We did four in the first episode - I think we have ... eleven left? So probably three or four more episodes, depending on if more people send in cars for review.

How fortuitous.
That should get you new subscribers today.

I only had one day available this past week to do the review. Things can get crazy when you are in college full time, have a business to run that you are trying to expand (again full time), and running a youtube channel. I also had to go to a dinner event with two people from congress. I think I pissed off the election coordinator guy since I showed up to a formal dinner wearing work boots, cargo pants and a US Army sweat shirt still carrying my inspection equipment. But whatever.


You're quite the busy bee.
Say, when you are already having a business successful enough to meet congressmen, do you really need a college degree?

It would probably be very boring.

The video is processing now. Now to see if youtube processes it or if it gets stuck in processing which seems to happen every 5th video.

The degree is mostly for my own interest and I get GI Bill benefits to pay for it. I dont actually make that much money with my business yet (granted looking at my to do list its nearly 1k worth of work). I know one of the two congress people from helping them get elected.

The first BRC1966 reviews are at this link.

The video is still processing so you might need to wait half an hour or so.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [RACE 3 P&Q]

it said the video is private. is it just not done processing or something else?

update:
thx for the video genjeft, and everyone that was on it.

also i think you guys are mistaking the 2 cornering graphs on the suspension tab and the aero tab.
the graph on the suspension tab says it's a low speed cornering graphs
the super interesting graph on the aero tab says it's a high speed cornering graphs.

now, i just ruined my sleeping schedule again. or maybe i just won't sleep at all. :P

why the triple post?

Because I like to see my own typing (not really, I am just doing several things at once.)

Its public now, youtube did not save all my settings when it was uploaded.

Interesting to see that both mine and 07Cobaltgirl's have similar highspeed handling.

Re: BRC 1966 - Gentleman Brobots Club [RACE 3 P&Q]

Thanks for the reviews, GenJeFT and Packbat! Of course we get to see how they compare on the tracks, but it's always nice to see how they compare underneath as well. My car is essentially a production car converted for BRC racing. The engine is easily good for another 35-50hp, or it could be cut in quality and compression ratio to make it completely streetable. Same with suspension, which actually started as a sport setting and adjusted for racing. The car is *very loosely* based on a Corvette.

**Quick Trivia: This engine with 44.x reliability blew up (DNF-Engine Failure) during the second training at ATT! **

Looking forward to seeing the rest, and if you're up for it, I hope we get more submitted to review! :)
