Yeah, all wings slow down Vettes. That's why they put them on...

Great story Gae! Get that bad boy sorted and get back out there soon so you can kick some azz this summer...

OK Jerry, now I know which card Vince is talking about. We were adjusting bumpsteer at his shop with a bumpsteer gauge. I'll put that in my project update later. To lazy to run down to my truck right now.
The only thing you'll see on the Gopro card is my ugly mug taking photos of myself as I'm facing the GoPro and pushing the button on top thinking I'm in vid mode.

Thanks Ron!! Feels good to be back in the saddle .

Just checked the NCRC schedule. Next one in May is on a Friday and I cant make that one so looks like I'll have to wait a couple months until June. It's going to be a long two months.

Sounds like one hell of a good time. My go pro is a POS as well. They are supposed to default to video but mine doesn't. Anyway, how was the increased front suspension travel? Sounds like you were playing cat and mouse as expected. Finding that balance seems easy on a clean sheet of paper but it's not realistic. I can't wait to smoke your ass at Buttonwillow.

You sure you guys have uploaded the firmware update for it? Since I did 4 or 5 months ago you have to be a moron to screw it up. Ooops.

Set the function to video and it's one touch to turn on/record... and one touch to turn it off. Never need to hit any other buttons.

I read the instructions when I bought it and it said it defaulted to the video setting. If I had to catch some email, youfag video, twitter jabronie, facebook moron video, excuse my stanky ass. I expected it to work as advertised. Get that Nascar engine built so I can knotch your ass on my belt.

Gae -- Glad you were ripping it up!


I hate the GoPro.... wanted to turn mine into a Go THROW... POS little camera has screwed me more times -- Dyno pulls missed -- good laps missed.

Got the Contour GPS and love it....

Good news. missing that last session screwed me pretty good. I really needed to see what my last shock adjustment would have done. We'll get into more detail when i see you.
