Oh yeah, I wanted to mention... When I got to the site at 5 PM or so, there was a big sweeper/vacuum truck just finishing thoroughly cleaning up the entire double pad. The asphalt is cleaner than I've ever seen it. Should be great traction on Saturday. We'll need it! Edited by Patrick |

It's a beautiful morning! Looks like I'll finally get an opportunity to wear the gaudy straw hat at an autocross that I bought a couple months ago.

That was a HOT day. Wow. It was fun, but man... I feel dehydrated. Taking care of that right now. Sorry you couldn't make it, Brian. You would've enjoyed the three G-circles.

Alrighty, here are the links to 3 videos. Please excuse the repetitive nature of the runs... some choppy sound also...

I was returning to the starting grid after another masterful run, and what did I discover... but Gary adding some kind of magical "Gypsy Juice" to his tires. Caught in the act!
Probably something that brother Al told him to do. Those Johanson's are a shifty lot. Edited by Patrick |

It was indeed hot today. I need more anti-dehydration
juice.
Gary, you drove AWESOMELY today! Keep kicking ass out there. Nice weight loss too - and that helps as well. 
Maybe in the off-season you can work on your cameras. 
Some neat views, but the wind noise is a problem. Mind you, sometimes it sounds like you have a turbo so that was kinda cool.
I wish my system was portable from car to car. Just a note about wind noise, in my case the mic is on the floor behind the center console and it still picks up wind noise. Probably more a function of driving over 100+mph with both windows down though. I need to deal with it at some point. One lap of ORP |

Al, I hear what you are saying re the audio. I wish it was easier to get a
good sound. Yours is pretty choppy also... perhaps if it was installed in the engine bay somewhere....even in a box with a little hole in it.

If you get an separate camera, you can put your phone somewhere safe and use its audio. I considered doing that, but I've found a location that seems to work okay.

Not my best time, but entertaining nevertheless. Viewable in 3D or 2D... and notice the quality audio. Edited by Patrick |

I like that perspective, and the audio is pretty good, but I'm curious what windows/sunroof you have open? When I've shot video from that location with the side windows down, it sounds like hurricane city. Edited by Patrick |

It's suction cupped to the almost the back of the tilted-open sunroof. Both side windows are open.

Hmmm... I'll have to try it from there. When I've had the camera suction-cupped to the back window looking forward, I liked what I saw but not what I heard. Edited by Patrick |

It's funny how wind noise gets everywhere. The company I bought my data logger from sells a "dead kitten" mic cover. Apparently no dead kittens were used to make it. lol! (sigh....trying to get a pic to show but it won't) "http://tinyurl.com/lhav8b8" If you guys try a remote mic, be sure to save some fur from your kitties and make your own mic cover.
