I have a Lindsey set up for sale for $415 plus shipping.

Thanks

Thanks for the video. Good lap.

Lines looks the same but it is weird not seeing corner workers right at the old oak tree corner (feet away) protected by the large oak tree. Looks smooth, lap time are better, great track. I don't think the tree was removed, it came down in a storm.

Those were some nice lateral acceleration numbers in your video. Looks like you have a nice setup.

Yes, Oak Tree corner is a little bit more difficult without the visual references, plus they've widened it at the entrance and exit. So it is just a question of getting used to it.

The other oak tree that I will miss is the one that was on the start/finish line. By removing it, they were able to push the guardrail back which is certainly safer, if less aesthetically pleasing.

Thanks! The 944 Turbo, with some suspension work, certainly represents a great bang for the buck.

Doing DE's though, is starting to get frustrating because of the lack of straight line acceleration. Can't tell you how often I get behind a Mustang or Cayman in the twisties and then they leave me on the following straight. I immediately catch up in the braking zone. Rinse and repeat.

Maybe it is just a mis-perception on my part, but it seems like I get a blue flag at the first corner a fast car catches me (and I was checking my mirrors so I knew they were coming and was readying to give them a point by), whereas I can follow another car for a full lap and they never get a blue flag. Are corner workers biased against 944's?!?!? (Woe is me!)

Great video, thanks for sharing.

What type of data / video set up is that, looks great.
I assume you can download the data and graph? Would be interested to learn more about it, thanks. Would also be curious to learn what suspension mods you've done, considering some myself.

is your motor stock? straight line acceleration isnt something you hear most 951 owners complaining about. With just a chip and a 3 bar FPR you'd be walking away from a cayman or mustang. It's super easy and cheap to get these cars to 280ish rwhp and 300+ rwtq.

I like how you have your instrument cluster set up. I used mine like that for almost 2 months after my daily driver died and my 944 was my only form of transportation.

Thanks!

So, I combine the data off the Solo with the video off the XD1080 with RaceRender. Now that I've done it a lot, it only takes me about 3 or 4 minutes to sync the data and video.

And there is plenty of data to be analyzed in RaceStudio, that comes with the Solo.

Although, I think if I had it to do over today, I would start with a SmartyCam HD and build from there.

Yeah, I've been trying not to do anything that wouldn't be legal in '44 Super Cup. But maybe I ought to reconsider unless and until I start racing.

It was amazing how heave the dash was. Must have been 50 pounds! I'm all about free speed!

PorscheDoc

Go with a new aftermarket rail. We see so many 944 rails failing now, I just wouldn't trust a used rail anymore.

mj951

Nice setup, again thanks for sharing.

I was using the tree for a visual marker to determine where the kink was on the straight. That kink at speed can be a SOB if you turn in it. Going to have to use the buildings now...thanks for the heads up.
