I spent 3 days at PBOC doing laps at Sebring. Two of the days I did Super Solo, and in between those two days I worked in the instructed group with Dave Scott, VR here on RL. He was able to fine tune some of what I was doing, helping me establish a personal best time, (which is lap 3 in this video). I think most of my time I have gained by taking 1 faster, but he had some good pointers on a number of other turns also. Those of you that haven't taken advantage of what a good coach like VR has to offer should really do it. Even if you are an advanced driver already, it is such a valuable investment, IMO. That's my unpaid promo for VR's services! LOL BTW, he is really a great guy also. Very nice manner in terms of his teaching style.

Here are a lap or two taken this morning in the SS run group.

Good job Mark but that camera angle makes me want to barf!

Chris Hall uses this Racekeeper system and I bought it on his recommendation. He tried to fix that camera. Titan guys tried. This seems like such an easy thing to fix but not so. Maybe it is defective? I guess I need to call Racekeeper.

Mark, call Steve Hoelscher at Trivinci Systems (Race-Keeper), he'll get it straight.

those RK bullet camersas usually ahve a label on them, arrow showing their alignment. they sometimes arent accurate.
you could do a couple of quick tests and just adjust the rotation of the bullet camera till the picture is straight.
or, they hvae a SVideo cable that you can hook into an SVID port and then you can in real time see each camera and adjust. its a very versatile camera setup for sure. we distribute them and as well have them now in several cars. they take just a bit more to setup the cameras but once set up you can have up to 4 cameras in real time, and they work pretty good.

without buying the SVid cable accessory from RK, just do a few tests in your garage and tweak the angle of the camera. usually just rotate the camera the opposite degrees that its off in the video. once done, tighten her up, and you're good to go.

Mark, many thanks for the very kind words. It was a real pleasure to work with you again!! I was extremely happy with the progress you have made with your driving.

Following up on VR's pointers, I was able to set my fastest lap to date, mostly due to taking turn 1 more aggressively. I know I still have more speed to pick up through that turn, but I am trying to gradually add to the speed as I get more comfortable with the grip this car has through there. Although there was a lot of sitting around due to all the racing, the nice thing was that the DE was split up in two groups, and I was able to run in the group with the slower cars, so I was pretty much at the head of the pack most of the time. It was almost like having the track to myself.

Mark, I saw your car but did not see you. Maybe next time.

T1 looks different but once you get used to the different "visual"is not a big deal imho. First time though wow

Veloce Raptor

Well done, Mark!!!! As you and I discussed at the time, Juan is spot-on here...

Mark Dreyer

Juan, is your last name Santini? If so, congrats on your winning races (as well as the cool sounding name). You looked good out there. If that wasn't you, I rescind the congratulations. LOL

Juan Lopez

No need to rescind Mark; that would be me. Thanks much!!!

I reset the class record in the process; down an additional second from my best last year!
