4 really fun laps
 
The video is pretty boring but I was having an absolute blast. This is Motorsport Ranch in Cresson Texas, just south of Ft. Worth. I would consider it my home track as I've ran it more than any other track, probably by double. In the video I am running the 3.1 configuration, which is my favorite. I am still on the stock Bridgestone’s so there was a lot of squealing and sliding.

Ha. Nothing boring about that vid. Felt like I was in the car. Great driving. What app were you using?

What is that thing on the front windshield? External GPS?

Thanks! I am using Harrys Lap Timer and that is a external Tom Tom GPS iPhone mount that I have wired into my iPhone 4s. I've had the mount since I had an iPhone 3 and I find it works a lot better than just using the internal GPS on the iPhone. I just ordered an iPhone 5 and I doubt it will work with the Tom Tom because of the lightning connector so hopefully the internal GPS will be good enough.

^+1 Solid job behind the wheel.

I'm doing my first track event next Saturday, couldn't be more excited.
Will probably download that app

That track looks like fun wish it wasn't so far away would love to drive it.

We are really lucky to have 7 tracks within 3 hour drive from Dallas and another 3 more within 5 hours. I think this combined with being able to test all year is bringing a lot of pro teams to the area.

MSR - Motosport Ranch - Ft. Worth
TMS - Texas Motor Speedway - Ft. Worth
ECR - Eagles Canyon Raceway - Ft. Worth
TWS - Texas World Speedway - College Station
Harris Hill - Austin
COTA - Austin
Driveway - Austin

msr-houston is a fun track too. i just did my first track day on it last the past weekend

MSR-H is one of the three that are over 3 hours but less than 5 hours from Dallas.
I'm not a big fan of MSR-H as it has no elevation change and every time I go it rains (10 miles from Gulf). I don't mind a little rain sometimes but it sucks to drive 5 hours and then get a lot of rain.

I highly recommend you make a event at TWS in College Station. It is only 90 miles from Houston and there are events there all the time.
