Use the TrackAddict app on my phone this time. I like the editing software much more than what GoPro has.

Guys, the TrackAddict app for the phone is great. So good I bought the software editing program for the computer.
Next is to get a compatible OBD bluetooth tool to sync with the app on the phone.

Here's the full first session.
Keep an eye out for the Black 350z (turboed) that was blowing oil out the exhaust... BAD

So, I noticed I had a lot of slop in the clutch pedal before it would engage. After looking at the clutch until I seen theres a adjustment screw/nut. I loosened up the nut and spun in the switch 3,4 turns. I then tightened the nut back down and boom slop in the clutch pedal is gone.

First time being on a different track. I've been on PittRace for years and nothing else.

Passing Porches and V8's = a good day.

Here's the first session out. I was faster than the Yellow Supercharged Camaro in the corners but kept running into traffic and couldn't pull away from him after he pointed me by.

So, I brought my buddy with me on track. The Z's driving dynamics changed A LOT with 230lbs in the passenger seat.

He road with me twice then decided he was good. He told me after the second session out, he could go a third but I'll be cleaning barf out of the car if he did go.
(Car does not have a harness for the passenger. And you can tell the way he's flopping around the seat. LOL)

LOL
