Hey all,

Here's a few clips from VIR with Trackdaze on Jun 4-5. About 25 minutes total taken with a GoPro. I was the lone F-Bod, although there were a couple of Gen Vs in the green group that I never saw on track.

Jun 4, Session 2 - Cockpit
Jun 4, Session 4 - Cockpit
Jun 5, Session 2 - Nose
Jun 5, Session 3 - Roof

These are my first vids and are great for some self-analysis. Definitely see ways to shave some time in the Left Hook_pre-Snake, entry to the Roller Coaster (post back straight), and the Hogpen (pair of turns on entry to the front straight).

Should have a roll bar, seat and harness the next time out and then start some left-foot braking in earnest. It's a little challenging with your knees splayed east and west (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) .

Thanks! The t-top glass and upside-down option on the GoPro work well to get some driver action.

Yeah, turn 1 is deceptively slow. Here's a another short clip where I thought about cutting some grass in 1. That's a Lancer Evo I let by - same one I chased down in one of the other vids - ha (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) . I like them - they're fast. You can see him spit a little fire out the back after turn 10.

The rear tires are 4 yrs old, but I always feel the turn should be faster. I see what he's doing, staying tighter inside, so he straigtens things out earlier. Slower in, faster out. Seems I've heard that somewhere before (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I'll work on this line the next time out.

I won't make it with the BMW group, but will keep my eyes with them as another run group. I've got about 3 big balls up in the air right now, and really want the bar and seat in the next time out. Hopefully Chin in Oct or Trackdaze in Nov.

I'm 6' even, and remember reading about your trials and tribulations with your seat install. I've got Alan Blaine fabbing some brackets for the stock posts to accept a Kirkey Intermediate Road Race seat, and plan to simply swap the stock seat out for events.
