Monticello Track Info

Here is a GPS track log overlaid on Google Earth. Google Earth still shows the old airport, which is why this might be of interest.

Awesome event! I will be back if COMSCC goes back.

Hey Bert.Thanks for posting that overlap. Now I understand why I was off the track surface so often. My GPS auto-steering controller must have been using the old map.. .

Very interesting!!

That is slick Bert. You're always good bringing the tech. I loved that track. So much to learn, it can't be digested in one event. I hope we go back there again.

Here is an in-car video with data overlay of my 2:40.7 time trial lap.

I had a great time. This was my first track day with COM and first time at Monticello. Both the track and club made this the best time I've ever had sitting down in my life! I appreciate the encouraging words from my instructor and the president (sorry I forgot your name) who came to me at the end of the day after my late day spin. My friend also had an instructor/driver come up to him out of the blue and tell him he was doing great. Thanks again for a well run event!

Very nice video, thanks!

The BBQ was great - I'm bringing a doggy bag with me next time. Thanks for a great event, had a blast - can't wait to see you all again!

Well done,Bruce! You make it look oh so easy. Interesting line through the corkscrew..I shall have to try that next time. You video has a strange "Monty Python" effect every now and then...

[Mark Swinehart]

Wow - I was told Chris Dyson held the track record of 1:48 in a his LMP car. Bruce, you beat him by 13 seconds!!!!

With a one minute head start maybe.

It was the sky, Mark. I kept waiting for the foot to come down!

Well done Bruce!

i noticed the video jumped around a bit - are you using a high speed SD card?

Ok, Ok, it was 2:35! and only 130 mph top speed. My lamborghini student claimed 170 mph top speed but the the speedo did not indicate that.

Go Pro Wide camera was fine. It seems this new stupid Adobe Premier video editor I bought does the jerkies and the audio and video are not synched. And then YouTube reduces the video quality.
