| Fun times yesterday. Here is my fastest run. This was my 7th run, and i hit 2 cones, though i don't know where. 74.77 +2. My best clean was 75.0 on my final run. A little sloppy, i know. Still figuring out the new suspension. The video quality is crappy. http://www.vimeo.com/12902200 Looking for a new camera for the car. Something that records to an SD card. Tired of tapes. HD would be nice. Any suggestions?

Here's my vid. This was one of my afternoon runs. My fastest run never got recorded (last run 75 with a cone) because I forgot to shut the camera off in between our 20 minute downtimes in between runs  Jon you already know what camera to get.
The camera is such a nice learning tool. I've already learned so much from this video. At around 1:25 where I basically drift the entire turn coming onto the back runway, I should have straightened the wheel out, tapped the brake and then turned because I am essentially always turning in that section causing the rear end to come out. I think overall I need to unwind the wheel sooner as to not unsettle the rear of the car. Anyways here it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D5lmHM9CHY[/quote]Did you forget to push in the clutch when you stopped in the stop box? I had 2 clean runs all day. I think the short cones are silent because I never knew where I hit them. Mat was with me and he did not know where either. Maybe I need a rear view camera.

Mussel Kar (6/28/2010)Did you forget to push in the clutch when you stopped in the stop box? I had 2 clean runs all day. I think the short cones are silent because I never knew where I hit them. Mat was with me and he did not know where either. Maybe I need a rear view camera. Your first run in the morning you took one out in the triple cone slalom, if that helps.

That may have been the only cone I heard. Went off course at corner 3 on that run.

Nope. What you are seeing is me pushing the remote I have mounted right near my instrument cluster. That noise is me pushing in the clutch, it did not stall.

| I couldn't figure out a few corners yesterday: -Coming off the sweeper into the big clamshell and leaving to go into the 3 cone slalom... I could never hit that clean no matter who's advice I took.. I always managed to find a way to plow and slow down through that -The chicago box I felt like I was squeezing in there slowly to just avoid hitting the cones -The last few gates before the finish line were painfully slow.. though I think for the timing lights' sake it was a good idea to make that section slow
