1st Track Day

[BillGsa]

OK so it wasn't on the GSA, still my 1st tack day
4 20 minute sessions in upper 80 degree temps is exhausting, even though they were spread out from 9AM till 4PM.
Here's a video from my dashcam unfortunately somehow the audio was turned off...pissed me off

Watch the video Kurt

Weird... I didn't see the intro this morning or the pic when I took a quick peek before I had to leave, but now I see it. The video I saw this morning, started with a dashboard view & no sound. I figured it was your SS but wasn't sure.

Coincidentally, I saw 2 of SS' going down to Austin this morning! Or should I say, 2 SS's passed me going down to Austin. Pretty neat car you got there Bill.

Any idea what your average speeds were during your runs? Any pucker moments?

Just 2 uh-oh's, the back end started coming around but I had just spent some time on the skid track so it didn't really phase me. Another time I turned into a left too soon & was running out of track, my instructor said nice job glad you didn't panic. No idea on average speed, I had a GPS app open on my phone which was in the glove box. Top speed was 126, at the end of the straight is a tight right hander knowing that it's was pretty hard not to brake early.

EDIT: well I'm dumb the GPS app has averages... distance 19.87 miles 54 mph average that's the session in the video. In an earlier session there was more traffic that one was 27.47 miles with an average of 43mph
