Draco-REX Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I need a new battery for my GoPro. I got the entire parade session, forgot to record the drowned session, and only got half of the damp session. I was unable to get any of the dry sessions. I also got turned on to an Android App called Race Chrono. I'm not sure if it'll work on every phone because it apparently samples the GPS at 10Hz. But you can create your own sectors and it will give you color coded sector times, lap times, and even put together your ideal lap time. Also you can review your laps and get data from any point on the course. Pretty cool Unfortunately, I didn't ahve an opportunity to set it up. So yeah, I got nothing to show for the trip. I really want to go again. I just have to resist the urge to prep the car for it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sorry that I just saw this! I never checked the tread again after Friday. I would have made time for you yesterday. Sorry man. Well we kind of had that with the three of us. It was you, Draco and myself over in that corner. It was good times for sure. It felt a little disorganized in the beginning but I believe that rain was a major contributor to that. Did anyone happen to get pictures from the S2000 that wadded it up on the back strait? And does anyone know who had the 06 or 07 WRX TR with a Brembo swap done? ^^ This guy's a fantastic instructor. Thanks again for your advice. The final session I was able to keep in touch with a FR-S that was much better prepped than my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said hi to Draco but never knew you guys were also CR members...feel like an ASS now sorry...we were the yellow 911 and silver RX-7 (smokey) parked right near you guys too so we really did have a bit of a CR corral over there.

Pretty cool I've had good luck with Trackmaster, if your phone doesn't have 10Hz GPS (like mine) you can get a bluetooth module for something like $40. Unfortunately I forgot to load the Mid-Ohio sectors onto my Android device, and I don't have a working Android phone, so I was SOL as well.

Dammit, I had no idea that was Draco (or you) either, and I also feel like an ass now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I know these videos can be pretty boring without any antics or hijinks, but here's my last four laps of the day. I think my last time out I was generally running in the 1:51-1:52 range on crappier tires, so I'm pretty happy with the improvement on the Toyos despite having a passenger. No traffic at that point except for some kid driving way too fast (for a Miata) that I had to show up Still going through everything while trying to look like I'm working... Very well driven here BTW. All the proper elements for driving MO well displayed in this video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 LOL.. Next time something there's an event like this, everyone that's going needs to post a picture of the car they're bringing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 LOL.. Next time something there's an event like this, everyone that's going needs to post a picture of the car they're bringing. It's in my signature. It just looks a lot crappier in person. Hahahahaha. Ill try to chop up some video and post it when possible. Not sure if I want to show the interaction with the CTS-V as it was borderline inappropriate on all accounts. I seemed to also catch some melee all around where I was running with one of the Auto Interests guys in a Civic that went a little hot and went all 4 off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 ^^ This guy's a fantastic instructor. Thanks again for your advice. The final session I was able to keep in touch with a FR-S that was much better prepped than my car. Thanks, I’m blushing ! It’s a BLAST to instruct when you’re at the level your at, as all I was doing was fine tuning when we were out there. And when you nail corner, it’s such a great feeling. Also regardless of who you run with next time make sure you sign up for the intermediate group. That is where you need to be. I said hi to Draco but never knew you guys were also CR members...feel like an ASS now sorry...we were the yellow 911 and silver RX-7 (smokey) parked right near you guys too so we really did have a bit of a CR corral over there. No shit, I was in the Blue STi that passed you on the freeway going home. That rain SUCKED! Visibility dropped to like 35 feet. But next time we need to post a picture as Draco said or something. Its too damn funny we’re all within 20 yards of each other and didn’t know it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweiser1 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks again to all CR members that came to the event yesterday! I was co-organizing the event with Jason from AutoInterests however I was mostly on the marketing side. We learned a lot from this event and have some work to do with organizing events at Mid Ohio. There were a few reasons why the morning felt disorganized and we are going to correct those for the next event. I won't go into details but I felt it as well and talked to others who felt the same way. I ran with the intermediate group and had issues with drivers not pointing by. I'm not sure if any of the other groups had this problem but i feel we could have done a better job correcting this. That being said, I had an absolute blast! If you ran in the intermediate group i was the blue mustang gt that was being being lapped every session in the morning I have worn NT01's and in the monsoon felt like i was driving on ice. However after lunch I had a ton of fun! I use harry's lap timer for iOS for lap times and managed a 1:54 lap and a few 1:55's. Compared to my morning sessions of 3:00+ minutes per lap :fuckyeah: I have a lot of video from the intermediate sessions and will post them once i get time to go through them all.

greg1647545532 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I wanted to get a picture of that S2000 but I figured that'd be pretty rude. That thing was smashed. I ran with the intermediate group and had issues with drivers not pointing by. I'm not sure if any of the other groups had this problem but i feel we could have done a better job correcting this. Advanced was fine, but speaking of intermediate.... I don't know if anyone knows who that guy was but that was a frustrating couple of laps, even from the passenger seat.

I couldn't believe how many people were taking pictures of that poor guys car. It's an unwritten rule you can look but photos are a no no, posting photos of someone's wreck without permission is the ultimate wrong.

downingracing Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looks like a great time! I saw the video of the spins in turn 10. This is a video from last October (my civic - lap 1 Saturday race): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an unwritten rule you can look but photos are a no no, posting photos of someone's wreck without permission is the ultimate wrong. AGREED. You can even call your buddy and while on the phone say you're standing in front of a S2000 that someone beefed (although I still don't recommend), but there is nothing worse than going up and taking cell phone pics to post on fakebook.

Smokey Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 for the most part people in the advanced group were good on pointing. Had a couple of miatas that were slow to do so, but I also give them a bit of slack because they do have a lot of cars that catch them down the straights and then park in the corners. This gentleman in the CTS-V I've been at track days before with and he doesn't really like to point by, and really likes to show how fast his car is down the straight...which it is. I don't think my car is a slouch but I get straight walked down the back straight by this guy. DISCLAIMER: do not drive in this manner at a HPDE, I only put some pressure on this guy because I swear he must enjoy it as it's the only way he'll let me past.

dsm_sleeper Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I was along the fence too. I could see Andy, Aaron, and Chris from where I parked. I used Trackmaster with my GS3 laying in cup holder. It seemed to work fine for lap times. I wish I could have hear or seen my times as they were happening though. I didn't have a problem getting a point by from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwheel Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I was an ass and took a ninja photo of the s2000 from distance. I can post but after further reading I believe I'd be "that guy". Edited June 12, 2013 by Jwheel Had no idea I was being an ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
