RHill

welded on a bracket while the tank was half full with the cap off ... Sticky mount on the tank with a safety wire ran to one of the fuel cap screws. It is positioned just in front of my chin when in full tuck

Catch one of the control riders in the meeting, yesterday they called them all out by name....or mention something in tech. Sunday-Monday....perfect days at Mid-O

Grocery store parking lot in a car cruising at like 25mph....

Ewww... Front, only on one side(right), at Mid-O, Pirelli running 33 on the warmers, checked probably 4 times throughout the day. Never had anything like this with the Dunlops. Think there is a rebound issue because there is a slight buildup of tread on the leading edge of the siping and the trailing edge is clean. Hot tear? Geometry?

Timer is a bare bones unit, but functions well. It doesn't seem to store data, so each session you go out it overwrites the previous sessions times. I'm OK with that as long as I can get the GoPro to pick up the display and record the times each lap. The screen is very glossy, and the angle was causing it to glare really bad on camera, but I could see it very well on track. Kind of sad, with just a little bit of memory and a little more detailed programming, it would be a very capable lap timer for less than 1/3 the other GPS units.

Continuing off topic....Make that both the twilight and track day at Mid-O were amazing. Weather couldn't have been better, ran a ton of laps at PB pace, got to hang out and turn laps with some buds....really a great weekend.

Great pit bitch you made Ron....had to change my own wheels during a twilight. Show up late just to be around when the beer starts flowing... Twilight was amazing...pirellis seem to be some pretty good tires as well

Lets go biznatches...PIRC tomorrow, Mid-O Monday.

all depends if they are full or not....I've walked up morning of previously

"Sorry that this laptimer can not be connected to the computer so you nly can read the data on the time screen. No software need to install, you can directly use it. Pls try to use it and you will find how wonderful it is." Oh well, if it is a functioning laptimer I'll be happy

Timer and battery came in.....Hardware seems decent, but there is a small air bubble around the screen edge. Probably not the highest quality LCD screen, but it functions well. Battery (from a separate seller) was puffed when it arrived, but is seeming to hold a charge. Took it to the grocery store parking lot to do some laps and test it out. Worked well; did laps at varying pace and the timer reflected the pace. It would count the lap at a very predictable location each time. The lap display showed the previous lap time in big numbers for about 10-15s. Tried to download the data from the unit using the USB.....however, it never connects. It will take a charge, but not connect as hardware. I was running on the assumption that you can connect and pull the GPS data from the unit to see the results.....mainly cause of the image below. If I can't offload the data, that sucks; but if it works as an accurate and reliable GPS timer, I'll be happy. Next track day I'll be running the GPS & XT side by side with the GoPro recording the laps to test the precision & accuracy. My feeling after the parking lot test.....anyone want to buy an XT timer?

No reason to miss it...borrow a bike

Wish I could, but someone convinced me to run WERA @ PIRC here in a couple weeks...need to save some money.

Hit me with the price for a set...XL blue.

hmmmmmmmm NCBike or PIRCMiniBike.....

That overlay is pretty neat, always love finding videos that show track map/location when trying to approach a new track. So the Sony software did the whole overlay? Ever try dashware or anything similar? Hopefully I'll be trying to figure this crap out after the next track day.

Brandon and Ron were talking about it. Heres the plan, go do PIRC on the 20th, then come to Mid-O for the 21st twilight and 22nd.

Might be interested in the Starlane, hopefully the one I ordered will arrive before then and I can see how it works at Mid-O.

Not worth it for a day, but for 2 it would be manageable by splitting driving.....and if Brandon scores some N2 track days, gas wouldn't even be that bad. Hell, what time did we actually go to sleep after the drive from Atlanta to VIR? Don't forget, it will be 2 tracks, North and Full on 2 days

Phone is an uninsured company phone, so riding with it is not an option. I bought Harry's just to try play around with position data; wasn't impressed with the stock GPS of my phone, but have heard external units make it MUCH better. Coming from China, it will probably be a couple weeks till I receive mine, but I'll keep the thread updated with the results.

Just made sure I was signed up for 7/18-19 and 8/29-30. Really considering extending the 8/29-30 by heading to VIR for 31st north then 1st full course.

The North track is fun.... But look at that yummy new asphalt. N2 Full track is approaching...

Some BS came up at work and I'm not going to be able to make it Planning on the 21st and 22nd as of now though

That's true, and the plan.....even though we are starting at 10 in the morning. Still, sucks compared to riding and drinking after.
