After the conditions at Saturdays event, perhaps someone will finally be willing to take this from me. This is the whole system and it worked fine when I took it out.

$90, come and get it.

You guys are so competitive. I'm just here to have fun.........

I have a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL80kS8z6qA

^ me back in my programming days...

But to me, between the FRS/BRZ people saying their cars can't be competitive at CDC Not remotely the case for our request, just a fun class to play in to compare against each other due to our numbers. Same idea as small bore. The usual candidates take the top time every week at CDC, and even with i...

This is probably all irrelevant as Mike was just looking to give the SCCA people an option at comparing among themselves and Ed was just trying to give the FRS/BRZ people a chance to compare among themselves.

sounds like a huge PITA.

Anybody thinking about going? Cause I am thinking about going.

Do you guys get nervous about doing track days that far from home without a tow rig?

I'm not STS legal but I'm definitely not prepared to DP. Which is why I don't go to SCCA events and pax doesn't work for me. You can leave mine blank or use DP I don't really care.

"so and so beat me in the index but not pax..."

woah dude. That kind of sucks... but kind of doesn't? :? I have one of the old gopros.. "Hero HD Naked." It works fine and it does 720p/60fps... I got it for $80 on ebay and compiled this camera mount, which was on my harness bar: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M35wX3T82E8/UY-4q7U60FI/...

I have a video of my fastest run. I deliberately mounted the camera impossibly low so no one could see the secrets to my success...

I recorded about half of my last session before the battery died.... http://youtu.be/UohlY33Mvuc Looks like I need to get my camera mounted higher as well.

Yeah, that's what I tell myself as well.

I heard they're actually going to propose an age limit for the spec class so they can compete among themselves and not worry about getting stomped.

Cool. I'm not sure who you are though... Looks like there will be a decent CDC group there!

Align with smallbore rules and do 'smallbore' and 'mediumbore'... than later you could add 'bigbore' for boost/bigger motors. Smallbore rules are wide open but nobody does anything beyond your ruleset except a little weight loss. ;) EDIT: I am posting in this thread becuase I would hope to trade dri...

Cool, I'll stop by. I'm in green group... The miata can fit some tools, wood blocks/ramps, and lunch but is then completely full. I want to do one of the NASA VIR events and camp. Maybe I'll look into getting/building a trailer like Jared.

lol. Ouch. AND he has a back seat

Going to be at Shenandoah with Trackdaze next weekend but only on Saturday (Harry Grove on Sunday).

Anybody that shows up is welcome to a point-by and the ever-present bucket of pretzels...

All minis, celicas, corvettes, 318tis, mr-somethings, fr-/br-somethings....

"caster is measured from a pair of camber measurements at two wheel turn positions. the formula is:

Caster (deg) = (180 / 3.1415) * [(camber1 - camber2) / (turnangle1 - turnangle2)]"
