Cheers. AIM SmartyCam (link)

In other news, I have a Dell & GT3 video compiling, so I'll get it posted later tonight or in the morning.

Here's Dell with me in the right seat in my car. I was in the right seat so I could make sure I got my keys back when we were done.

Dell-has the tt softened u up abit because it looks like u way too courteous : ). Mike

Yeah....where's the old Dell that would fly through a series of turns and yell "Woo Hoo!" at the end just as he realized he almost died?

Thanks for that I will have a look. Have been looking longingly at the VBOX 2 camera setup to replace my HD GoPro and PBox but can't justify the almost $3k.

Regarding the Aim SmartyCam, I'm using one too and their latest firmware allows true data logging and analyzing with their Race Studio2 software. I'm testing their Beta release... Got mine on Ebay for <$1k and I'm very happy with it. It's small, self contained, connects to ECU and well supported...

Hey HEY HEY! How fast would you drive someone else’s GT3 with trashed DOTs!? Remember, he was also partly instructing - see the hands?

For the ~$1k investment, it’s a tough package to beat IMO. When you are ready for more data, just add more modules – but per Lou, sounds like AIM has good things planned for the SC.

Well, I do want to drive again in the future

Oh, he's still in there, he's just afraid of giving Scott a coronary when he sees his car's life flashing before his eyes

It's funny how your perspective changes from the passenger seat because it can feel so different there when you don't have any control over the car.

I'm glad you guys had a great time.

LVDell

Nothing wrong with dialing it back from time to time. But it is sooooooooooooooooo hard

AllanJ

I love data logging but it's simply another lubricant to a very slippery slope, especially when you get someone faster than you to drive your car. Then there it is - in glorious colors and graphs - what you need to work on to get to the next level.

At the track day I was at last week, I blew away my previous personal best so I'm really happy. Looking at the data for my fast lap and comparing it to others, I found one turn where I over-braked by 2mph going into it. That cost me 0.2 seconds. I also found out I didn't get as good an exit onto the main straight. Cost me more time there. Just those two things and I'd have easily been in the 1:14's and that's screaming fast for my local track.

With a "perfect" lap, just how fast can my car go? I'm so hooked on this stuff.

AllanJ

I think we all know the feeling. Go find those rose petals.

don't forget the dom...

Lucky that bed didn't catch on fire with all those candles!

the fire comes later when the candles are blown out, and you get to make a wish..
