Thanks as I am lonely without The World Famous Trakcar coming to the track anymore.

I think you guys should come to Miller. Late September is usually very nice, I'll throw one of my after track day pool party barbecues

What? You guys are all several seconds per lap faster than me. I'm not shaming anybody.

Personally I would only run my el cheapo Honda civic there
Sears point is my favorite track. If Clarke is going through all the trouble of making it out here, he should include it. Just be cautious and don't drive 10/10ths.

Lol. Sorry about that, the mic is shot.

I'm hoping the Smartycam HD is going to be the ticket when it comes out. I don't want to do a whole lot of post processing.

Maybe or just impatient like him.

Jeeze, I duck out for a couple of days and miss this! Can't wait for this move to finally be over in 2 weeks so I can get back to important things...like DE days.

drl, you also have util hookup and bathroom/water privileges shortly in Marin too. 15 mins to Sonoma Raceway and a little closer to Thunderhill than Mooty

Either way, just like the S2000 you ran a beautiful lap in that video. Smooth, carrying speed through each corner, not over braking, precision apexing and tracking out. I enjoyed watching very much (aside from the wind noise and lack of engine noise!)

drl: car and house contents arrive in 2 weeks. First track dates in June or July. Had her aligned this past weekend while I was home.

We could help with that, there is a spot inside the park where garage renters can keep trailers, I would just have to let security know. They have 24 hour security in the Park.
