Anyone have issues (or, hopefully, success) exporting the Race Keeper videos? They play on the computer off the USB, but when I try to export them according to the instructions from Race Keeper, it doesn't work. I've tried using both my new MacBook and my older Windows laptop.

Cheers,
Jason

You have to remember also that Ford performance is a tenant of Charlotte motor speedway, and has to work around the track’s schedule.
If other events / groups are booked, then a 1 day class might be all that a available at certain times of the year.

For example, I went for the 1 day Track Attack on Friday September 11, and the SCMC - SVT cobra mustang club - then had the track rented for Saturday and Sunday.
Was great having 3 days of open track in a row.

It might be as simple as because the GT350's are owned by Ford not the school. They don't have use of them for the second day - everything they offer the 1st day for owners as under contract from Ford, but the driving guests and 2nd day is all on them & their school equipment only (race prep'd GT's). So a lot of cars (350's & now also 500's) in the paddock are Ford's which means the school might not own enough cars to offer the same number driving a 2nd day. At least that was how it was last year/Utah and the rest my deduction. In Utah the 2nd day availability of fully race setup earlier model Boss302's (that they sold off before the move east) along with their Mustang GT's made up for not having the GT350s usable on day 1 of 2.

Picture is one of my favorites I shot end of day 2.

Gotcha, makes sense.

The weekend of Nov 12th is not the last one for 2020. I’m booked for Nov 16-17

Oh nice is the 16th-17th the last one then?

Thought I heard the lady mention the 12th but she must have meant last one available for the season.

Great question. I don’t know for sure, I can’t recall since I booked so long ago.

I was having the same issue. I had to download Parallels on my MacBook to run Windows 10 (used their 14 day free trial, no CC needed). Then I went to Race Keeper and downloaded Race-Keeper Comparo HD. Once I had that installed I was finally able to export the videos.

Nice, you had a 19 or 20. Did you do a two day, or did you get a 19/20 by chance?

I think it was a '19. Chassis number was PP0010 (Pre Production?). I only did the one day class. If you do the 2 day you drive race prepped GTs not 350s.

Indeed the weather was perfect. I had a blast. Everyone that buys these cars new should do everything they can attend one of these events. FPRS does an amazing job and knocks the entire experience out of the park.

Here’s another look at your car. I was there 2 weeks ago and had a blast.

Exactly why I took it (and others like it) on Day 2...which is why its all the race prep'd GT's (they had put away the Bosses by then). Cheers!

Likewise when it was in Utah in previous years (@UMC). Day one was us on the east track - day 2 the west while superbikes were on the east track.
