GoPro lost/stolen today at April 19 event

Post by James Yom »

My codriver can't find his gopro camera and mount that he used today. It was on a blue Corzette z06. Either it got lost at the event, or somebody swiped it. Its a Hero3 silver edition. If found, please let me or Dave Howdyshell know. Thanks!

BTW, my spin at the finish wasn't my fault! My codriver can explain :)

I confiscated it. I wanted to see how you guys did those super fast runs. :D When I go with my wife to horse shows, you have to lock everything up because of theft. I hope we haven't come to that. Sorry for the loss.

We never seen you spin before James. I'm sure it's your co-drivers fault.

Thanks for the competition.

Happy to report, I found the camera under the moving blanket under a wheel in the back of my car :) That is why I was going to wait before making the thread, but thanks for looking out for me. My 7 youtube subcribers will be thrilled by this news.

Nice to see you this weekend, Steve. Hurry up and get the bridgestones mounted so we can really battle it out.

Regarding the spin, I may have forgotten to bleed off air in one of the rear tires after we inflated them, so it came back about 8 psi higher than the other. We already know what 1.5 psi difference does, so with 8 it's amazing that James was even able to make it out of grid safely.

Thanks for a great weekend, everyone!

I've never seen James spin, even with the tires at the proper pressure,temp., at the right time of day, with no oil on the track, without the sun in his eyes, and with the car set up perfectly...I'm surprised! :shock:
I've never seen him hit more than one cone on a single run either ;)

Glad you found the camera.

Tire pressure explains the 11 cones on the first run, but how about the 6 on his last run! ;)

6 cones in the last run you ask? That's when they discovered their air pressure gauge was reading 2 lbs different than everyone else's.

...because you already
