Couldn't wait to get this up on YouTube before I shared this with you guys.  One of my favorite videos - 

Right in front of garage 12.  Matte black semi with the large Riders Discount flags

Looking for AMA Pro Dunlop GPA DOT take offs and at Mid-Ohio this weekend for the AMA Pro Road Racing weekend? 

We have one front and two rears for $150 a set.  

If you're interested, stop by the Riders Discount semi and ask for Shawn.  Note: first come will have first selection on tire choice.

I think this sums up a large part of the problem that goes un-addressed quite often: 

 

 

The US (and Canada) is really large to have a single pro series.    I think AMA Pro's East & West division for the SuperSport class is really the largest any series can be at this point.  The travel costs just become too much for teams to run the full series right now.  DMG screwing things up with the 6 round 2014 schedule actually helped demonstrate that this year.  There are fewer truly professional teams on the grid, but the grids themselves are about the same number of bikes.

 

Jordan Motorsports and EBR moving to WSBK were moves made at least in part based on travel costs and the like.  I have seen this posted several times on the WERA board, but never here to the best of my recollection:

 

 

The AMA running at Laguna Seca and New Jersey Motorsports Park is just a huge ordeal for teams to make both rounds...

 

I don't think it would be unreasonable for there to be 3-4 U.S. regions, and then have a double-header (or even a triple-header) "Grand National" style finale somewhere in the Southern/Central portion of the U.S. (probably Barber or COTA) at the end of the season.

Or back to back weekends with Mid Ohio? Our crew have to rush to tear down and then be on the road back towards Ohio Sunday night or Monday morning at the absolute earliest.  

I found it pretty interesting to watch the speedo increase a few mph under hard braking especially at the end of the front straight.  

What is your PR laptime at Grattan? If you don't mind answering...

1:27 and change according to the ol lap timer.

Are your new RD duties keeping you off the bike?

Yea I'm traveling a bit more and it's just been an overall busy summer thus far.

First time riding the track this season.  It's been too long... But, I felt pretty good by the end of the day setting a new personal best.  

I'll be there...

hnngggg!

ELI5 please

I would agree that the Hero 2 will suffice.  The Hero 3 is a nice tight package with a few more features, but when I'm setting up cameras for on track footage of our race bikes, I use the same settings that I would with our old Hero 2 HD's.  

Here is a video with a mix of Hero 2 and Hero 3 cameras, try and figure out which one is which. 

I too am cable free. There are streams available to catch every sports game playing with no blackouts that are SD, plus watch espn for the good chance of having your game in HD

Currently working on getting my htpc completely automated for racing, movies, and tv.

Exactly.  These should do the trick. 

Well, it works.  Just need to clean up the wiring, add grills and a few other final touches. 

Also, I'm not usually one to make this mistake but excuse the vertical vid Tonik...

OK and when you say to connect the green wire to any black in that loom, do you mean the same 20 pin m-board loom it's in, or any black ground I'm using?

Can I use one power and ground wire per fan or do I need to combine them?

This is what I'm looking at - 

Sata and fan connectors - 

Am I only focusing on the wires from the m-board connector?  Can I cut and toss the SATA and CPU fan plugs?

Stick with the 180 for the Q3 and any other street performance tire for that matter.  You won't need to worry about 180 v 190 until you step up to the DOT/slick tires. 

Computer power supply would work wondrful. I have built 2 work radios out of them. One in an old ammo can. For $20 on ebay and some googling you can get a 450w power supply to run fans, test 12g and 5v. Very easy to do. Just make sure you connect all wires that are doubled to a pin and connect green to black as magley said.

You lost me here. What do you mean by test 12g and 5v?  Also, what gauge wire would be appropriate?  I believe the wire running off the fans are 14 gauge. 

I've built pc's before but have never dove into a PSU, normally just plug it into the slot on the m-board. 

Awesome. Really appreciate the help mags

Thanks for the tip on the power supply.  

What about the other option of using my spare lithium ion battery constantly plugged into its charger?
