I'll check your videos out when I get home.

Unfortunately my camera's batteries ended up being spent. I thought I brought replacements (I have to get into the habit of throwing the batteries out after each 4 runs since this little camera eats them alive) but it turns out I did not so I have no video to show.

Well that sucks. I find video to be a very good tool in evaluating your runs, not only during competition to find opportunities, but also afterwards to pick up some of your personal tendencies so that you can try to change them in the future. Now if I can just get my wife to get me a MaxQGPS data logger I'll be set.

Anyone going to be at Fed Ex this Sunday for the A.I. event?

hugeevilrobot · 05-09-2008, 02:52 PM

I'll be there bright and early.

piknockout · 05-09-2008, 03:06 PM

Sweet...let's pray it doesn't rain.

Tony where were you I missed you this weekend

As you can see I had fun...I decided to get tires, alignment and FSB for the S2K...

piknockout · 05-12-2008, 08:28 AM

Englishtown?

We had a blast at Fed Ex this weekend. The morning groups got hosed with the wet and rain, but it was all dry (save one neverending wet spot) for the afternoon heats. And Sam Strano and Lee Piccione always create some nice courses.

I'm sorry I missed it too! I am battling a bad sinus infection. It affected my ears causing my equilibrium to be off at times, and I felt I would be a safety hazard because of that. But the antibiotic and decongestants are working.

How was the S2000 with the updates? You obviously did your Top Gear impression!

***Highrev1*** · 05-12-2008, 12:23 PM

LOL...NO I am ordering those things by the next event

piknockout · 05-12-2008, 12:24 PM

BTW hugevilrobot (DJ), here's the video of my afternoon run. We were lucky enough to run in the dry, but perhaps it will give you a better idea of the line and what it looks like to not run "cone to cone".

Yeah, I really like Josh's vidoes. They show me all the things I should have done...

But yeah they were helpful. Next event I am going to try and run two cameras inside and out so they are easier to compare apples to apples.

piknockout · 05-12-2008, 12:45 PM

Thanks Conger, just doing what I can. Of course as a watch that video, there were a few sections where I was a little late and cost myself time. Also at the start I probably could have held on to first longer. I decided to short shift though since the 1-2 shift was pushing me wide making the right in the slalom. In hindsight, I could have managed that a bit and probably gained time. Oh well, lessons learned.

**Gonzo** · 05-12-2008, 12:50 PM

Yeah, I haven't checked out then newest video but probably won't understand it as was well as a course I've run. The video from the "2nd" event really helped.

Here's a local TV segment on autocrossing, filmed at Giants Stadium. There's a black Si shown several times throughout. Anybody here?
