First Track Day of the Season - Lime Rock

First event of the year, wasn't too bad considering I'm running 2 year old street tires lol. Before hitting traffic I was doing 1:05 consistently and I'm convinced I can break 1:04 just by fixing turn 1. Played around with different lines but still need more time to get it down right.

Good fun little vid, how long do your sessions last? for me its all over way to quick. most of my track days are 3x20 mins and half of that is at night

I also love how you've got that info super imposed on the vid, care to share how you do that? is that harry's lap timer? love that Jafster too
unless i fork out an extra 200 dingbats and then i can have an open morning with 3hrs on the track at will.. which is what I've been doing lately, it makes more sense.

Regular non-competiton events are generally 4x20 min sessions. I've also done advanced only days where you basically get as much track time as u want but they typically fall on weekdays and work schedule doesn't usually allow me to attend those as much as I'd like. If 1 dingbat = 1 usd that's a great price. Track days in the east cost are typically $300/day.

Yep using iPhone with Harry's Lap Timer. Love the app, the full version is worth the cost.

The 3.0si N52 engine has a small liquid to liquid oil cooler attached to the oil filter housing which seems to do the job pretty well. I've had mine on the track in 95-100 degree heat with no issues. It's going to get one of those workouts this Sunday.

Great driving! Your camera setup it perfect, too. Which OBD2 dongle are you using?
