It's good to see you having some fun !! LIke the head gear......

That looked like an easy course with the grass on both sides defining the
route. The hard ones are done on tarmac with all concrete and just a bunch of cones directing the way.....My first time out I missed the first gate so you did good.

I always enjoy watching your videos as you put your monster Tiger through its paces. What other cars were in your class?

It has been many, many years since I competed in an SCCA event...I drove a
260Z at the time. Back then we ran at the old Bridgehampton race circuit.

It has also been a long, long time since my days in Korea...Be safe during your upcoming assignment.

Nice video Duke.

The camera has the typical GoPro suction cap mount rattle sound.. i found if you put a small bit of self adhesive rubber or foam where the mount rests back on itself it stops the annoying chattering sound when it records.. buffers the vibration of the hard plastic on hard plastic.

also... nice helmet!

Hi Duke, throw out those first two cars and it's a pretty even field.

It looks like a lot of fun, the big drawback would be making a run and then

having to wait for 102 other cars to do their thing before you get another shot at it.

Those first two were carts.....they were amazing to watch. Fast as hell.

We were broken into three heats of ~35 cars. The wait was not too bad. To the dismay of the starter, I heated up my rear tires on two runs with a front line-lock burn out. You can catch some of the residual smoke on a couple of the videos. Not one other car had the capability or did the same.

Re: AutoX - Almost appears that the lower the camera mount, the quicker the times. Thanks for sharing.
