Darrel Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Josh, I'll see you on Thursday at the tech session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks for coming to the tech sessions guys. Josh, you just missed skwiggly. But you'll see each other at the track. 33 cars, 7 of those have extra drivers. So a total of 40 registered. With quite a few coming to register at the track, we are going to have a great day.

Squiden Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I saw the FR-86 and a couple 370Zs headed in as I was leaving - looked like a good bunch of cars for Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 The fr-86 is Brians. He won't be taking that, it's too new. He will bring his miata instead. Yes, there were a couple of 370's, one is a club member who just bought it to take it on the track. We had a 997 gt3 as well. Very familiar with the track. So yes, with at least 3, possibly 4 gt-r, a fact 5 cobra, and hopfully a clone gt40, it will be a great day. Others of note, Allan, the one with the viper that usually comes out with us, he will bring along a few of his friends. One or two lotus, cooper S, spec 944, maybe a couple more. And we can't forget the 240z and other z cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_Good Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 There's also open lapping days on the weekdays. I plan on going to one this coming friday but i'll be in the Miata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 The z club had a great day yesterday. 54 registered, of those 8 were extra drivers. Weather was great all day, no clouds and a nice breeze all day. It was very nice under the car ports. Except when I was letting cars out on the track. With four run groups, the most on the track at the same time was 15 in one of the groups. Intervals between cars weren't too close so you could close in on the car in front of you slowly and still have little to no traffic to contend with. Unfortunately, Squiden had some suspension trouble and made an early exit in his first session. Hopefully it isn't too serious and he will be back on the track soon. There are still two MCCA events left in the season. CECA/shelby club sept 22nd and usaudi club in October. Contact those clubs for more info.

skwiggly Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I had a blast, despite my Z deciding it didn't want to turn off and having to pull the ignition relay after each run! Highlights of the day were being passed by a R32 GT-R, and watching/hearing a SRT Viper, 997 GT3, and GT-R zoom by on the straightaway, what glorious noises...

Squiden Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not so good for me - I was the Boxster that snapped a control arm on lap 1 of the day Saul - a couple of us are talking about heading out on Friday, September 28th - let me know if you plan to be out then. Skig - as a note, Ross in the decked out Lotus used to be a SpecB owner on here - he's the one that got me into racing . And Calvin in the white 91 Vette is a co-worker - we've had a good competion going for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul_Good Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Vids from today at HPR. I used Harry's Laptimer for the Iphone/Ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thanks for sharing. CECA has the track on sept 22nd. Hopefully some can make it out with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for posting, Saul! I haven't tried integrating video with Harry's Lap Timer - I assume this was just via the camera on your phone? What sort of mount were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Quick video for Darrel of the end of my track day (which coincided with the end of lap 1) where the control arm snaps. Luckily found someone parting out a Boxster, so was able to buy the entire front corner from him for cheap... will hopefully arrive on Tuesday so I can get back out to the track on the 28th... I'm running out of good track days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Now I know I'm not the only one curious about what it looked like when it broke. ;-) Good thing it broke braking before the turn. Now we(I) need pics of the broken parts. ;-) I was out at the CECA event yesterday. There was a westy(7 clone) that decided to show it's inside bits outside before turn four. The guy was looking to build a new engine for it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 The 2013 dates for the MCCA clubs are still being worked out. We do have tentative dates, but still need firmed up. The USAudi club is out there this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiden Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Assuming the weather cooperates, I plan to go out on Friday (the 12th)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_Good Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm going to try and make it to high plains this Saturday 27 Oct for the afternoon session. Anyone else gonna go? I'll be in my Miata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finse Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I was out there on Sunday. Lady Luck smiled on us. When we arrived at 11:30, there was not a lot of people on the track, maybe a dozen cars? Another 10 or so showed up for the afternoon session. Long story short, it was empty. I'm out for this weekend, but we may be trying to go in another 2 or 3 weeks The southwestern portion of the track (danny's lesson) was closed for repairs. So it was a shorter track.

finse Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Another fun day! Chasing a BRZ and some other cars Your overlay setup is sweet. Did you record the video with your laptop or with another method? That lap was super fun to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_Good Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Your overlay setup is sweet. Did you record the video with your laptop or with another method? That lap was super fun to watch! I use Harry's Laptimer which is an app for the iphone/ipod touch. It uses the Iphone camera and you can do the overlay while sitting around in the pits. http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimumLGT Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hey guys, I'm working on a track render of High Plains Raceway and it'd be cool to have some videos in there to stretch it out. PM me if you can help. Here's what I've got so far. It's not exact yet so go easy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MSvTOCjLE8&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
