Okay --- #1 ---- The GoPro was upside-down so when I flipped the video it appears that I'm running the track in the wrong direction.....

#2 - Sorry for the squished bug guts.

But this will show you my line - not that it's worth anything.

Might scare Todd... so be forewarned buddy!

OK, no offense but you need to burn that video. Everything that was supposed to be a left was a right and vice versa. Too hard to watch for me. I thought I was bad with my GoPro. How to you manage to video upside down?

The gopro has an option to flip the filming video so you can mount the camera up side down..That sure is a nice looking track and your car sounds good Greg. I did like the OH SH*T moment over the riser.

Where'd ya shoot that from Dave??

PS -- Spent 90 minutes uploading a video to YouTube -- and when I got all done the azzwipes tell me they deleted it because it was too long!
It was the start/stop. I walked up some stairs off the side of that main building there and watched for awhile.

You have 2 options when you mount cam upside down (only way I've ever mounted mine).

1 -- If you are on the original firmware, you just have to edit the "rotation" in your video editer (I use MPEG Streamclip -- one of the recommended editors on their Support website page) and switch it to Flip.

2 -- Upgrade your firmware (also available at their Support webpage) and that allows you to select the upside down setting right on the camera. That upgrade also has the much needed One Touch feature. Now I find the GoPro is a lot easier to work with while you are geared up in your car.

Wow, impressive on two levels. One that track is amazing. and Two... you took down a big black ? Pantera or GT at 4:50. You were going so fast I couldn't tell. Loved your lines as you warmed up. Could tell you are getting pretty comfy with that yellow bee.

you know, maybe you should post this in the Button Willow smack talk. Might shut a few comments up. lol

Nice work and proud to see ya out on the track.

Thanks Brett!

I've learned not to go out on cold tires and be the busy bee... and first lap out is always on yellow. If you watch - I picked up the pace after the green dropped. If I could have posted the video in full -- I did pass the two cars that I was reeling in right there at the end. There's just something about chasing down a car ahead.... I don't know what it is - but I got it bad!

I'm letting the smack talk flow over there.... and keeping my mouth shut - thus keeping the expectations low.
