Here's my TT vid, I can't get the vid's to sync up but I have my data overall next to chads on my PC and there are some obvious places to gain time by using all the track at turn in, maybe a bit slower on entry and earlier on the gas.

T1,2,3 - I should be carrying a lot more speed and loose 0.8s.
T4/5 - I make up about 0.2s with a different line, but there should have been more time by getting up on the curb out of 4.
T7 I setup about 2ft in from the track edge (this is common for me as I like the buffer in case the car shifts under braking but I have to learn not to do it) and turn in a little early with less speed.
T8 again not right on the edge of the track but I make up 0.3s very different line, then loose 1/2 of it back by T10 with about a 0.5mph lower exit speed.
T10 and 11 I should have been going back to 3rd, Chad gains a lot by accelerating between the corners.
T11 different lines but very similar times.
T12 again not right on the edge of the track on turn in and not using enough brake given the uphill, need to slow it down a bit more on entry to get on the gas more.

Here's the 2nd to last session on Day 1, with the checker in the middle of the session. These were over a dozen hot laps trying (and mostly failing) to hang with Pete and Mick. This is probably the single most fun session I've ever had, ever. Unfortunately, like the other AIM videos, I don't have throttle/brake. Although I have an OBDII car, the ECU is too old to keep up with the data capture.

0:00 - Troy
1:00 - Pete
1:20 - Mick
4:45 - Chad with his new ride-on grass mower
7:00 - 2012 Driver Champ
12:35 - #47 Miata communicating with smoke signals
14:00 - Pete decides to ruin Mick's lap to let me catch up; thanks, Pete!
16:40 - Chad, again, this time with NOS up the back straight

Great vid, Nick.
Thanks for sharing.

Did that red Miata lift for you at 7:00?

It's too hard to tell with those things...

This is my TT video. I tend to be conservative during TTs, and this one was no different - the throttle and brake bars will show where time was left. It was nice to be back on a track where you can stretch out a bit.

The 20-disc SuperTrapp that I added to the resonator and muffler already on the car slowed the car a bit in the fast sections, but it was better than being black-flagged out of there like I was at a BMW event right after Mosport last year.

The speed shown is low by ~3 MPH, and the wheel is off ~10° to the right.

Nice video of my car.
Thanks -

I gave RaceRender a try. It's pretty decent, though I've got some issues with the data from my logger. It doesn't display any laptime for the first lap.

Try going into the Configure settings on your data file. Hit the [Manually Set Start/Finish Point] and adjust the tolerance on the heading, or X or Y to see if you can fix that.

RACOON, good times! What do you run for tires?

thanks!

I surprised myself with my old high school car this weekend.

I will post a video as soon as I can get it converted to put on youtube!
