off line.If the situation had been at track out you would have seen a full course yellow. I've been a Marshall for 37 years and once worked for RA everything was under control

Paddle shift. There haven't been shift levers in (modern) race cars for quite a few years now... Many with electronic no-lift upshifts and auto blip downshifts. (Damn kids these days think they know how to drive... Why, back in MY day...)

Formula Atlantic cars are allowed to have paddle shift sequentials. Formula Enterprise have those shifters that you're thinking of.

Lots of familiar voices on this one

Yea, the P1/P2 race with the FE2 car had a major crash as I'm sure you are aware. The driver(s) involved didn't lift under a waving yellow at the kink and then plowed right into the FE2 center track. I'd like to think that I respect the kink.... it seems others don't as much.

Yeah I saw a clip of that yesterday, that was brutal. I’m a bit unfamiliar with Formula Atlantic, is the pace comparable with a Formula 4 or USF2000 car? Or is it sort of in no lane land?

@@NolanRempel It really depends on which FA we are talking about nowadays. The car I'm driving in this video was previous an FB car until it got merged with FA a few years ago due to low turnout. A 'true' FA would generally be a Swift 016, Swift 014, Ralt RT41. Pro Formula Mazdas also run in the class. To your point, in the simulator, we feel that the USF2000 is closest to the F1000 chassis. The F3 is probably closer to the Swifts and such (though heavier than them). I've never driven a Swift 014 or 016, so I can't speak from personal experience there.

Ah, fair enough!

Lifting in the kink can prove treacherous enough.

I'm working on the full races and quali sessions, but they are just larger to edit and upload. The Sunday race has been uploaded tonight though!

​ So I saw!

In the corner marshals defense, it was around 1230am, so the race was just past its halfway point after starting at 12pm that day. I know I'd be struggling to stay awake if I were them 😅

I know a lot of the time marshals trade out in shifts, guess they were at the end of a long haul lol

Yep, we run a custom built repeater at races to listen to the flag net. It's very helpful as a driver or crew.

Wish more people or series did that, it's always cool to get a more behind-the-scenes look with stuff like that.

It seemed excessive this year, but I don't have the data to really compare the various years.

I was at Road America on this day. Sitting at turn 8 before the carousel during one of the races I saw more spins and offs than I’ve seen the past few times I’ve been to June Sprints. Same when I was hanging out by turn 3. I wonder if the new track surface and drivers unfamiliarity had anything to do with it.

@@hbsquirrel Interesting! It definitely seemed to be much more than past years, but we also didn't have the capabilities to listen to the flag net in years past, so when we were in the garage, we didn't really know what was going on during other sessions. This year, we were always listening. We also noticed a large lack of respect for local standing and waving yellows, which led to some serious incidents and near misses.

New pavement causes different sensations for drivers

If it was the blue and yellow FE2, he did pull across the track and was hit by a P1 car totally the P1. Thankfully both drivers were relatively ok.

@@ericdsrracer Different incident: the video above depicts the Sunday FA/FC/FX race, while the P1 vs FE2 incident was in the P1/P2/FE2 race on Saturday. Still scary regardless, and completely agree that it's great that both of those drivers were OK.

@@teuobk Thank you very much for the clarification. Watching a few of the videos I’m in awe (not in a good way) of how cars are not slowing for the local yellows in the kink and are whizzing by the safety vehicles. 😮

he clearly didnt mean to re-enter the track, he was sliding

or hes stupid

@@mikew6535 Well he was sliding off into the runoff area. If he had kept his wheels pointed straight and locked it down with the brakes, he likely wouldn't have turned back onto the track. Once under control, then he'd be able to re-enter after the pack had passed.

Both feet in. Trying to save it at that point can only make it worse.

​@@temeritymotorsports1152locking it on the brakes does the complete opposite buddy
