Laguna Seca Track Day

Had a blast (as usual) at Laguna Seca today
Here's a mediocre compilation of some runs from today, recorded with a GoPro HD Hero, mounted to the front windshield. Recordings were done using the R3 resolution mode, which is 720p @ 60fps.
Next time I will try to get the GoPro mounted behind me (cockpit view) so that my inputs can be seen while driving.
Today's best was only a 1 minute 49. Personal best remains 1 minute 47 including lift-off for sound check.
I represented Zpost today by spanking every single one of the competition in my run group (even lapped some people lol)

Hints, tips, pointers, comments very much welcome

They finally uploaded. Let me know if links aren't working for you guys. I tested them and they seem to work fine for me thus far.

Yeah it's too bad the GoPro doesn't have a screen for quick playback, etc. can't really see how everything looks when recordin, until it's plugged in to a computer and the files are opened
Good thing I didn't have to pay for my GoPro lol. My buddy is letting me borrow without any return date

lol whaaat. I wasn't wrong in either case.

Case 1: I was right in that the majority of batches were made with larger bores, to accommodate more fitments

Case 2: I was specifically referring to the GoPro Hero, and not any of their other models

So...I'm 2 for 2

Hah the United State of California is a decent place to live
I'm lucky to have Laguna Seca be only an hour away from my home, so I go there quite frequently for track days; even though Laguna is quite a bit more pricey compared to other tracks in Cali.

Case 1: you didn't mention that in the beginning of your thread.
Case 2: I have the GoPro Hero as well, and that's the backing I use.
Case 3: reserved for Lonnie's next epic mistake!
