You and your car are super fast. 1:30's?! Nice work!

I was only able to do the Thursday and Friday track days. Wow what a great group to drive with! I haven't had that much fun at a track day in long time. I hope to be able to do the entire weekend next year.

nice work with the track video. I want to cry in frustration at my own idiocy.. first time using gopro and it was set to "intermittent photography" mode while lapping in the 918. So.. i just checked my files and i have 10,000+ photographs.. but no video. I was really looking forward to it as there were some really really fun laps in that car, and the speed differential with other vehicles is pretty astonishing as a driver.. so would have made for some sick footage. Will be posting up some street driving footage later.. but nothing beats good lap video. oh well.

That sucks. You got GoPro'd! BTW, Sony rocks. That stuff doesn't happen with Sony because it should never be that easy to screw up like that. Their Karma drone is a sh!tshow too, from the reviews I have read.

funny enough, i thought about your previous post just now.. it was definitely user error on my end.. but when it's such unique footage, you want to punch the damn gopro to give you that moment back. Not easy to get a friend's 918 on track around so many other cars.. would have made for some really fun footage. ok, EF-IT.. not gonna think about it anymore. oh, and EF-gopro. never again.

Sean/Mayur, thanks for asking us out again and thank you to everyone that was patient for us. Last year I found out after the auction was over that there was a PEC event to be had and I missed out. Snagged it up this year and we are excited to see who won what from us as well(I know Rich is up in there somewhere no doubt hah!).

Wow.. what an awesome event. I could listen to those 918/GT3RS launch controls all day.

My first Smokies event and it was GREAT! Saw some old friends and made some new ones. Already looking forward to the Fall event.

Bloody Mary or Turkey Dinner?



My passenger doesn't have one yet. This was the theme for this trip.
