Thanks to my wife, Micky, for taking the 2nd heat shots. I hope everyone enjoyed the new site as much as I did. I can't wait to go back there in June.

 As always thanks for the Awesome pictures !

 Here is my 56.4 run : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IixHMJyQ76A

Its a shame Youtube compresses the video to the point that the cones are blurry and hard to see.

Chris, Youtube will take HD movies from the GoPro. Are you exporting your movies in the highest resolution before you upload them to Youtube?

Had a fantastic time today.  This venue is terrific.  Good work whoever scored it!

Thanks for this great image!!



The BMW with the SSR/FN01RC wheel combo was king!

 I did't but I just gave it a shot at maximum and got the same results, just took longer to load. looks like its time for a higher resolution camera.

Here's a link to my third, and fastest run: http://www.youtube.com/justinloehlein#p/u/2/zCD0JH_Tw2A

It also happened to be a 56.4.  Somehow, it was 0.003 seconds faster than Chris' run

 I watched our video's side by side and noticed I lost 0.004 seconds at the end because I braked too early.

I had a great time again, even though my car decided to only give me one one decent run. Thanks for the pictures, its the first thing I looked for when I got home. Also thanks to John for letting me ride along and see first hand how a Corvette should handle and feel. Looks like I'll be pulling my fuel pump out to see whats going on while you guys are enjoying the next one, but I'll be back.

 He're my video, around the 48 second mark is where the problem occurs, if you have any insight let me know. Gas tank is over 3/4 full, coming out of hard right turns I get no throttle response for a couple seconds, perfectly fine on the road and is not throwing any codes at the time.

 That sucks I can see you pushing the pedal like "what the hell !?" I think its a common c4 issue theres got to be a fix for it out there by now !

I think you will really like it. I have enjoyed mine. My only problem is that Dave uses my videos to critique my hand positions!
