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: Summertime and Roasting in the Cockpit Heat. What's the solution?

Hey Trackrat!

Hard to tell from the lame description of the electronic system you link to, but I would have to assume that it's some sort of Peltier device. Here is a link to a Wiki description of...

Re: Thunderhilll Pics and Video. Mighty Fine Weekend!

I'm pretty sure that I'm the caboose in this train. :-((

This run group sure had some wicked fast drivers. And Trackrat was right up there at the top of the time sheets!

Always fun to hang...

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...

Re: Thunderhilll Pics and Video. Mighty Fine Weekend!

This event was run by Hooked on Driving. It was billed as "Summerfest". It could have more accurately been named "Porschefest" by Hooked on Porsches. LOL

There were a heck of a lot of P-cars out...

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...

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.

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: Track Vids- Thunderhill - GT3 Train

Shhh... don't tell anyone. I had to keep adding air to one tire and the air hose was down near the track entrance and I'm lazy. :ROFL!:

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: How To Brake?

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...

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...
