Details of Mazdatrix Drag Racing Video Volume 1
Palmdale, LACR, 05/22 and 23/99 Battle of the Imports
Day Camera Tape Notes
Saturday Outside 00:00 Runs 1 - 4, running poor, but getting better as we adjust the injection. (please remember this is our first public outing on a new car, with NO drag racing experience, and only one test session)
I was told we would have an "import" tree (2 seconds), note the "pro" tree (4/10 second) that I was NOT ready for!
05:45 Pan of pits from on top of trailer, shot of Ray Lockheads car
Sunday Outside 07:58 Runs 1 and 2
10:45 Ray's burnout and race with Abel
11:22 Runs 3 and 4 - finally getting better?
Saturday In - car 12:47 Run 1 (the Sony 8mm camera does NOT like the electrical interference and vibration!) - again, note the "Pro" tree I was NOT expecting!
14:45 Run 2 & Great crash shot of 13B Starlet while I was in the burnout box.
16:55 Run 3
20:49 Run 4 - great viewing of the burnout smoke inside the car.

Outside 43:01 Run #2 - just ran completely FLAT, and we never found out why.

In - car 44:22 Run #2 - can really hear how flat it was, and how late the nitrous comes on.
Outside 51:34 Run #3 -- rear shocks need more adjusting (great example of why we shoot the video)
Sunday Outside 52:29 Exhibition run we did with Abel
In - car 53:35
Outside 55:39 Semi-finals against Abel (we lost by 4/10 second)
