Watkins Glen- In the drivers seat video

Zxces50 · 10-03-2011, 06:07 PM

Nice view- mounted GoPro directly to front of helmet- good track feedback on tach/gear/speed/hands etc- next year will get a data logger and try some video overlay but for now this works- havin fun

Was getting into low 130's on back straight, 120ish on front straight, 90-100 thru S's,

Low tech analysis- wanted to understand speed based on tach & gear and also understand shift points and where rpm hits on up shift- all low tech I'm just playin around havin fun nothing to serious

this is my daily driver in summer - punishing 60-80 minute 20 mile comute so got the 7AT - no regrets- tracks very well- you can really appreciate the Z more with just one track day

nice work.

Was that your first time at the Glen? It looks like you had the death grip on the steering wheel, relax and everything will come to you.

My second time to Glen- the two video's are the last two sessions on Sunday- I was tense as we had driven all weekend in heavy rain- it was slick and I watched 8-10 cars get towed off after taking some tough hits to the blue armco- earlier I pointed by a 4 wheel drive and watched them spin coming out of the toe and eat the guard rail- so I had a lot of anxiety when we got to some reasonable semi-wet conditions at the end of the weekend- and yes I drove the Z to work Monday

oh yeah, understandable, been there and done that (not the armco, but drfiving in the rain)
