Re: March 1-2 El Toro Videos & Photos

And, yes, the DL1 software is just atrocious in terms of useability. It's a shame, they got all the difficult technical aspects *nailed* and put it all behind a user interface that's like running through wet concrete to use. When I saw a whole new Version 8 come out, I was certain they were going to...

Re: Radio Procedures

The problem is that without writing them down like we used to, it's much too easy to forget a number that just went by in a flash, especially if you are watching the cones and chasing after one that was hit, or even monitoring your workers who are running after the cones. One thing that would help i...

Re: March 1-2 El Toro Videos & Photos

Out of curiosity, would it work better with the face shield up on a kart, or is the water blinding? -- Karters are constantly pelted by rocks - the number of whacks the helmet-mounted GoPro takes is significant. -- The tires throw off giant rooster tails of water which would be like running a lawn ...
