Short little in-car video during NARRA USGT Race #1 at Road Atlanta Feb 26th, 2011. Smoke comes out of the right side hood vents which is where the breather is located then me trying to figure out what’s wrong and then noticing my oil pressure at zero. Damn! As quickly as I could, I turned off the key and coasted to the side and watched the race from a primo position.
The smoke is a little hard to see in the video. It was quite obvious from where I was sitting at the time. Oil pressure was good before entering turn 1, I see smoke about at turn 3, and notice the oil presure was at zero in the esses and shut it down.
This is my in-car video of the full race (well, full race for me) at Road Atlanta during the NARRA USGT Race #1. I blew a rod bearing in the 10th lap and watched from the side of the track in turn 5 for the duration of the race. I was terrified of Road Atlanta at first. But, by this race, I was getting more comfortable with it. Too bad I didn’t get to race on Sunday. I really need to bring an extra motor with me just in case.
