Great weekend and a fabulous event! Thanks Drew, Don, Terry, the workers, and SCCNH organizers for running the long course. I don't have any video from this weekend in the M3, but I will upload some of the Daewoo challenge runs. Although it was my gopro camera, I forgot to turn it on for my run. Grrrrrrr. But should have Steve's, Don's, and Terry's runs.

Looking forward to see those record MAKING runs... we managed a WORLD RECORD for a Daewoo on the long course at Ascutney.

Of course, looking forward to Ascutney II when you get to make a run with a full tank of gas so it doesn't cut out.

Still figuring out the GoPro thing. I like the camera (Hero3 Black) but I found it easier on the battery to dumb it down and just use the One Button mode. This video is from the the 1080 rez recording.

Walter - What field of view are you using? I've been looking at the GoPro models and thinking I might have to buy the Hero3 Black to get the narrow field of view option in hi-def. I really don't like the wide fields of view as they tend to make the sharp corners looks like slight bends in the road. I'm hoping the narrow field of view helps with this problem.

Lost my fastest run of the weekend. I remembered to turn it on. I just forgot to put the SD card back in the camera.

Rich (#55x) and I (#13x) learned a lot, didn't break anything, and had a great time. I haven't burned that much adrenaline since college. Just fantastic.

Rich/Dad doesn't do "forums" but he enjoyed himself so much that he's really annoyed that he'll miss Burke because he and Mom are babysitting their grand-kids that weekend. Mom has been put on notice not to schedule anything for a hill climb weekend ever again.


Thanks to Don, Drew, & the workers. Everything went perfectly, couldn't have been better.

Thanks Mike, John, Jamie, Chris, and all the rest of our "rookie-driver coaches". You all made it safer, faster, and more fun for both of us.

Thanks to Dave E's wife. Her hay-burner forced Dave to sell his old ride in order to build his new one. Thanks to Dave for keeping it in such good shape. Miata calipers don't normally come off of the slider-pins without a heavy dose of foul language.

Neither of us can wait until the next event.

My battery turned out to be bad for the fam run, and I had no time to get the other one before my first and only good run.
Of course the datalogging I like to do decided to have a fit on the run I have video of.
As luck would have it, I have video and data from nursing the car up the hill on Sunday at a pace slower than the daewoo on a bad day.
Oh well.

That is in narrow. I recently updated the firmware and things like narrow became an option.
