Headed back to The Ridge tomorrow! Have my GT2 seats in, harnesses in, wheel studs installed and torqued, will be doing detailed tire temps and also experimenting with some of the lines I read about in Driving on the Edge, great book if you haven't read it!

Who else is going?

I'm not signed up but may come down for a bit and check things out. I've been curious to see how the Turn 2 events are run.

Have a blast and drive safely! Best track in PNWR.

Long way to come down to not come out! Tom is a class act and runs a safe and super fun HPDE...

Thanks!

Vid's will be up this weekend, should be far superior to last time!

Start of the day 2:04.xx end of the day strung 5 laps together at 1:57.33- 1:57.45!

Goal was to get under 2:00.00 Mission Accomplished!

Gaining a bunch of confidence, later braking and getting comfortable with starting to "steer" with the brakes and throttle...

How was it driving in your new seats and harnesses? In San Diego this weekend. Will be at PRI turn 2 9/27 and ridge racing school lapping 9/29.

Seats/Harnesses were great, very supportive and aided me in going faster. Also used my NecksGen (Hans) for the first time, was nice!
I"ll see you on the 27th at PRI, not going to make the 30th, sounds like a fun day!

So I did some split time analysis on my day and my last rolling lap of the day was a best of 1:50.52. I pulled up going down the front straight, so the lap was a rolling lap from the previous through this one. This just tells me I"m on the right path.

Now my videography skills on the other hand...

I finally figured out how to get things configured, I have to turn off the internal mic and I need to fix the exposure to a spot outside the car. Anyway, here's my crappy video... The ones from Pacific this week will be better...

A 1:50, wow that is a good time. Do you have the video of that. I have yet to drive the ridge, but would like to see the video.

Jamie_GT3

The time is adding my split times of the two laps in the video in the you tube link above. The 2nd lap I pulled up on the straight... I was surprised when my SOLO showed me the split report with a 1:50.52! definitely know where I can go faster now!

NorthVan

Are you referring to the predictive time on the Solo?

Jamie_GT3

No it's when you download your laps into the Race Analysis software and look at your split time report (the track is broken into segments for you to see if you're for example getting through turn 8 faster or slower). A fastest rolling lap starts at a given segment and ends at the same segment on the next lap. My fastest rolling lap started at 12/13 and finished there.

NorthVan

got it, I haven't played with any of the software.
