Track Day Miller Motorsports Park Utah

This is video from my track day with the local Porsche Club at Miller Motorsports Park Utah, this is the East Course, technical, lots of different corners, some elevation changes. Very fun; this is my first real racetrack track day. I had an excellent instructor most of the day. This is a rather long video of my last session, solo. It is obvious I haven't yet perfected my lines but the last couple of laps look better. The car handles so well, I was familiarizing myself with the handling and gaining confidence, but that comes easy with this car. If you get a chance to run here I recommend it, a first class facility built in 2005, this east course is 2.5 miles, the west course is about 2 miles, and combined they are almost 4.5 miles. The West course has faster more flowing lines.

This is also my first event outing in the FRS and finally the first event of the northern season. First autocross is May 5. Next time out I will be ready to really push it.

The car is stock with Dunlop ZII's, TRD catback, Perrin intake tube and
drop-in filter.

WOW that track is BEAUTIFUL!

I just wiki'ed it:
Quote:
At almost 4.5 miles (7.2 km), it is the longest road racing facility in North America. It is about ½ mile (0.8 km) longer than the previous holder, Road America. The Outer course is one of the fastest road courses in North America, with AMA Superbikes posting average speeds over 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h).
So jealous.

Hey guys, quick question here on taking videos. I have a GoPro Hero 3 Black edition that I used for the first time but it turned out pretty choppy. I was filming in 1080 at 30 fps....after doing some research it seems that 60 fps would be better but just want to see what others are using? Im going to drop it down to 720 since i don't need that high of quality too. Thanks and I hope I can add a few more up here soon.

Track: Mosport Driver Development Track
Car: 2013 Scion FR-S
Mods: Carbotech XP10 front and XP8 rear brake pads, P&L stainless steel brake lines, ATE Super Blue brake fluid, Perrin Oil Cooler.
Notes: These are the last two laps from a HPDE with Hanson International Advanced Driving School. Temperature hovered around freezing all day and it snowed a bit. This was my third HPDE and that's all the experience I have. I'm not concerned about perfect lines or anything yet. I'm just trying to learn how to drive my car. This was my first day with the traction control fully off (LOVED IT).

ITA @ ORP May 2013

Track: Oregon Raceway Park
Car: Honda CRX in ITA trim
Mods: .040 over engine, Hoosier R6, Koni dbls, LSD, sexy driver
Notes/Comments: This was a double race weekend and my best time was in qual with a 1:59.7. That's .8 seconds off my track record there which was made when the track was brand new.

I get a great launch on the start but get stuck in the marbles on the outside and couldn't commit to the corner. Lose 2 positions that I have then fight for...
