    Not sure about that. Was thinking about my cars. But we might bring the Lemon as well...

    It does predictive timing in the analysis software, and there's a live timing - in car option that uses an iphone or ipod touch (I don't have that piece (yet)).

    I totally dig it. It's the best go fast part I've put in the car since I started going to the track. I'm just running basic data through it, but it supports additional sensors (throttle/steering/brake) as well as odb2 and a few aftermarket ECU's. Out of the box gps is 10MHz, and it can run up to 4 cameras. Everything synchs automatically, so once you finish a session, you can pull the file, put it on the computer, and be viewing data+video with sound in under 5 minutes. The cameras themselves are not HD, but the export files from the analysis software are.

    +1 for the Racekeeper. Its the best one I've seen, but it definitely needs a lap-time display.

    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Sure, first time I drove ECR was the toy run 2 years ago. Easy track to learn. I think if you've never driven there they might put you in the noob group with lead/follow though.

    I wouldn't mind that for a session but not the entire day. Oh well it's still cheap for track time. I'm in the same boat as Jeff so I most likely won't be in the Miata.

    I was in group two last year and it worked out well. Lead follow (at a quicker pace than group one) in the first session, but then they turn you loose. It was a good way to learn the track and still get some open time. I expect to be buzzed by the fast cars as I piddle down the straights in group three this year.

    Maybe in the straights but you should be able to keep up with most cars in group 3 especially in the corners. Me and a few S2000's were blowing by almost everyone in group 4 last year. The nice thing is group 3/4 has less cars than groups 1/2 so you'll have more open track. Most the really fast kids like Ken O were running instructor group 5.

    I don't think there was a group 5 but there may be one this year due to volume. I was in 3 last year. You can make good straight speed if you exit the corners fast.

    Justin,
    It's the perfect track for your car. Just be sure your brake pads are up to snuff.

    The whole event is lead and follow (as there are so many cars you will be stuck behind someone slow most the time) unless your an instructor or a race car. The only clear track you will get is if your the first one on the grid. But you will find traffic fast.

    Every other year the groups are set up not by skill so there will be some noobs with the fast guys unless they set it up like a normal track day this time.

    years before it was
    1 is noobs and people who never been to ecr
    2/3 every one else
    4 instructors / racecars
