Spohn's First track Day

Mike · 09-26-2011, 02:44 PM

I think the issue isn't that the bleeder is loose, but that as the caliper gets really hot, it expands a little tiny bit and fluid seeps out around the threads.

Did anybody get any lap times?

SPOHN · 09-26-2011, 03:17 PM

Not that I know of. Mike did record one of my sessions so maybe later I'll see what I did. I really want to invest in a data logger for this prupose. I know now I'm going to buy a GoPro.

comparing data and videos are great learning tool

Only problem is that a lot of clubs will not allow data logging for beginners/novice students. (PCA, and NASA notably)

Also just signed up for a membership through Chin Motorsports. Now I'll have access to several tracks several times a year.

There are some decent datalogging apps for iPhone or Android if you already have one of those platforms. They're not really "professional"-level, but it gets the job done for reviewing your sessions to learn from mistakes. The important thing is just bringing together OBD-II data (RPMs, inferred gear), GPS data (track position, speed) and video. You can do the video separately on GoPro and then sync that with other data from the smartphone software later on a PC.

I'm defiantly going to have a GoPro for my next event.

Here's a vid from my second session. I just had reduce the tire pressure and it took some getting used to. I lifted a lot in this one but not so much on my last session. Not sure how to embed this one but here's the link.

Nice video. Combined with the track map for reference it's easier to see where the lines are. I'd love to try out a banked track some day, accelerating onto that must be a blast. I think Texas World Speedway is banked, I'll probably end up running there at some point.

cossie1600 · 09-26-2011, 09:54 PM

don't run it unless they go counterclosewise

daisuke149 · 09-26-2011, 10:19 PM

Chris check out from like 8:18 onwards.. its me, then Josh then you.

SPOHN · 09-27-2011, 06:43 AM
