Monticello Track Info
Re: 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.

Re: Monticello Track Info
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.

Re: Monticello Track Info
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!

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...

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.Mark Swinehart wrote: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!!!!
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.
