Default Willow Springs Time attack vid

My friend just got done setting up the vid from my GoPro. Any feedback on the driving will be nice. My fastest run was actually in my second session but didn't get recorded. I believe this run was a 140, 140 and 139

No just that metal garbage... Why didnt you allow the best music to play? The drivetrain and tire sounds.

Good clean driving. Believe it or not I think you have a 36-37 in ya with a couple of tweaks to your lines (and reasonable track temps).

In the break of the music you can hear it. The Gopro just recorder really faint. The second session i pulled the O ring from the gopro , but when i started the recording it only took a picture. Next vid will have some nice backstreet boys or Insinc to satisfy people.

If you want real feedback, ditch the music and the high school video class artsy stuff. We need to hear engine note, braking, and shifting. Also, a camera angle showing you would help.

You apex on 3 is a bit early and you're not coming out far enough on the exit. Try to drive straight up to the top of 4. You also were a couple feet out of the apex of 4a (the pothole just past the corner station). 4 is driven more like a motocross corner.

You're a little wide on the apex of 9. You should feel the right front wheel fall into a little hole at the apex.

You're also pinching the car down on the inside of 2. Let it track out to about 1/2 track (before the the camber goes off) before turning in to the second apex.

You got better with above points as the video progressed. Good drive.

I agree on a couple of pinched/early apexes which keep you out of the throttle for a little bit.

Hey Terrasmak, how much time did you need for 3rd in class (I know Paul Dentise's 370z was around the 34's with the win)?
