Actually, according to the data, 10-15 was no different, but I picked up a tenth at most of the other corners. At this point, it not about a single corner. It's about tweaking out and getting every single corner right. You screw up one corner, and the lap is done. This is why the 5 mile is really tough. I can't imagine how hard it is to nail every turn at the ring.

Congrats! Legit time and on the board! Rules of the thread say you gotta post a video or shot of the time for it to go up on the board.

Thanks! Proof is a good idea (although I was just going by the 1st post in the thread that mentioned only proof for lap time leaders )

Harry's lap timer with external gps unit. Interestingly, with external gps, I matched the organizer's transponder down to the hundredth of a second. Could be just coincidence though.

If I'm reading right, your time puts you at #2!
Yes, I too have found gps times nearly identical to transponder. I'll bet if the start/stop markers were exactly the same they would be identical

Looking forward to learning more and slightly decreasing the 3.6 second gap to 1st!

I have my Aim solo data I can download from the car. My Aim camera system is having a problem. It is operational and seems to be recording. When I take the disc home and pop it into my laptop there is nothing on it. I re-formatted the card Friday when I ran and same result.

It it has only worked once for me. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong....

On a side note - the two changes to the car were the addition of my new wheels with fresh RE71's in the 255/305 combo and the TPC toe links. The toe links have made a dramatic change to the car as it doesn't get loose and unstable under heavy braking. I can stuff the car a lot deeper and harder now.

The downside to the TPC links is that I lost inboard clearance and had to run a 5mm spacer. We are going to modify the links as I plan to run a 265/315 R7 combo on the car at COTA in June.

I would have gone under 1:20 easily with the car but I only ran 5 laps to scrub in the new tires for Road Atlanta this coming weekend.

MSR time is flying. WOW. What kind of memory card are you using? Maybe it is corrupted and damaged or does it have sliding "write protection" on? Im just throwing some ideas out there. Try using high quality and fast memory card. I use Sandisk Extreme Plus on smartycam and it seems to work fine.

I swapped out the disc that came with the smarty cam for one that was 128GB. I think what may have happened was the last time I used it someone removed the disc while the camera was powered up. It may have been recording at the time it was removed. I know I have read a warning that you can brick the disc if you do that.

I had reformatted that card in the hope that I could save it. Looks like that was a no-go.

Looking forward to laying down some times at Road Atlanta next weekend! Car is seriously fast now.

There is a configuration file that needs to be on the smart disc or it will not record. I don't have my computer in front of me. , but my friends had this problem when they tried to use their own cards in my smartycam instead of the one I had it setup with.

Check out the Dtas Acquisition forum. I believe that there was a recent post regarding the 128 GB card having issues with SmartyCam.
