1st DE event!

If you don't already have one, get a Go-Pro. They're great for film study so you can see where you can improve. On the Cayman, they sit perfectly between the seats on the engine cover ledge. Gives you a great view of the inside and outside of your car.

I'm starting my 3rd season of DEs and I'm certainly not the fastest in my run group, but we just had our 1st 2014 DE and I knocked 3 seconds off the time I ran last fall.

My "record" lap was the last one in this vid.

Laguna Seca in June. In the words of Bart Scott, "Can't Wait!!!"

Very smooth driving in your CS. The yellow car had you at speed, but you took it back in the corners.

The first thing I did on Monday after the DE was to order a GoPro. I'll have it in the car when I drive Eagles Canyon in Texas week after next.

My goal is as much as possible, one DE a month and one autoX a month while I'm working towards my Spec Boxster goal. I plan to be at MotorSport Park at Hastings in July, since it's as close to Oklahoma as I can find. Will you be there?

I'm assuming you have a timer to the right of your rear view mirror? What brand/model?

Do you use a TrackVision set-up?

Thstone - I've noticed in some of your earlier videos you have a TrackVision, but I haven't seen it in your later videos. Pros/cons?

Thanks!

Thanks. That was his wife's 2014 Cayman S and that was the first time he'd driven it on the track. He was being careful about brake points so I was able to catch him. I also gave him room rather than hound him since that was a new car for him. Didn't want to add to the pressure by tailing him too close (he's very experienced but not in that car). He switched from Sport to Sport + half way thru the run and then he left me for dead on the straight after he did. He said the shift pt on Sport + is 9K rpm. I can't compete with that. Amazing how much technolgy has advanced in 6 yrs.

Chances are I won't be at MPH in July. Going to Parade will take a mighty big bite out of my funds so I might be eating a lot of noodles in July. I haven't run at MPH yet but the guys in the club like it and say it's a well run facility.

This last DE was the debut of my Traqmate. I found it in the classifieds on P-9. It's the middle model, so you have the display but it's not hooked into the Go-Pro or engine electronics. I haven't figured out how to download the data to my laptop - the instructions don't seem to work. That's on my To Do list this week.

Sounds like you have lots of fun lined up for this summer. You must have taken a big hit on that track pipe San Rensho mentioned.
