Re: Keep Or Sell? 3RS/Spyder vs Cup
Pete, I didn't mean to imply that the Spyder was for the wify to track. I simply meant for her to have it as a daily driver. It's a chick car! LOL

Re: Keep Or Sell? 3RS/Spyder vs Cup
Let's see... Cup v. Spyder, or 3 RS (3.8), or 2 RS, or 3 RS (4.0)?
My answer? None of the above. If you're not going to race (and I can't for the life of me figure out why the hell not!), and...

Buttonwillow Video
http://www.youtube.com/user/LarsGT3#p/a/u/0/XMmNax5_ZVM
A few of us spent the three day Memorial Day weekend at the PCA/GGR event at Buttonwillow. It was a humbling weekend for me. I hadn't been...

Sears Point Video
Finally got out to Sears Point with Gisele. I hadn't been in years, so I thought it would be wise to have an expert show me the finer points of driving a Porsche on such a challenging (and scary!)...

Re: Sabine Schmitz website and videos
Did anyone else notice, in the opening scene in the kitchen, she's still wearing her race suit? Now that's my kind of woman. Too bad she's already married!

Re: Close Call at South Bend
After watching this one repeatedly, my guess is that he was too focused on the car in front of him and not driving his own line. There didn't seem to be any other explanation as for why he drove it...

Re: Close Call at South Bend
Bman, I noticed you shuffle steering in your vid. I strongly urge you to avoid that habit. There is simply no need for you to ever move your hands from the 10/2 o'clock position on the wheel on a...

Re: You Are a Track Nut, if...
Now THAT's a MANCATION! I'm very envious. Earlier in the year, I was trying to plot out a cross country road trip with the very idea of what you've got there.

Re: Coaching...?
Peter, thanks for sharing your experience with Traqmate. I'm certainly no fan boy! But, I've not had any of the problems you describe. Mine is only 5 months old, so I'll keep my eyes open. TC Design...

Re: Data Logger Group Buy, Interested?
For the money, HLTP is awesome! No where near as complete/capable as the Traqmates of the world, but hey! And, the best thing is the video. Instant sync to the data. The camera lens isn't wide angle,...

Re: Coaching...?
Peter, I'm curious as to why you continue to bash Traqmate. As you know, I've got it installed in Gisele. It's certainly got lots of short comings, but... I invested a lot of time and money and I'm...

Re: You Are a Track Nut, if...
You're able to get race tires to last half a season?!?!! I'm lucky if I can get a 3 day weekend out of a set of Hoosiers!
But, I'm with you on showing no love to the daily driver. She doesn't get...

I was always taught, and in turn taught my students, that the best way to apply the brakes (in a straight braking zone) was to squeeze them at first in order to get the car to squat for best...

Re: In Car Communication
You certainly don't need to hardwire. I can't really see any advantage. I've got mine attached to my helmet. The hard part is getting your speaker and mike in the best and most comfortable spot...

Re: DE, Why Bother?
Racing has been my dream for about 10 years (can't believe it's been that long ago that I got a race license and never used it). However, it is prohibitively expensive for me. I have zero support as...

Re: What Maintenance Do *You* Usually Do?
While I voted a strong medium, I actually haven't ever changed my own oil. Kinda funny, considering all the work on the interior I've done (Traqmate hardwire, Valentine One hardwire, etc.). I guess...
