"On car" video of runs 3 and 4. Batteries died on the damn camera just before the first run. Sorry for the extra BS, didn't get a chance to trim the fat on the vids. BTW, does anyone have a good method for converting .moc files to something Windows Movie Maker can deal with?

Run 3

Run 4

I will post up the results link and any more pictures of interest as they become available.

Once I get some of my pics/videos sorted, I will post some of 'em up

What was your best pass (raw time) if you don't mind me askin?

I ran like a 77.4 in timed runs and got it down to a 74.8xx in the fun runs

Hey I'm on that list. 3rd in street tire class! Nice runs. I definitely need an onboard camera.

79.567 was my best raw time of the day. Still learning how it's done.

One of the best things you can do, is a decent set of tires (that said not knowing what you are running now), and tire pressure is huge. My timed runs were a bit slower b/c of the car pushing in the turns. After a bump up in tire pressure the car handled ALOT better.

You guys going to Florence? I plan on being there (as well as the rest of the group I was at the black lake with)

Well, if you are interested, you can probably meet up with our group and ride up there with the group (At least one 370z, BMW M3, G35, Supra TT, and maybe a few more)
