I have a video of my run that had the fastest raw time, but I think I hit a cone: Here

Also, a few pictures were posted already. Here are a few of them:

I don't think my tires like the wet very much, they give no warning before they begin to slip, I found myself carrying too much speed through the corners, partly because of that. Then I also forgot to look ahead a bunch of times which led to mistakes, but overall I'm OK with how my driving was and how the day went, and as always it was plenty of fun.

Too tired to find and upload videos, been doing homework since I got back...
More videos tomorrow.
Here is the course map.

There were still a few icy puddles but they built around them, I still managed to get into one though
Still a really fun day, actually hit some cones this time I did better then last time I think, results are not yet posted but I was able to see my times after each run this time.

Colby, send me your email and I will forward the videos we took of your runs if you want.

Apparently they are having some technical difficulties with the results so those are still a couple days away

Perhaps the electronic timing equipment got a wee bit damp?

Yes, damp equipment... not this
This one and the second video posted above are of my dad, I am the one with the white helmet. But actually, only a wire got broken.

Here is another video of Colbys run

Wow, I had no idea how close I was getting to those cones! I'm pretty pleased with myself after seeing that. I can see though that I didn't go as far to the right as I could have entering the hairpin turn, which could have helped me to leave it quicker. I think the only reason that run was my quickest is because I actually slowed down a bit and got a bit closer to the cones in the end sweeper.

My guess is that when they had to reconnect everything their software got a bit confused and possibly they had to save what they had and start over as if it were run #1, so that would mean that they have all the data but need to do a bunch of manual work to make it presentable. I really have no idea how they handle it though, so I could be way off.

I like how everyone goes, "OoooooOooooooo..." when the timer gizmo gets assaulted.

So, what did that cost your dad? It seems to me I recall some of these events charge a flat rate of 150 bucks if you so much as touch anything at the track with your car (other than pavement and/or cones).

It's nice to see videos from outside the car to see just how tight your line is, as well as seeing your tire tracks in the wet when you come back through the slaloms to see how close you get to cones.

And they didn't charge my dad anything, they don't have a flat fee like the vcmc but nothing other then the plug at the end of the wire was damaged, the casing got tossed around but nothing important broke, they just needed to rerun the cables.

Hey Harrison, the 3800SC looks and sounds tough also both you and your dad are way better drivers than me
Just curious what helmet did you end up buying ?

I love how angry my engine sounds, so sweet.
I went to drivers edge and got the B2Z? helmet the next one up from the fiberglass one i think. My dad just used a loaner because they had bigger sizes then mine.

And Johnny Boy, you just need more practice, so come out next time

That's good to hear!

I found the following at the VCMC website...

Quote EQUIPMENT AND FACILITY DAMAGE: A flat fee of $150 is to be paid to the VCMC immediately upon contact with ANY equipment (excluding cones) or the facility. This includes, but is not limited to, the timing equipment and cables.

Johnny, don't you be getting too curious about other helmets. I've got your baby sitting right here!

Apparently I was getting very close to those cones and actually hit a few more than I realized.

Sweet, I did much better then last time.

Apparently plowing through the cones at the back of the hairpin box and going into the ice puddles not only doesn't result in a DNF, but they didn't even give me a cone.
