Chuckwalla Valley Raceway February 18th and 19th

Kind of wish I had a timer (or maybe I don't ;D). Grant, no problem...enjoyed talking with you.

Everyone that stayed for the second day dropped their lap times and the rest of you would have done the same. John that is cool, what are you using for that?

The in car timer is a starlane GPS 3x. The computer software is free from starlane and its called DigiRace MMX.
Apparently you can synch videos as well - we'll try that with Mikes videos as my gopro decided not to play.

Here's another plot comparing mikes 2:02 session (yellow) to my 2:10 session (red) - I may be up all night

Hey Paul - here's your fastest lap you recorded

One more capture from the starlane on chuckwalla and I'll stop spamming

Laptimes with splits from one of my runs.

John that looks pretty cool. Looks like you can find the fast lap (and split) to see the fastest line through every corner. Where did you find that unit?

No doubt about that. Second day on a new track will almost always be faster than the first. Next year we'll have a little better idea of where we're going and should be able to get a lot faster yet.

OK cliff's notes--great weekend, great people, I will post more later after work.

Finally got around to figuring out how to view my laps in Harry's Lap Timer. My last session on Tuesday, I cranked out a couple 2:06 flats and a couple high 2:05s. Here is the video from my fastest lap! I will post up a bunch more videos featuring some great runs with (Moto)Viper, CaptDistraction, and our buddy w/ the FR500S "sometime later" this week.

This video only took about 3 mins to compile with Harry's Lap Timer app on my iPhone, awesome time saver. Normally I'm editing video for an hour in Sony Vegas and overlaying data from Trackmaster just to get a few laps output!

Edit: I dunno why the embed isn't working but the link should work.

I use Racerender 2 to overlay the Hero Gopro video with the Harry's Laptimer info. I really like the lap overlay that starlane did above and will look at that. I will post my videos to youtube when I process them after work.
This was a great event and I enjoyed talking with all the knowledgebase that you all have, both driving skills and technical.

It was cool watching you Chris and Ron out there tearing it up yesterday. Your cars sound phenonemal. It gave me something fun to do while we were waiting for them to put the cars back together

Yeah I am interested to see Ron and Chris' videos, as well as my own...haven't even started to download the stuff from my Flip cameras.

Your car is going to be even louder than Chris' on-track now that you have LTs! Looking forward to some on-track clips of that.

cool pics. Man I I still upset I couldnt make it out. Next time I am there.

 

[fuhrius]

would love to hear more about prep on the cars and what we might be able to take away / learn from what they've done. sounds like the cars might not have been as 'race-prepped' as one could have hoped for...but anything interesting about suspension / brake setups? and what kind of safety gear was in the car?

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

It sounded like those guys may be coming on here to learn more about what we are doing to track prep our cars so they can improve their school cars.

Here are some of the (mostly selfish) pictures I took this weekend:
