CoTA 2014

Not sure what forum to post this in.

Went to CoTA with MVP this past weekend. Very awesome track. I will post more (better) pictures once I get them from my iPad. I will also post video once I figure out how to upload it to YouTube?!

I bet that was a blast! You must've found the problem with your brakes?

[slowhatch]

You lucky bastid!! More pics!

[Ohiotj]

Oh yea. Well we only have 6 inches of snow and four more months till our cars come out. How about that. By the way I drove threw Texas this last weekend and got stuck on I 30 for four hours with black ice.
How does it feel driving up the front stretch with that incline?

[MtnBiker]

Yeah, we are lucky down here in Houston, we get to drive all year.

I will post a link to in car cam soon, and a few amateur vids my daughter took of me going up the front straight. The hill going into turn 1 was awesome, could wait on braking until just after the 150 yard mark. I stayed track right as the hill got steeper from track left to track right and so I could get more brake assist from the hill. I watched the expert guys and that's what they were doing.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Are the videos up yet, er, just wondering are the videos up yet. No problem just waiting for the videos ..................geez it is snowing here, can't you help the rest of us at the North Pole get
some relief from cabin fever? Are they up yet?????

[MtnBiker]

LOL Bill.

I am incompetent when it comes to videos. So, I am having a friend help me rotate the GoPro from being upside down to right side up, and then upload all the vids to YouTube so I can post them here. I do not know how to embed a video (stored on my laptop) into this post without going through a URL/YouTube?!?!? The GoPro video is 4GB!

Andy, did you get the report and vids I emailed you?

Brake problem, what brake problem? Errr, we don't talk about that!

Agreed, brakes are over-rated anyway, not nearly as fun as the go pedal

[FLATOUT]

Yes Sir I did, great info! Extremely awesome that you were in a position to run that track!

They might be upside down unless on iPad (just discovered that the home button has to be to the right when taking pictures or videos on the iPad).

Still waiting to get in car GoPro vids...

Really some amazing stuff out there! Who's 1:33 Viper was that?

[MtnBiker]

Is that the red/black one? His name is Frank Palazzo (?) I think. Nice guy. He just got it, he had a B/W Gen III before.

Blake owns the red/white F GT. He had a whoops in corner 8 and stuck it into the wall. Fortunately the gravel killed his speed, just bust a driver's side window and scraped the paint. He estimates about $4K of damage.

[Bill Pemberton]

Wow, Mtnbiker, it is cold and lonely up here, but most of us in the Midwest don't get cabin fever so bad we have to embed a video. Frankly that is way too kinky for me and please stop --TMI for the rest
of us!!!!

Frankly if you hadn't been embedding them it might have been up by now.............er.............sorry that doesn't sound right. It was a cold and windy night, with ....

[MtnBiker]

Duuude. You make me laugh.

Did you like the video? My 13 year old said I was going too fast up the front straight and she couldn't keep the car centered on the screen. Too funny. She took more video of her feet and the ground than my car (I couldn't use half the video she took!).

[Bill Pemberton]

Best part is you took your 13 year old with you. Some of the best times in my entire life were at the track with my son. She did just fine ---- and she was right, you are just too damn fast!

[MtnBiker]

Agreed on the time spent with the daughter at the track. I love having her share in that. Thank you.
