- Watch the Fastest LAP here: • PALEHORSE #323 2:06 LA... In my second ChampCar Endurance Series Race at NOLA Motorsports park with Battle Scarred Motorsports, the track was dry and the competition was fierce. Lots of lessons learned. Battle Scarred Motorsports is a charity for veterans providing "adrenaline therapy" for veterans and first responders. Consider supporting them at www.battlescar...

So I may have gotten a little too artsy on this one. Let me explain. I filmed all the "B-Roll" stuff in 24FPS for a cinematic look. I then set the sequence setting up for 24FPS. I had read about "interpret footage" in Adobe and how it would make higher frame rate footage look good by scaling it down. I did not consider that it would make the audio sound like the witness protection program, and I never noticed until after I had spent hours editing the 1+40 worth of in car stuff. By then it was too late to go back and fix the in car stuff (I could only fix the later videos I had taken on my phone). So, as a result, the in car footage sounds different (deeper) than it should. It's also scaled down to 24FPS, so you're losing 6 frames every second - something that doesn't exactly make racing footage look great. Here's the unedited "fastest lap" in case you're interested. It's still a bit of a fisheye due to the GoPro MAX, but it doesn't look or sound as bad. I'll take the hit on that one. I should've known better. ruclips.net/video/T5LbatR-HXI/видео.html
Loved it. I don't often get inside the head of a gifted pilot, author, and raconteur. It's rather like we were sitting on your shoulder and hearing your thoughts.
When I was a kid, early 60s, my uncle drove a car at the Merced county race track. The main thing I remember was the SMELL of the racetrack! Not oil, or gas specifically, but maybe the hot paint and oil and gas! Now I have no sense of smell at all, but sometimes I can close my eyes and smell that track again. Thanks for the video, Mover!
This was a lot of fun to watch. I thought you drove well and those last laps were pure smoke. Well done 🏁🏁
Looking pretty good Mover! I'm thrilled for you to have this opportunity, and grateful that you took us along for the ride!
Very entertaining. Informative narration and great editing.
Thanks, Mary! Glad you enjoyed it!
I think what made this enjoyable was Mover's narration.
Thank you!
Absolutely agree. The voice over makes a story out of the footage.
Good stuff. I hope you get to do it again soon so we can get more of this content. Now you realize how difficult it is to go fast. It all looks so easy in a video. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Good stuff Mover. Thought the video looked and sounded just fine. I enjoyed the wide angle views especially. That Mustang really purred. 😛😛
Damn that looks like fun. I hope you enjoyed yourself Mover. Thanks for sharing this.
Looking much better this day. Focus and precision car control look great
Mover races a Mustang? WOMBAT will be both proud and jealous. Excellent editing and congratulations on the lap times.
Good looking car. My favorite body style of the Mustang!
Never expected this - Keep it up, keep turning laps!
That looked very fast...I think you did a great job C.W .
Congrats! Nothing like learning under fire!
Kickass. Makes me miss my Miata. My first time autocrossing, I felt the exact same way. I never really got fast, but I did get quite a bit less slow.
Thank you for what you do Sir..💯👍👍👊🏻👊🏻
We tried something last year that worked pretty well and I wanted to see if any of you guys had ever tried the same thing... we staggered our tires and strut settings for right hand turns.
9 of the 11 turns on the course were right handers, so we measured the tires and found 1.75" of available stagger. Since the diff on my car is welded, I figured we could use it. So we put the largest tire on the LR, next largest on the RR, next largest on the LF, and smallest on the RF.
Then, in a series of practice sessions, we tested different strut settings (I've got Tokico 5-way adjustables on all corners). We started with the front and found that a pretty stiff setting (4) was just right and kept the nose stable without diving in the corners. Then we worked the rears from 4, down to 3, then 2 and 1. We found that 2 was the softest setting we could use (softer in the back gives more grip, which we needed because of the welded diff). That tightened the car up and gave us far better grip off the corners under throttle. We then stiffened the RR strut back to 3, to transfer a bit more weight to the outside rear tire in all right hand corners. Man, did the car ever fly through the fast right handers after that!
We had already set our coilovers and ride height and were satisfied with it, so the only thing left to manipulate was tire pressure. We made some changes there but the car didn't notice the difference that much. The struts and the stagger were what did the trick.
We were so busy testing that we just tested right through qualifying without ever trying to make THE hot lap. We still qualified third of twenty and went on to win our class and the overall race with ease. I was super happy... not just with the win, but with the way the car responded and our progress in practice.
I've come to believe that so long as we have the welded diff, the car will always be a bit loose no matter what we do. However, the car now bites far better off the corners and we only get the tiniest push only in very tight corners going in, and it is manageable. We noticed after adding the stagger that the car just plain flies through the high speed corners. The difference was amazing.
Does anyone else do this, and were your results as good as ours?
