    Default February VIR Videos

    Finally got the videos up on YouTube! Sorry about the audio. It's mostly wind noise. Also sorry for the lack of overlays with track position and overall speed. My attempts at data acquisition were similarly fruitless.

    But here's the videos! My top speed during the weekend on the back straight out of Oak Tree was 137 MPH. The CTS-V brakes and Carbotech pads really did their job well!

    3rd of 4 sessions on Sunday, February 26th.
    My fastest lap was during this session, a 2:33 for the full course run.


    4th of 4 sessions on Sunday, February 26th
    This session felt the best, even though none of the laps were the fastest.

    Very cool! Got my heart pumping on those high speed straight aways and I like seeing BMW's get passed (at least I think they were BMW's).

    Thanks for sharing.

    That DOES sound good. Mind describing your setup?

    Camera is a Kodak Zi8 with an AudioTechinica 3350 external mic clipped to the license plate.

    Looks like you had a real good time. You did seem to smooth it out a bit on your second video. Did you get a hot oil warning while running?
