1M Track Day - BroadCast Live

I'm attending a DE at Road Atlanta on Monday, June 4th with the 1M. Exactly 1 year ago I took the car to this same event but it was totally stock. With Motons, Epic tune, and sticky tires (RS3's on 18" ARC 8's) it should be interesting to compare traqmate data and overall lap times vs. last year.

I am playing around with a new app on my iPhone called UStream. I plan on streaming the audio/video live from the car so if anyone wants to watch you can tune in. I've been testing the app and it looks as though the link will be at:

http://www.ustream.tv/user/simplywirelessorg

(Sorry for the ads but this is a free membership for now)

The schedule for the group I'm in is listed below and the sessions are 30 minutes long. I will turn on UStream about 5 minutes before going on track to make sure it's working.

(EST)
9am
10:30am
1pm
2:30pm
4pm (open track to all groups - If I'm up for it I'll stay for this session)

Of course, this can change due to issues on track but Chin MotorSports is usually very good about staying on schedule.

I'll be running traqmate and recording video from my helmet as well so I'll post up a comparison after the event. Also, if anyone on here is in the area and can make it by, Chin charges $20 for passengers. If you want to do this PM me first.

Teh firewallers at work are total buzzkills.

Hard rain and 20-30 mph gusts. This should be an interesting day and a good rain test (on track) for the RS3's!

Bugger. Session 1 wasn't broadcast because UStream had signin issues. Got video though. Very slippery track but the RS3's seem very good compared to some similar tires. Next session will be live.

Here's the direct link to session 2.

The signal was a little weak on one end of the track so it's a bit glitchy. The rain has stopped so hopefully I can get in some fast laps. There were rivers coming across the track in the esses in the last session so I left MDM on.

Here's a few pics I just took.
