Default Spring Mountain PDR Question

Just got back from my vacation that included Spring Mountain on 2/1 & 2/2 -WHAT A BLAST!
There are many reviews on here and all I can say is that my experience was as great as all of the others, the whole experience was awesome!
One question; I used the PDR and know that I can play the data back in the Corvette, but what is the easiest way to get it into my computer and the Cosworth Tool box?

I use a Macbook that has an SD slot, you just plug the SD card into the machine and you have access to all the files. While the Cosworth software requires a PC, I just run it inside of Parallels and it's perfect. Otherwise you just need an inexpensive SD to USB adaptor. Shouldn't be more than $10-20 bucks at your local electronics/computer store.

I have a regular lap top -so I guess it's off to Best Buy or Walmart for an adaptor.
Thanks!

Great. I had a great time at Spring Mountain in June. Be sure to post any awesome videos you have. I'm thinking about a return visit for the Level 2 this year.

Your laptop very likely has a slot for the memory card. It looks like an open slot about .25 inch high by 1 inch wide.

Got one and it worked perfect -thanks AlongfortheRide!
I downloaded everything into Cosworth and it is cool how it has every session available to watch and the all of the overall performance data for all of the sessions on one spread sheet, highlighting the best for each category.
My next computer incompetent question; How do I get the "show" formatted to email and/ or post on this site?
