I think someone is suffering from memory loss. We all know the iPhone lap timer is as precise as the $2k system.

Oh sorry, iPhone $1k, TomTom GPS crate $100, Harris app $20. Does that make it feel better?

I can't open vid on phone app, but I blew down shift into second gear and wasn't letting me shift for a few seconds. I was sitting and praying Steve wasn't goin to slam into me. Good job Steve avoiding me! Very fun session regardless.

I felt I was going in too hot every corner the entire day or my brakes weren't working that great. It was probably a combo of both as I finally lost brakes during happy hour going into 17. Luckily it was on the back straight so I just drove straight at 17 turn in, pumped brakes, pitted, and drove right onto trailer. Day over. SRF in yesterday.

Nah iPhone doesn't count in expense as it is not specific for timing only, maybe double the total investment to $20

I've been doing some extra left arm exercises in the gym preparing for point bys. I'll be testing my arm fitness there on Nov 3.

Glad everything was OK! You were either going in a bit quick in corners or braking a bit late. Either way, I made sure I left a good margin between us for code brown moments. All is good and it was great fun.

iPhone app absolutely pointless for beginners. Only purpose is to brag about times. Doesn't teach you anything....

2k system lets you do data analysis to become a better driver.

Ouch...taking your gloves off now?

I got video with iPhone app, and time. And Gopro, that is what have. Yes, the data is not as complete but for now the $2k is going into seat time.

Don't prefer gloves. Makes my hands sweaty....

Just responding to your 2k comment. Hero lap isn't important. Laps around hero lap is what counts. Consistency is key. Randy killed me on that, so now I am passing it along to you....

Nick is correct

Once u learn to drive the proper line around the track, iPhone timer and go pro is useless to get quick

Overlaying consistent velocity / time graphs are important...then overlaying ur data with someone else who is quicker helps you find time

This is how Peter got me quick....I learned to read data quick
