THIS is why I spend a bunch of time with experienced drivers re-acclimating online, remotely and privately with the clients (them on their steering wheel and sim at home, me at VIR or at my home on my sim), one-on-one, talking them through each phase of each corner, with a minimum of three permanent landmarks for establishing sight pictures, going over hazards as well as opportunities and establishing priorities before they go...

It's too easy NOT to do this and drivers hit the ground running. Jason Hart and I do this (among others) and now, with it possible to do it easily remotely, there's no reason why not, especially for those traveling from far away and once a year.

Randy is using Video VBOX Lite, purchased from and supported by me. Best SD video quality there is.

Wait until we get steering wheel and accelerator pedal position. THEN, it will be unbelievably useful.

I was still able to give Randy tips just looking at the data file he e-mailed me while we were troubleshooting the CAN connection.

But with Ron in the seat, he didn't need any more help.

I will have fully functional Vbox (including CAN wires connected) at Chin December Sebring DE. No idea how to use it since Red Bear won't be there with us. Need Izzy and TC to show me how to use it.

Traqmate is getting on my nerves, they haven't updated the computer software in like 18 months. The dates from my traqdash show a year of 1969 or something stupid and I have to search to find the most recent sessions. As much as I have liked and utilized it, I can't deal with their snail paced updates and improvements that aren't bright gimmick displays and makeshift/piecemeal $1000 camera systems.

While Im at it Traqdash complete for sale..........

^ You're supposed to say how 'good' it is if you want to sell it, not trash it in the add.
