Default New personal best at the track today
Ran a 29.3. GWiz's boyfriend holds the record on this track in my car with a 29.1 that he's repeated 3 times. Before today, my best was a 29.6.

This video is from some guests that came today and the passenger was the 19 year old nephew of one of the students. It was a 29.5, so not too far off.

Happy I could give him a good lap. Skip to the 1 minute mark.

GWiz was down to a 30.3, and she and I are racing my car next weekend in Charlotte, NC in a Pro Solo. I think she can win her class.

We’re at the HSR Mitty at Road Atlanta this weekend; watching old loud race cars go by….

GWiz with a GoPro perspective. Looks MUCH faster than mine, but that's just the camera angle. I believe this was a 31.3, so slower, but still very fast.

There's no penalty for not running over the cones?

What happens when you break (brake?) for lunch?

There is video editing software that can eliminate the 1:45 seconds of nothing. Just saying.

That was plot development, not superfluous sitting around doing nothing footage. Know the difference.

Today was exceptional! I ran a 56.4 and beat all of SS, even though I was running SSR, but I was 5th fastest, and the 2nd fastest fendered car today. 1-3 are karts and open wheel racers.

GWiz (while dirty...1 cone) was able to log a 56.5. She HAS THE SPEED to win next weekend in Charlotte. Will post videos later. Corded the left rear Hoosier, buying 2 more to take up with us. Fronts are fine, and this is only the practice set.

Just gonna throw this out there. Since I saw people on the track prior to the run, how about human cones. Now that would be exciting!!

Datawiz doesn't have computing power for such software...

GWiz vs. Datawiz

Note: This is her 2nd of 3 laps. Did not get vid of 3rd lap, which was the one that was only a 10th off of my time. In this vid, she screws up the line in the sweeper at the far end.

Found GWiz's 56.5 on the PDR. This is a neat video since you get the data overlays too.