Good content! As someone who spends way too much time in a sim rig, I feel like you've got plenty of pace still in you next time out. Time to get you a direct drive wheel and get some sim time! I believe NOLA Motorsports park is in Rfactor 2. There's great deals right now on sim equipment. Its much cheaper than me racing IRL these days so iRacing is where its at.
Looked good to me man. Thanks for filming, editing and sharing with the rest of us. Love the flying and the driving.
I go way back with this stuff... I suggest going dirt track racing every chance you get ..just open class bombers, where it doesn't matter ... once you get the feel for going around the track sideways with no traction, everything else seems easy.
Mover is basically an international man of mystery at this point
Good freshman outing! Glad I can chime in knowledgeably too.
Don’t sweat the Coops. I race Minis. We weigh in at just over a ton being pushed by 300hp. (more or less). In that mustang you can smoke us on the straights, but we’re driving overgrown go carts, don’t try to stay with us in the twisties, we turn on a dime with out much energy loss.
The concept is to take a bent up track and make it as straight as possible. Use the WHOLE track on entrances and outs. Set your speed going in, apex, then blast out of the turn. Get to know the track, find your marks and hit them.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Thanks for sharing! It’s all about energy management.
Love it.... Really wished they had something like this when I was growing up in Metairie. Closest thing we had was some AutoX tracks setup on the old runways on Alvin Callendar Field, at Belle Chase back in the late '80s when I was with the 159th. Trying to plan a trip w/my car back home to NOLA sometime in the future to try this track out. If you ever want a great track with some elevation changes & blind hills, you should try to have a go at MotorSports Ranch Cresson in Texas - VERY fun track with lots of technical turns & some good open straights. Nice video - keep 'em coming, have fun & be safe!
I’m a big F1 fan, and watching you go round this track really shows how fast F1 driver actually move. Almost like watching a race in slow motion here.
Definitely nowhere near as fast as an F1 Driver, but this is what an unedited lap looks like. ruclips.net/video/T5LbatR-HXI/видео.html
@@CWLemoine how well do you think fighter pilots would handle all of the Gs of driving an F1 car? They feel like the fighter jets of the car world.
Rude!
The G forces are a different axis. Not really the same.
Great stuff! I've done a few track days in my Mustang and when you talked about the tires getting hot and slick, man, people who haven't experienced that have no idea how you aren't kidding when you say 'slick'! Good thing the caution came when it did so you could cool them off a little.
If I had a penny for every endurance driver I'm subscribed to, I'd have two. Which is nice.
Great situational awareness and self analysis. Corvette Racing next call Johnny!😁
Mover in a Mustang!
Whoa - you block Wombat? ;-)
Just here for the Mustang Driver comments. Lol. Great edit !
If you want to learn the fundamentals of racing, I always recommend karting. Proper 125 cc Rotax or something similar.
The improvements are astounding.
Many of the best drivers ever started in karting
Very nice. speed is a byproduct of seat time, smoothness, forward vision and the line. Check out Ross Bentley's books, Speed secrets. A great read. He explains the physics and the human aspects of high performance driving and racing in a way you can use it.
Cool, thanks!
He is a fighter pilot lol. Just saying.
@@paulloveless4122 Wait....... What????? are you sure?
Outstanding Performance Mover Fast 💨 in the Air and Fast on Race Day
This title... Well played Sir
Good racing mover also don't worrie about the other drivers be yourself also today i had a good day at work i took the bus home also i found out i had a Guardián Angel. also i was not good on a go-cart but the last i was on one it was in San Deigo California Mover. also it was the Second time i saw a train track in my life when i travelled too twitch a con with someone that got promoted.
Mover hope you make it to a race that Team Sahlen is at! Be great to meet you.
Sweet Porsches!
@@CWLemoine even better hot dogs. ;)
Blue Mustang, admit it, you thought it was Wombat.😳😀😳
pretty cool
Bloody well done racing performance good sir
I love this track because of the flat nature of the terrain which allows me to focus on proper line and good braking. Have you been to Barber motorsports park or road Atlanta? Maybe we'll see ya out there!
So you're basically Seabiscuit...in a car?
Well done, at least it wasn't "Mover wrecks a racecar", right?
If you have had a chance to look at devotion, I’m curious as to why the pilot didn’t bail out instead of landing his plane in a field.
Is there a reason why there aren't race comms? Not allowed or not a consideration, etc...?
Not installed in this car. Perfectly legal.
We had brought comms to install in this car, but one of our other cars also didn't have comms and the team acquired the equipment before I got it installed in PaleHorse. So we adapted and overcame. Mover needed to be alone with his thought anyways. lol
That drink system needs some work!
Mover I'm only a quarter away through but to me it sounds like you're not utilizing the top of your powerband.
Are you in 4.6 Terminator or is it a 5.0 SN95?
