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.
He did keep bringing that to my attention. At a couple points you can see him pointing. If you could hear the Chatterbox he was yelling for me to be looking over there. I'll be working on that next time, too.

Thanks, man. There's a reason I didn't post the first two sessions. I need to check my times. Thanks for the reminder!

2:02.0 How fast did you get to on Big Bend? I find 22 seconds hard to believe... That's a LOT of time.

Nevermind -- That's the day 2 column. I didn't drive day 2. There's only 11 laps on the left and they're only marginally slower despite the amount of improvement. I'm going to have to look at the video and time a lap or two.

Definitely great seeing a couple old faces and meeting a handful of you.
Kevin, Mark, Oleg, Max, Orlando, Aaron, Allison - Not sure I know your screen names here, but it was great seeing so many S2k's out there. Sorry if I missed anybody.

I took four videos that have been uploading to U-tube *forever*. I`ll share links once they're finished.

Thanks again for the help diagnosing my brake light Oleg - last session on Sunday went smooth with no signs of trouble from that pesky light.

I`m not so sure about that timing tag - I got 2.5x more data on Sunday than Saturday. Anybody else have that experience? My best recorded time was a 157.8 (ish)

I`m not sure how to do it in Windows - but YouTube has a feature where you can edit the start and stop times (great for getting rid of the minutes between turning on the camera and starting the run) and rotate videos.

On big bend, I was topping out third gear just as big bend ended/the straight began. By the end of the straight/start of the loop, I was around 7k rpm in fourth ~95mph

Sorry, that's what I meant. The end of the back straight. I bested the same -- 95 or so MPH.

I wish I had seen this while I was still out there. Your line through the corkscrew is *much* better than mine.

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?
Thanks! I am going to NJMP only on Sat. I think my clutch has 1 track day left.

Not sure. I never look at the speedometer / tach. Judging from my shift beeper and being on 5th gear, I'd guess ~110mph.


Here's a video of the last session on day 2. Still have a lot to learn. I need to be more patient on big bend and the hammer. I am too early.

(the audio gets out of sync half way through the video)
