Area that gave me the most problems was right at station #4 after the long right sweeper and followed by 3 offset gates and station no #3 (sand pile) I believe I would be able to carry more speed through there after practicing more. |

During Registration there is a choice to rent a "transponder" its $35.00 more.. we attach it to your car and that records your lap times at start finish. see pic attached ( look at the tow hook ) that was me and a friend at Summit point last year ..

On a sad note and nothing to do with auto-x, I was changing my pads only to discover busted boots and seals in my front calipers. pictures are up in this thread. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=441050 I guess no HPDE for me till this is fixed and looking at the price that it will cost me around $500 so no events for me till May at least... |

Grats on best time sans r comps. Sad to see your brakes in bad shape, but I can't say I don't agree with your concerns for the safety of your kid. Better to sort out the issue before you're in a situation where you need your brakes to work 100%. Hope you get everything fixed up before the next CCA event

Alex, we were talking about the gopro camera being able to record throttle position, brake force, speed, rpms, ect... at the event. Do you have any more info on that product? I can't find anything about it, although I may be using the wrong keywords to search.
Thanks

bought a Traqmate Complete a few months ago, but have only used it for 2 race weekends. I actually haven't spent a lot of time trying to use the data to improve lap times yet. I didn't go with the video option due to cost. Instead, I bought a GoPro HD and use that with an older camcorder as a rear facing cam. I use a program called Race Render to overlay the rear cam and the Traqmate data onto the GoPro video. Making DVD's or playing on a TV through a laptop is easily achieved. That said, I think if you want a learning tool, you will want to use the TraqStudio SW on a laptop. The data overlays make your video's more interesting for showing friends, but don't show the detail needed for lap comparison. You can import GoPro video into Traqstudio - you will have to manually synchronize the video and data stream. That will give you the detailed data along with the video. Overall comments on my system: 1. It's a pain to start the Go Pro and camcorder manually from the driver's seat. Supposedly, Traqmate is working to be able to sync with GoPro cams. Once configured, the Traqmate self starts which is nice. The in car display is quite useful on track for most recent lap time and lap counter. It's a bit tedious to sync up the 2 video sources with the data stream manually. If you want the least hassle, go with the Traqmate video option - but you do pay a few hundred dollars extra for it. I wanted a system that would do data acq and HD video, and overlay a rear facing cam all in real time, but determined that systems that can do that cost way more than I would spend. Enough rambling, but if you really want to look for improving your driving, you will want to do lap comparisons in the Traqmate software. Adding in video (Traqmate or other) to the software will further help see where you were, if traffic was a factor, etc. Probably the best way to find improvements is to compare your data with other drivers' data. Hope this helps, Neil I GOT THAT FROM ONE OF MY RACING MAGS???? DONT KNOW IF IT HELPS..

I'll be saving my money to buy more track time before getting a high profile GoPro. More track time can teach u alot more than looking at your video after trackday
