Thanks to Danny Popp for the pointers he gave me.

It seems dead on. I may have been off just a wee bit when syncing it up but at lower speeds when I can watch the two, its right on.

Kewl, Bill........Your "whoops" line looked OK to me.... Now we need to get your some real tires and get you to use the gearbox a bit more and you'll be "golden". Pleasure riding around with you, we'll work on it some more next time. Next lesson will be "corner exit black tracks". No more "soft pedal Bill". Thanks for sharing

I assume you are going to Putnam ???

Looking good there Bill! Wish I could make it out to Putnam in May, but I have other commitments. I was just out there two weeks ago for a PCA event.

Can you tell us a little more about the video system. how do you set it up to read your track position, rpm/speed? price?

It's not a real time overlay. Trackvision.net sells a post process software that works with about any data acquisition system. (G2X, DL1, AIM, Motec, etc...)

You export the data from your analysis software and then load it and the video into the Trackvision software.

Fairly good software, I have a copy as well and the videos I've posted were done with it.

Nice vid Bill. I really like your system.

I see they ran with no bus stop after turn 1. I'd like to try that configuration myself some day.

Those run-flats were squealing like a stuck pig. I'm running my new Nitto RII's at Putnam on the 18th with The Winning Formula. I'll let you know how they do, although I know you are condsidering Hoosier's, which is a great choice. That's what I ran before the Nitto's.

Exactly as Jlucas put it

G2X data system which then coverts and downloads a file that TrackVision then picks up.
The G2X system constructs the track map from the GPS info it picks up during the run.

You then "sync" the G2x Data to the video and TrackVision puts em together.

The G2X was $950.00 and TrackVision software was $125.00
Not the cheapest but what the hell is in this sport

My next one will be much better as I now have my Tach cable run to the engine.
Gives Tach, Present Gear, Shift points etc. on the display.

I was glad the bus stop was not in service. Makes for a nice run to turn two.

Hopefully when we run with CHIN this month, it will be the same way.

Hi Jeff,
Will be at Road Atlanta in Aug with NASA and hope to do VIR with CHIN this fall as well.
You are always welcome to jump in with me again. Your expertise was a huge help at Road Atlanta last time.

I disagree with you three, I always loved those two corners...plus most noobs will brake going into the bus stop which allows the rest of us to catch them easier.

Can't watch the video yet (blocked at work), but am intersted to see it!
