Horsthair or horseass whatever your name maybe. Its time for you to check with your proctologist and get that constipated mass out of your rear end. I tried to be nice with you in the past when you mouth off about me and my friends and looks like being nice with you don't work. So here Is the scoop, I am not talking about you as much as you like to imagine I am. This is a free country and you can run with any track group you chose and I don't care what you think about me or anyone else for that matter when your psychosis act up
I have no problem running with folks on the track with 20 seconds delta or more and at times I am the slower car when I drive my civic. Take my advice, stop pretending you know what we are talking about between myself and my friends

For me, I had a blast going out and keeping up with the pack sometimes and sometimes going out and taking it a bit easier. No problem at all in someone running sub 2:00's or up into the 2:15+ range. It's not really about the speed, but how good a driver you are and the mutual respect for others on the track and in the paddock.
For me, getting passed by the train isn't so bad, I always learn something from following, even if its only for a few corners. :-)
Great job guys!

I've been thinking about passing rules in Red Group - it's hard to tell if people "want" a point by or they are settling in and would like a lead follow…I know sometimes I'm fine being behind someone and just following them and other times I want a point
I've been thinking of suggesting "lights-on/lights-flash" mean's you want a point - and if your lights are "off" then you're happy to settle in behind them and they should "do their best" and see if you can keep up…
I love lead/follow and sometimes I want to lead and other times follow - so I'm interested in a specific gesture while on track that's easy to see so that people's intentions are clear, simple and I don't "hold people" up…

Good points, David. We're always looking for great cooperation and communication between drivers on track. Hand communications seem to work fairly well: a tap on the mirror to the car behind tells him that I know he's there and will point him by asap. And if I just want to follow a car for a bit, I'll just wave off the point and stay tucked in. It all works out.

Put green circle decals on rear window to let experienced drivers know u just graduated to advanced grp. Gives you some insite that driver is new. NASA does that if hpde 3 is grouped with hpde 4 which is totally open passing. Mike

Let me say that the group that runs red group in PCA are a very clean and respectful bunch. Nobody really cares how fast or slow you are, as long as you treat other drivers with care and respect. PCAGGR is one of the best in that regards. Bragging and bench racing is also supposed to be fun and not meant to be demeaning. It's a shame that conflicts like what has been posted here happen, but it is the exception.
As someone said, there is always someone faster, check your ego at the door.

FWIW, I think everybody did a great job at TH. Watching the GT3s and others have some nice, friendly, respectful track driving was a blast. Doesn't get any better than that. And I got to see it from on track and up in the tower.
For me, I had a blast going out and keeping up with the pack sometimes and sometimes going out and taking it a bit easier. No problem at all in someone running sub 2:00's or up into the 2:15+ range. It's not really about the speed, but how good a driver you are and the mutual respect for others on the track and in the paddock.

We have a great group of fun track nuts. Like you said, it's not about who is faster but the challenge each driver faces with their machine and that can vary so much given track temp, tire pressure etc
mikymu = hammer picture - bad week... i ran over something on the freeway and later i found out that it was hammer that split into my side skirt of my dd... i just laughed when i saw it. SO whats the chance .. wth.. dirty LA freeway.
I like the video mikymu... mooty was just tailing you the whole time.. great driving both of you guys... much to learn from your videos. Any overlay to show gas/brake % input?

man ... that hammer on your prius is just crazy
So, camera mouts - as you can see the first mount has the right height but shimmy side to side and crate unsteady image. second mount is too low and further back (you need to take out your passenger seat).
What you need is this i/o port camera mount. It does not allow side to side movement like your taller mount and you need to add a gopro tripot mount and few arm extension and I will show you how to work the wifi so you can aim the video then you will be golden.
we also need to do something about your gopro sound. wind noise dominate too much and we may need to get a mic extension near exhaust to give it a nice kick
lastly, ditch your iphone and use AIM sole DL. it plug right into your OBDII port and will give you engine data, accurate lap time etc unlike iphone

You wont get nearly as many useful channels and a slower data rate if you use the obdII connector on a GT3 (Bosch ECU). Tap into the CAN line if you want all the good stuff (brake pressure, TPS, steering angle, oil pressure, oil temp, rpm, individual wheels speed, etc).
