Any way... Good times... good times... I will never plan another long night after a track event though. I ended up staying away for 24.5-25 hours straight on 4 hours sleep the night before. I still feel like Hell.

I got Part 1 of session 3 uploaded. There are some mistakes. You'll see 'em. Session 4 was damn near flawless, but I screwed up the GoPro.

That is like super wide angle, is that a go pro 2? It seems much wider than my contour.

Nah, GoPro HD. It is wider than Contour. Contour is 135* and this is 170* FOV.

That's one of the first things I noticed reviewing the video. (And my shoulders.) No wonder I am so sore.

I really would appreciate any/all serious advice. Some of the line corrections were made in the 4th session. He was super impressed with the last one. Why couldn't I have recorded that??

Glad everybody had a good time. Unfortunately I was out of town visiting a friend that had returned stateside.

Aaron - I don't consider myself a track expert by any means. But watching your video you can see a clear difference in where your instructor is looking and where you're looking. He's way further ahead than you are. Take another look at your video and you'll see.

Nice driving Aaron! Your hand movements are nice & smooth. It was my first time at Shenandoah and needless to say I was all over the place. The RFID thing-of-a-bob got my fastest time at 1:40.5. Not sure how accurate it is. I'm uploading my videos now.

Turn in earlier and faster, try to set a arc instead of just easing into the turn. (see looking ahead above)

The idea is to make one turn movement per turn from there all you should be doing is opening up the wheel on exit.

Does anyone know how I could rotate a GoPro video? The camera was upside down, and windows movie maker doesn't recognize the file type. I'm not really interested in paying for editing software just to flip the video over.

Awesome times! My best was a 1:44.3. No one would ever know it was your first time there. I am contemplating coming up to the NJMP event with Track Daze if I can get the car cooling better before then. Do you think your going to it?

Same happened with mine. It was two clicks in iMovie. If you can't figure it out you can bring it by here? I don't have a Windows PC any more so no software advice.
