The battery. On my GoPro died but got 14 min of the first session. The mont location of the camera isn't the best but will post it up later tonight.

Oh by the way, had a great time a posted my best lap time, a 2 min 14 sec lap. Installed a water meth kit last night a made a big difference since my supercharger doesn't have an inter cooler. I will do a mild tune later but helps keeps things cooler and makes more boost.

Had a ton of fun. My last few laps were my best of the day. I finished with a best lap of 2:18.094. I had splits set up dividing the track into 3 parts and if I had put my 3 best splits together I could have run a 2:15.906, so I need to work on hitting all sections of the track the best I can next time.

Hit a top speed of 123mph on the day but on my fastest lap only hit 121. Took some tweaking to get my lap tracker app to work right but once I got the start/finish line dialed in so it wasn't missing it as I drove by it was much better.

Ron's Miata was definitely faster around the track. I can still pull him in a straight line but he smokes me through the turns. But with some practice and eventually with some suspension work and better tires I think I'll be able to hang right with him lap time-wise.

I'm going to go through my camera and see what all my wife got. She took some videos and quite a few pics so I'll post the ones that are good. It doesn't take the best video because it's just a regular digital camera and about 8 years old but I'll see what's on there.

Here are the pictures that were halfway decent. Our camera doesn't zoom in all that far so the resolution isn't very good. Plus it's old and only like 4MP. Forgive the wind noise on the videos. You can at least get an idea of what my car and Ron's Miata sound like though.

Ron's Miata

Operator's A4

dsm_luck's WRX

Probably easiest to right-click Save As on these videos.

Nice pics and videos!

It was a blast. Definitely want to go again after I take care of the tire and brakes issues and get some actual lap times. Although I wills say that after the first two runs my brakes got significantly better. Maybe the first two times out I was burning off crap from the install I did the night before? The tires are garbage though. Massive sidewall flex and got very slimy when heated. Anyone know where to get some good summers 235/45-17's for cheap? haha

I actually like that camera location!

Yea I was definitely slow those first few laps. Did get a lot better by the end of the day though. Still not enough to be faster around the track than Ron though. Similar power levels in a car that weighs 1000 lbs less and has full suspension and new tires is a lot to make up for hehe.

Eric definitley got faster and that's the beauty of the track, you get tons of time to dial things in. That Mustang is fast and just needs a little suspension for the track but that is it. And to perfectly honest, the pass at the end was the result of sever break fade and was kind of scary but looks good on film. We will have to set one of these events up again because it is so much fun!

Been a long day ;-)

Ignore the HUD, the GPS was off due to my signal.

Lucas riding along with me, trying to encourage me along the way. My cold side intercooler piping came off, towards the end of the run.

Those videos you just posted came out well. Its fun to see everyone elses perspective.

When you the chance throw up the other vids. Did the one from my WRX come out? I brought my gopro with no memory card. Remembered to grab my mount and fully charge it but forgot to grab the card. Yea seriously so whatever you got from that run is all i have.

We need to go again at least one more time this year.

Oh and screw one day off work weeks. You have my sympathy. I hate that...
