That's a great video. That Falcon (and by extension, Buck's Tiger and
the other cars in that group) is pulling some serious cornering G - the
datalogger display showed 1.2G in either lateral direction. It also
shows you how sketchy the (1963-vintage) brakes are - he's only getting
about 0.6G of deceleration. I'm sure that he could do more, but only
once or twice and then that would be it for the brakes.
Cheers,
Theo
