Thanks guys!!! Yeah I had to add the music because it was all wind noise. Next time I am using an external mic so should be much better. Plus I bought an OBD2 monitor for more gauges! Stay tuned!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

You mention the brakes are fading under hard braking... Are you running your cooling rings?

Have you been to Corvette Owners Driving school yet?

Looks to me like you need to use your brakes more to keep the car balanced better thru corners and allow the front to grip better. That is the part at Spring Mountain that helped me the most. You are definitely fast for a new track driver.

Nice video! PittRace is a nice track and lots of fun. Your line seems good throughout, except for the crest on the north track going onto the back straights. Work on your turn-in point and ride closer (or on) the curbing there, you don't want to go out wide there. Keep the videos coming tho!

Thanks! Yes I installed cooling rings, see vid below. I only noticed pedal pushback when slowing from 130 mph. I'll probably upgrade pads to street/track possibly Hawk HPS pads eventually. I did attend Spring mountain and try to remember to use trail braking for corners. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!

On day one, why do you have the radio on? On day two, your new gauge is way off compared to the factory speedometer.

Thanks! I am using Track Addict App running on old iPhone5s with OBD2 scanner for interior data video. Sony ActionCam mounted on windshield for forward view.

The radio was muted on day one because didn't realize had to hold down button to power off radio. Yeah the onscreen gauges are slightly delayed maybe because going through wifi connection or phone is too slow to keep up.
