I probably should have clarified, sorry. Adam went to a Saturday autox and the results I posted was from Sunday's time trials.

Which event are you going to?

If you're tired of being an odd ball, I can give you my DE for your HR.

Chris P ran a some really good times out there...as for me I just didn't get my lines as great as I'd liked to.

But For Chris P to beat that Grand Sport Vette & The Z06 from Dean Yamamoto is very well done !

I'm just glad I posted up faster than the majority of the cars and even some I thought I'd be slower than....like the blk 911 turbo porsche.

OK, so I know this is crappy quality...but I wanted to show the 2 camera angles from inside and outside the car...I think it synced up pretty well.

My best run time was 72.1 And most of my runs were really tight together.

please don't pay any attention to the crap on the sides of the monitor.

I'll post up each video separately on You Tube.

So here you go:

Here's a vid of my 2 best runs from Saturday. I was third in class, apparently, not second as I thought.

Coming out of grid you're technically on a cold, untimed lap. Once you cross the start/finish line your time starts on hot laps.

He's using State Farm bank. That's who I financed my bike and Z with. Kind of convenient having insurance and loan all in the same place. Plus they have good rates and term lengths.

Ok....So I took all of my morning runs and all the afternoon runs and averaged them out. Even though my fastest single lap was in the morning, I still had an over all faster average lap time for the afternoon runs.

I only say this because I changed my line up a little bit in the afternoon on the Toiletbowl Double Apex turn....I started to take it like a long sweeper and stay tighter throughout the whole Radius. It sure felt like it was a bit quicker for lap times....but a didn't reflect it on my times for the afternoon.

Averaged morning lap times - 366.812 ÷ 5 = 73.362
Averaged afternoon times - 366.241 ÷ 5 = 72.940

All my lap times were so close together....I think 74.6 - 72.1 was my lap variations.

Here is the high res. video from the AM runs from Go-Pro top mount.

Nice racing Chris.

You've got to do the troll hair mod to kill wind noise.

^ Everybody asks me about the fur on my GoPro, lol. It works pretty well as a wind noise reducer, though, and I always know which one is mine.


Good driving, Chris!

^ See attached

You can add an external mic using the jack at the bottom, but you need a skeleton housing for that.

Pretty sure the car has 69.X or faster, but I'm clearly not there yet.

Here's a video of my 2 best runs that were run back to back (70.868 and 71.002, respectively). Not bad for my first time out at MSR. The lap (4th) after this felt faster but I did a 4-5-3 instead of a 4-3 shift so I ended up running slower.

On the 5th lap, I wanted to replicate the failed 4th lap but do it faster. I think I overdrove then forgot to downshift to 3rd, then threw the car off balance, lol. I ran out of skill and this was the result:



BTW, this is my first time editing videos, so I'd appreciate any and all feedbacks.

MSR looks like a blast. I have to watch out for the next one of these.

Nice job Chris F&P.
Park what resolution setting were you using on the gopro?

I think your editing looks great with all the angles.

Chris P.... Well done on the video editing.

I'm not sure about the rear view cam...unless there was a car behind you. But all in all, we'll done. Maybe a lower side angle would be cool next time.
Too bad we couldn't all run together like when me and Scott ran out there.

I like the multi editing on the spin....I'm just glad you didn't hurt or break anything....except for the rear camber arm.

Are you gonna post some of Eric's footage ?

Scott, you off for this next TMS event ?