Don't go by sounds. I made the mistake of trying "interpret footage" for all of my 30FPS stuff (the GoPro MAX in the cockpit) not knowing it would make the audio sound weird until I was already hours into editing. I noticed it at the end when Douglas sounded like he was in witness protection. (I filmed a lot of it in 24FPS for a cinematic look and wanted the rest of the footage to match.. first time trying it).
This is what it really sounds like. It's a 4.6L engine at 257RWHP.

@@CWLemoine oh shoot you're completely spot on. My bad man. I deleted the other comment. Reviewing the video linked below it's obvious you're pushing it hard just as it should be.
This is my first video of yours regarding racing so forgive me if this is answered elsewhere but is this SCCA or NASA or something else?
Any plans for data capture or telemetry?
Awesome hobby man. I'm glad that I can enjoy it through your videos.
Champcar Endurance series. Hopefully will do more.
You got faster because your racing line became better and also you shortened your braking marker which is helping your mid corner and exit speed.
Please review F4 phantom the original top gun fighter jet.!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤟🏻
Cool 😎
Soon you will run out of things to ruin :)
I try to not irritate you this time. What helped me was to pick a faster car than you and try to stick on him, just like blue mustang
Also is S turns would push to where rear is at the edge of slipping which set me up for the next corner
Try to feel the rear end in you butt to tell you how much to push it
Well done sir
How fast were you on the front straightaways?
My guess would be 120ish. But it's hard to say since we didn't have GPS or a speedometer.
Is the Mustang the only car you are running?
It was.
@C.W. Lemoine
I was wondering cause I've seen your clips running around NOLA in a ZR1.
So, are you a Ford or Chevy guy, or like I would be...........whatever goes fast and I can get into!
*Not to put you on the spot. :)
I typically buy GM products but will race almost anything.
Is your next car going to be a Mustang, or a Miata?
That's fun to watch, and I could tell you were learning. You're psyched for the next race, right?
Mustang driver mover
Aww man you had the black flag syndrome and didn't realise it til folks were passing, you're not too fast Ricky Bobby!!! That's cool though, you analysed it on the way reeled it in.
When you're having the 2.06's you can hear the engine growl in the straights. I guess that thing is RWD so you can't do the same in the corners, you've gotta nurse the envelope without giving the 360 cam a workout. I heard a couple of squeals in the corners later as she was working out so you were getting in that zone alright just keep in mind that too much squeal is lost energy.
I saw someone comment about cornering later, but as you said you're still learning, still pushing, once you get those cornering forces balanced out at max power, you're gonna be fast!
Are we gonna get a sit down with Brian? I'd love to hear him wax lyrical about motors, his make em tell ya no story is probably worth hearing and some insights into the best crayons would be fun!
Hello Mester old pilot. You must put jet motor inside your car raining with now. Because you are not us to rang with slowly you blong to sky.
Wambat and you should race!!! LOL NOLA STREET OUTLAWS funnier if you could borrow that mustang in the video and have a drag race Mustang against Mustang think he calls Cobra or something like that...
Slow is fast.
When you said " limit of 35 mph that kinda explained what i was seeing, cause what i was seeing is a bunch of people on a sunday drive around a race track hoping to be first, LOL nobody was actually racing, i don't think your RPMs ever went above 3.5G -- if you can come into a corner on the inside and not find yourself in the grass, you aint racing, I'm siting here going dude imagine your on the streets chasing a suspect through a city neighborhood ,, put your foot in it and grab some gears and let that thing fly ,,,,,
LOL,
I'm watching this thing waiting for you to get in it and start racing but when you said 35MPH limit i started laughing my arc off cause that aint racing LOL
Oh FFS. The 35 MPH was during the caution. We were definitely full send and it was definitely racing. It may sound/look different because I took the framerate from 30 to 24FPS for a more cinematic look to match the rest of the footage, but we are certainly doing racing speeds. 2:06 at this track on street tires with a stock 4.6L engine isn't slow.
@@CWLemoine It looked like i could of taken my 96' dodge dakota and ate you all up LOL
Man it looked bad, but you have to admit inside turn versus outside turn is a question but i will give you the benefit of the doubt LMAO!
Love the videos keep it up
After watching the video in the pinned clip, i wish i still had my 77' chevy cam ( 350, 4 brl, 4sp man ) or my 72' olds cut with the 350 rocket ) LOL, i would have been in contention LOL
Feel free to post lap times.
@@CWLemoine I'd have to get a car LOL, When i was younger i may have taken you up on it, but not sure if i am going to get me a car toy again, i'm in to sit at home toys HAHAHA
Less brake more gas, you slow down way too early.
Post your lap times.
@@CWLemoine Been racing with Champcar car since 2016 And I have not raced NOLA. We may do it this year we will see.
@@a914freak cool. I’ll see you there then and we can compare notes.
Don’t go playing in our world. Stick with flying.
You're not my supervisor.
@@CWLemoine can I at least be lead?
Nope. 2, joker/bingo, lead you’re on fire is all i want to hear from you.
@@CWLemoine hahahaha you got it!
That had to be fun!
