Working on the Race #3 video right now. Since I went to three cameras, the editing is taking me a little bit longer. Should be ready in a couple of days...
Optional request - can you flip your rear view so that it is like what you would see if you were looking in a mirror? To my brain it seems easier to tell what is happening.

Steve, good comment, especially since I superimpose the rear cam where the rear view mirror would normally be located.
Chuck, I have the data, I just need to learn to use the software to do the overlays.
Let me see what I can do!

Here is the start of today's race at the PCA Festival of Speed at AutoClub Speedway!
I qualified mid-pack in 7th of 13 Spec Boxster's. I got a great start and passed several cars thru Turns 1 and 2. A few laps later, a few drivers up front went off course and I was able to get by and move up to 2nd, then got passed by one car and held off a challenge to finish 3rd. Overall, a very strong race for me. Two more races tomorrow!

Sorry that I haven't posted much in the past two weeks but as soon as I got back from Festival of Speed, I came down with a serious case of the flu and spent about 10 days in bed. Damn, that was one mean virus.
Here is a short video of the start of the 3rd race at Buttonwillow with a lot of first lap action! I got a good start and passed a few cars. Enjoy!
(I'll reverse the rear camera on the next video).

Very cool. You can also say, nice recovery from that slide where the wheels were visible. I thought I knew all the 17" Boxster wheels but those look different - I am going to embarrassed if they turn out to be the regular Carrera twist wheels...
You should not be embarrassed only Tom should be. They are Sport Edition Cup 4 wheels from tire rack. They have a 52mm offset, I sent them to a machine shop to machine the offset to 48mm-50mm to comply to the rules.
Here is the first video from the PCA Festival of Speed!
I got a good start and pass a lot of cars since the field was so strung out that I was going full tilt to catch up. I was running 5th when most of the leaders went off and was able to catch up and pass a couple more to finish 3rd.
Watch fullscreen in HD with sound!

I'm assuming you mean they were 45 mm offset and they removed 5 mm from the mounting pad, making them 50mm offset? If they were 52, they would have to add 2 mm.
