Great videos. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun or at least a lot of entertaining moments! Did you get to look at anymore data on teh weekend?

Sorry for not stopping back by on Saturday. I came down with a sinus infection on Saturday and stayed hidden the whole day except when on track.

Shoot me an email at seth@seththomas.net and let's see when we can do some coaching!

Brinkley, I guess that you didn't drive the 6-hour enduro on Thursday. I was driving in Super Solo for 4 days. We left at lunch on Sunday with a long ride home to PA. Here is video that I shot on Friday - http://www.vimeo.com/2856674 in the last session.

I was a great event, but many of the DE sessions got cut short due to racing cleanup. There were 2 Ford GT's that had a "bad" day on Saturday. One (silver) had a minor fire after hitting the wall at T1 and the other (blue) got messed up, too.

Brinkley,
Thanks for posting the excellent vids. I recall watching your red boxster. It looked nicely settled from my spectating points at the T1 bumps, T15/16, and into T17. It sounds awesome. It was interesting to me how smoothly the 911s (and your box) handled the rough surfaces whereas the BMWs seemed to be more nervous and stiffly sprung.

Regarding the Ford GTs: I was near the T1 corner stand when the #40 Robertson GTR passed a group of cars on the inside. The right rear suspension collapsed mid corner causing a lurid slide to the outside of T1. The driver kept the GTR off the wall, but was collected by a lavender (eew) Spec Miata. An engine compartment fire ensued. The blue GTR was fast on the straights but seemed to lead a conga line through the corners.

My solo group sessions ended in smoke on day one when I neatly executed a 3-2 shift near the Star/Finish. The motor died entering T13.

Boyd,
What do you mean by this line?

"I wathched the one and thoght what happened to the great drivers in Super Solo, a little scary and shouldnt be"

This is the Race Group not SS so there is a little more assertiveness, maybe?

Seth,

Thank you very much for the help. After we spoke I laid down a 2:25.8 during Saturday's race, which was 3 seconds better than my previous best. Only you and your teammate "Clay" had better times in our class!. I posted a video of that lap in another thread but here is the link:

I know there is more time to be had and will continue to work with the feel of the new LSD. Christian and I will keep in touch regarding additional time.

Seth,
I've been looking over my sector times as you discussed. What do you think when my Best Lap is .2 sec from the Eclectic Lap.
My Rolling Min Time = My Best Lap Time! is that good?

Email me your data and let me look over it.

From the sentence above it appears like you were doing everything right. From what we discussed this weekend, I think there is something going on with the eclectic compared to the Rolling minimum on your PC. Let me see if I get the same info on mine.

Dude, great driving. I especially like that you went thru each gear on your downshifts. This was a big topic for debate in another thread a while back. Glad that it's more than just Seth & me & a few other folks who do this religiously.
