Default Picked up my time machine today

Just got in from a road trip to Dallas to pick up my new track "beast" . Nothing like the thrill of a 30 year old Porsche with 200hp and no power steering, ABS etc. I am looking forward to advancing my driving skill with a more rudimentary machine.

I had a great day with Pat getting introduced to my new car and a new track... Can't wait to get back out there.

What recommendations do you guys have for video and data acquisition for an old school car like this? I have a RaceLogics Video VBox Pro in my GT3 RS where I can make use of the Can Bus data. I am guessing that I will have to add sensors to get data from this car.

That is a very fast car. If I remember correctly, P.H. was only about 1 second off the E class track record at Road America this year in that car.

Definitely one of those "can't use the car as an excuse" type of cars. If I were you, I wouldn't change or adjust a thing.

Jack,

You are correct, it was Pat's and he is fast in it. When I looked on MyLaps Pat was just a tick behind Jim Buckley at about a half a dozen tracks. Typically just a couple of tenths off the class record.
