Daytona 2017

[Tomster]

Here is a video I threw together quickly. Although this run doesn't even come close to my best laps, it reflects a lot of the frustration of the group I was in (group 3). It was supposed to be equal to group 2, but the sheer amount of people in my group slowed the pace in this video by about 9 seconds.

Keep in mind the first lap is warm up, then the idiots, then I had to pit.

When I get more time, I will put together some of the video with rear view shots and telemetry.

Video is coming up as "unavailable" when I click the link.

Watching all the stuff you're doing to your R and at the track makes me wish I lived on your coast instead! I always look forward to seeing your progress and posts.

great laps Tom, I think I know how I can get faster watching your video.

Great driving and video, Tom. Loved the audio quality. What setup are you running? Where did you place your mics?

Running 2 hero4 black in 4k on Roll bar and rear windshield. The Mic is an Olympus (don't remember the model number now), which is mounted in the trunk. I used to mount it on the rear licence plate, but the sound is just as good in the trunk.

Hmm. Yeah, like everyone has been saying on this forum recently. Such a slow 526 HP car...

But in all seriousness, what an opportunity. And people need to let you pass. That's just not safe/courteous. Nice runs.

You did a great job upgrading your car Tom and it looks to have paid off. Looked like you were having fun out there whenever you could.

I just noticed, do you have a HANS?

That's exactly the point. If they do not signal to pass, then you don't pass. Held captive by some arrogant idiot who did not belong in the run group.

The experience would have been so much nicer had my buddy's lift been available and the MGW shifter went in.

However, the caliperfexion studs made the post track day maintenance much easier!

You need to accept paypal or let me send you a check for the stud extensions.

SHR Flex by Schroth. Very nice. Mobility is excellent, hardly notice you have one on.
