Default Road Atlanta DE - Roll Call

Last one for the year w/ PCA. Who is going?

The weather so far looks to be great.
High of 66 and 68 and Sunny. Cold Mornings in the 40's!

The engines should be breathing nicely! Keep them tires warm. :-)

I'll be at the MotorWerks Racing Tent (Red & Black Truck near Track Entrance)

I'll be there, likely helping with tech, and parked somewhere near there. About to find out how hectic it is instructing and driving. White 951 with gold stripes, #156. Probably have my nose buried in my Droid following the Tech game Saturday afternoon. Real name is Harry if anyone wants to say hello.

Great DE put on by Peachstate PCA this past weekend. The weather was perfect!

Also, I want to thank the folks at Goldcrest Motorsports for track support. Bob Sanderson, Steve Cosgrove and the team did a great job supporting the event and were busy the entire weekend assisting folks with an assortment of issues. Oh, and the lunches provided weren't too bad either!

Look forward to seeing everyone in April at the next PCA event at Road Atlanta!

Hey, Steve, thanks for ordering up the great weather. Any chance you can order up a dry weekend for the Club Race in March!?

Great last event of 2011! Thank you to all the Peachstate PCA members, corner workers (and fellow drivers) that made it such a great weekend.

April is tooooo far away.

Gives me time to get new brakes and suspension...they are both SHOT!

Still managed a 1:45.9 and moved up to group 3. 1:57.xx was my best at the last event...bringing it down a little bit at a time.

Video is uploading of one session. First use of Harry's LapTimer Pro, Dashware and GoPro together.

glad to see the times coming down and you moving up. always try and get someone to hop in the right seat whenever you get a chance even though your solo now. we can pick up some bad habits when riding by ourselves after a while

We miss ya'. See ya in the spring hopefully.

Getting more comfortable but i still have to work on a few more turns. Totally agree on getting seat time with other drivers. May even ask some instructors for a follow up now and again.

Congrats on the td last week.

What kind of times do you guys run?

I am thrilled with my 1:45. :-)

+1. I picked up some really bad habits in 3, despite being among the fastest in the group. When I got my check ride to move up, I got some GREAT pointers. I told my (Group 1, who I moved up) student this weekend to not be in a rush to get out of 2 for that very reason. Told him to stay in 2 for a while so he can get out of 3 quickly, and into 4.

Does anyone know if anyone was taking pictures? I know Henry wasn't there this time around, but I did see a couple of people with nice looking cameras around the track. Just don't know if they were taking shots for private use, or to try to sell.

Cannon, what are you using to take times? I haven't been able to get Track Master sorted out.

Gopro for video, Harrys laptimer pro app on the iPhone. Works great!

Look at my YouTube channel for two from this weekend with the data and video combined
