I know the date in the video is wrong. Not changing it.

I drove by on 35W on the way to UNT for a marching band competition and saw you guys running...glad to hear the event went well!

Thanks to NTAXS for another great event!

Here's my best run from the day, plus a bit extra. I enjoyed swapping cars a bit today!

BTW, question for those of you who wear lineless bifocal glasses... Do you have problems with depth perception while autocrossing?

I started wearing glasses almost all the time about 3 years ago, but usually didn't wear them while driving. However, earlier this year I went to lineless bifocals, and wear them all the time. I think I've just done 3 or 4 events while wearing them, but I've noticed that I actually get a bit disoriented at times if my glasses aren't perfectly positioned on my face inside my helmet. It happened a lot yesterday.

Fun day! I couldn't quite seem to get the hang of the course, but it's always a blast. Had fun trying out the announcer thing!

Not my fastest run. All isn't perfect with the cheap camera. It seems to be a crapshoot if it'll turn on or not when using the remote. Still not bad for the price, though.
