Here are three of my runs from today.

Thanks Russ, I really like the one on the front of your car.

Finally got some videos posted from the Sep event. These are from a GoPro that spent most of the day in the Blue S2K, but I switched it to Bills s2k for a run and Jesse's Mustang for a run. Since the Blue s2k had an engine bay mounted microphone, the audio is quite a bit different for those videos. The others just used the GoPro interal microphone, thus much lower volume.

Jesse's 4th run in the Mustang



Jesse's 2nd or 3rd run in the Blue S2000



Bill Hughson's 7th run in his Silver S2000



Wes's 1st run in the Blue S2000

i drove really poorly in both cars..... saw so many mistakes

Russ, I like the different perspectives, but like the right side view the best. Not sure why, but maybe because it's higher and you can see more of the course. You get pretty close to some of those cones!

Jesse, you were running a pretty squirely Mustang that you were expecting to handle different. I thought your Mustang run was smoother than the S2K run. You went wide in some places, but it was definently smoother.

because i was going much slower.... thanks for the videos though.

It was a unique coarse. I had trouble with... rythem? I was not satisfied with my performance either.

Wes, Nice Videos! Thanks to you and Jesse for the ride-a-longs and advice. Oddly enough, I remember everything you guys told me about driving and planning the course, but I couldn't memorize the course even after I walked it four times. Things sure look different at speed. I'll have to work on that, then try to smooth things out. If it was real easy it wouldn't be any fun.

it was a tough course this month. and the longest one this year, usually they are a little easier to see
