unfortunately, tree huggers dont like diesels... all these clean energy convinced the state that they will only give fast lane carpool to electric cars now. i would get a diesel commuter if they gave out those stickers. yes.. crap box.. it is a death box.. tin can on battery.. u kick the car and airbag will deploy.

now back to regular program...

we need more video from past weekend!!

Crap, I was just behind you a little way and saw all the dust go up too. Sorry, for the incident but at least you stayed safe.

Here is my video contribution. My microphone wasn't working so there isn't any sound.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that next time I'm up there.

Looks like I was the only one here in the green group... got to work harder to graduate up. Thank you all for posting your videos, I wish I could have watched them before the event. I can see lots of place I need to adjust my line. This was my first time at TH so lots to learn. Here's my video contribution... a few random laps from Saturday afternoon at a rather slow pace compared to all you guys

I decided to try a foot camera, why do you guys thin? Keep it or ditch it?

[too lazy to make another data overlay dash so using my M3 dash, Sorry!]

Gotta love an S54. I still miss mine. One comment I saw a lot of short shifting and wonder if it was deliberate. I edited my comments to reflect my boneheaded vision that had you still in an M3. Guess I need new glasses.

tim, if you have to trail into T1, your car must have a lot of push?
it's a fast turn, you should need to trail.
i would brake early on the straight, turn in and wot, aim for the dude in the flag station who's not paying attention.

i trail into 10

The only time I trail braked t1 and practically on any tite radius turns- when my car was aligned with major understeer- boy it was frustrating. Without a pushy car I trail brake on 10/11/14 and wot it. Mike

what's that hammer doing in your avatar?

Here is a video from Sunday afternoon. It was super hot and I don't do well when driver overheat. Running 2-3 seconds slower compare with morning session. Got some shots of all the fast GT3/RS in my group

Mikymu,

Did you like my Charlie Chaplin video? Maybe I should have shot it in black and white.

If I go to your group, it won't be much chasing you and I might end up a like road block or speed bump for you guys when you lap me.

Maybe, Tim will put me in the red group next time we go.

Yes, I love it when there is fast car to play around with. mooty run on nuclear fusion, heat does not bother him at all but he falls asleep in morning session. I was holding him up in the afternoon while I see double and suffer from heat stroke

I am sure you will have audi/video all setup next time. Yes, ask Tim to get in the red group. running with fast car will make you go that much faster. In advance group some cars have 20+ seconds delta lap time so as long as you are not doing 2:30 then you should be fine
