Since you BiL posted his ,which was apparently FTD, everyone else logged off with their tails between their legs. ;)
brg ftd, sixace 12.9 (i think), me 1:30.6
My best in the driest session on Friday was 1:47.792 sec. My best on Sat was 1:41.655 sec., a slight improvement over last years best.
I think that the most impressive feat was Aquaman's, rootdown_53, marathon on Friday....120 laps in the rain with, I think, only two offs. I only was out for 28 laps. I did learn a lot in my laps, in retrospect, I should have been chasing Aquaman the whole day.
The great weather yesterday made up for the rain on Friday. It was a great two days.
Most improved goes to me.
Most fun goes to me.
Best looking blue car with white stripe goes to me.
I also got the Stig as my instructor.

You missed a lot of gay jokes and inappropriate touching.
You left one out. :)Quote:

Had a fantastic time and the car ran great. Thanks to Gary and William for the job you did on my car. My best time was 139.2. I must say the Dunlop Star Specs had some stick on Saturday. No tire had much stick on Friday and the track looked like a 24 hour race with all the lights and wipers.

My car was strong and predictable and I left some time on the track. Very good times!
But I'm with Doug... Aquaman was my Friday hero - he definitely got his effing money's worth!
Fixed. That was a sweet car. He dominated in that car at his first SCCA event. Chris would've likely taken FTD if he didn't have metal glitter in his oil.Quote:

So I posted a 1:40 flat on Friday; that's right, FTD baby! This was short lived Saturday, as every forced induction warm-up lap was faster than that. Still, in my stock engine '99, I got a 1:34.9 on Saturday. Bummer was that i had to keep coming off the track for other groups to run. Friday was awesome, tons of good experience in changing conditions; it forced me to try new lines each time the weather changed. My car had 2 offs Friday, one at my hands and one at jeffman's...that grass was too tall anyway. fun weekend, fun track, and brg left with a tampon (unused, i think).

Anyone else have footage up of the event...would like to like to see some group 4 shots if anyone has any.
Here's my best lap video. Not liking this new movie maker.
No oil well fire video?Quote:

Great Video, Michael. After watching that, I went over to "2 guys and a canoe" in your channel and had a good laugh. You running H2R this weekend with John and Trey?
Oil well fire? Not sure what you mean.
Thanks Sixace. I have some good footage of your car I'll post in next day or so.
Boisking thanks for the compliment. I wish I could make Harris Hill but can't afford it at this time.
When jeff says oil well fire he means the massive flamethrower that he had coming out of his tail pipe.
The +5ft flame coming off my car went ever i lift or brake.

Sorry jeff_man but I don't think I have any footage of you. I didn't shoot much and didn't run the last session Saturday due to caliper issues similar to NC_Eunos'. Here's my footage of group 4, session 2 on Saturday.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make/post it! Good memories. Interesting angles, like to see the track falling away behind you. Different.Quote:

This WMM has no dedicated timeline so it becomes a cluster f::Censor:: with multiple camera clips but I'm getting it. Stupid editor has 50 something transitions and no fade to black.::Rant::
Session 3 is now up. Jeff_man, you have a brief appearance passing me as I pit but I saw no fire. Lots of footage of NC_Eunos and SixAce.
Great vid. That session was a lot of fun. The 2 red na's and the siver nb was some of the TJ crew from down south. They are a fast crowd and it puts into perspective just how fast you were moving along out there. You vid really shows the difference in track position when someone runs just 2 seconds a lap faster, then 4 sec, etc. Pretty eye opening and a nice perspective.
You improved alot from last year,( and know now that there's better places to pick up time than the bitch). Your off in 6 was the most common place I saw 4 offs happen on Saturday, so no shame there. For me, the best place to make up time is 1, 5-6 and 10. Which makes sense, cause they lead to the 3 straights/passing zones..
WMM is a pain. There is a fade to black hidden in there somewheres, but the crap is just plain hard to find. The older version timeline and features were much better IMO.
Thanks again. Seems like every track day I go to there's a bunch of cars running cams, but you never see anything posted. It can be time consuming with the editing hassles and then the uploading crap. But it's worth it for the memories.
Nice job. Thanks.
Lol at Me running 1:32.9 with brake failure...maybe next year I'll have better luck.
Awesome video, thanks for posting.
Fun times as usual!!!
Thanks! Glad ya'll liked it. I did finally find the Fade in effects of something. The more I use it the faster I'll get at it but I still want to get Premiere Pro.
WTH is safety mode? Couldn't watch one of your videos because "safety mode is on" - and I can't figure out how to turn it off. What's ON that video??? It's being sensored by YouTube...
Sorry. I called turn 9 "the bitch" in the description so it is being blocked probably. You need to turn of safe mode and will likely need to clear browser history. At Googles home page there is a preferences link and turn off safe browsing there as well. If it still doesn't work, then you are likely using Chrome. Google owns all three.
PS. Scroll to bottom of you tube page and click where you see safety mode to turn it off.
