Sharing HPDE Pics from October at Motorsport Ranch
Thought I would share a few pictures fo the last HPDE I drove and instructed in at Mortorsport Ranch in Cresson, Texas on October 20-21, 2012.
I am the driver in the Stilo helmet, the guy in the passenger seat is a good friend that is trying to find an Interlagos Blue Z4 M Coupe also. I thought I would give him a few trips around the track. Great weekend at the track!

Cool!
Here's what DSC_OFF did to mount his Iphone. This, plus Harry's Lap Timer, yields a really great combo. Take a look at the first post in the thread--it shows what can be done with the HLT and Iphone combo. It would be awesome to have video of the new track @Austin. |

Thanks for the Austin comments and for the iphone mount help. Our chapter has really worked hard at geting this done. Everything should be finalized in the next few weeks. Then the fun starts, as the event chair I am about to be swamped.

Car looks great TexasZ4MC; it's been a while since I saw one with stock wheels on track
I use the TomTom Car Kit mount with HLT and it works great and has the added benefit of the external GPS receiver's accuracy. I have HLT set to record at 720p. Some of my videos are here: http://www.youtube.com/mistralvr6 |

DSCHULTZ, the front tires are not capable of handling a wide enough tire to get the majority of understeer out of the car. Per TC Kline the best for this car is 18.9.5 et35 fronts with 255/35/18 and 18x10 et22 rears and 275/35/18's

Ugh, I told myself I'd find a way to drive on Austin. I've been checking your chapter's site to see if there was any mention. Question is whose car do I drive down there? But I'd seriously make a trip out there just to get DE weekend in... I wonder if I can rent a car for the weekend but take out Lockton policy on a rental lol.
