Road Atlanta 3/11
 
I don't know if its in this session, but my best lap time was a 1:41.

this one gets good 10 minutes into it with the Miller Lite NASCAR blowing his engine and coating me in oil.

Sweet ! Very nice driving ... nice and smooth.

Here is a short one. This is a crazy fast in acceleration honda. He gave me two point bys, but wouldn't lift. First time I attempted to pass him, he nearly ran me off the track going into turn 5, then he gave me a pointby out of 7, but I couldn't get by until he started braking in 10a. What a jerk. By the end of the session, 15 minutes later, I was about to pass him again. Fast in the straights and slow in the corners!

WTF. That was close.

Yeesh. Let him know about it in the download? That's one nice thing about NASA (and one annoying thing at times : )

BigT 03-12-2012 12:15 PM

That is awesome! Nice driving lines.

No, I didn't hang out after my last session, and of course, I had to gas up right after that (and every) session and didn't see where he went.

Looks great Mike. You are defiantly smooth. Shows me where I need to be. I'm currently trying to load my vid now. Not the greatest footage. Being my GoPro was mounted inside my car behind me there is a lot of white light coming in where you can't really see the track. Wasn't sunny out but somewhat bright. Not sure if the glare off the winshield caused this or not. Might not be doing that again.

I had a rough start but got better more so after lunch. I got passed on solo but after watching my vids and Sharif riding me and giving pointers I really need to learn to down shift later before corner entry.

Mike, that was awesome to watch! I gotta get back on the track soon!

Do you have it set to spot metering? That should solve that problem 90% of the time.

Not sure what that is. I'll look at it today. It has worked fine for me the other times but it was mounted on the windshield inside the car.

If you do spot metering and the very center of the camera isn't hitting the windshield, it will still **** up the lighting. So that's another thing to be aware of.
