Talking My Track Day Video @ Thunderhill Raceway

With a lot of pressure from Joe (Quick Silver), I finally got around to loading my track day video from Thunderhill. I finally just watched the finally video after throwing it together late last night.

As you will see, it's not very good, and one of the clips I put in there do not really match my comments, particularly the 5th session video clip. Instead of going faster in the lap, I actually almost lost it in turn 14. But anyways, here is the clip on youtube. Hopefully you guys enjoy it and maybe more people can come out and make there own little track video.

Comments or criticism about the video or my driving are welcome.

See you guys at the track

Nice video and good recovery on the last run at turn 14. How fast were you going on the quarter mile before you hit turn 1?

^Toping out 4th gear like 118-120, I could shift into 5th, but that would definately not give me enough time to brake a down shift for turn 1. Maybe when I get faster I can do that (carry more speed out of turn 15).

Yea the cyclone wasn;t used. I never actually had the opportunity to go through there .

As for the tires I was using, I was on RS2's for the frist 2 sessions and SO2's for the rest. I did a review on them in the link below.
