April Autocross weekend PHOTO/VIDEO thread
Best run from Sunday: 72.019 s. My first weekend with my new datalogging setup. Worked fine on Saturday, but for some reason OBDII data wasn't recorded on sunday, so I don't have tach or throttle data. I think it also wasn't using the iPhone accelerometer and was using GPS-derived accelerations instead, which is why the G-meter looks so hosed. Technology! Bah!

Here's my fastest run in practice... I spent all day on Saturday practicing my shifting, and then did two runs at the end without shifting that were my fastest two. I guess I need to work on my shifting more....

I'll put together a highlight video of Tom and myself flailing about all the times the shifter knob fell off mid-run, but I'm too tired right now. Same goes for Sunday runs, I'll get around to them tomorrow.

Re: April Autocross weekend PHOTO/VIDEO thread
so i found this disturbing.... past by 3-4 course workers WITH red flags and non of them flagged me down. Tristan Littlehale was the course worker who flagged me down as he was experienced to know that I was too close to the car in front of me.

Re: April Autocross weekend PHOTO/VIDEO thread
Well, I forgot I didn't have the right camera on for Tom's runs on Saturday, so all you get is me fumbling with the shifter knob.
In my defense, I'm not used to reverse being on the left (it's to the right in the RX-8). I kept missing 2nd by putting it into the reverse channel on my downshifts.

And here's my fastest run from Sunday, a 66.4xx. Unfortunately I coned all my runs, on this run it was the second cone on the right after the long slalom (with 3 pointer cones).

Maybe it's the wide angle lens but I wouldn't have flagged you down in the slalom either.

or maybe that is one of those fancy BMW safety features...it prevents you from shifting if it thinks you don't know what to do.

Re: April Autocross weekend PHOTO/VIDEO thread
It was justfied at the slalom. I was working the first right hander and was already predicting a red flag at around the 180.Marshall Grice wrote:Maybe it's the wide angle lens but I wouldn't have flagged you down in the slalom either.

Was not close enough by me though for me to throw a flag yet.

Re: April Autocross weekend PHOTO/VIDEO thread
I dunno Marshall... I know I can't be the only one who feels uneasy trying to look ahead and see another car in my line of sight. IMO each car on course should be 1 section away from the next car... Not one element. At that point I feel there should of been a red flag before the slalom.

Re: April Autocross weekend PHOTO/VIDEO thread
Sure it's distracting to the driver but so are a lot of other things that you don't get re-runs for. The spacing I saw in your video didn't look to be a safety issue until about when you got flagged.Jonathan Lugod wrote:I dunno Marshall...

From my vantage, I would have flagged him one station earlier. When he was actaully flagged, I was jumping up and down yelling for a flagJonathan Lugod wrote:I dunno Marshall...

If you encounter what is an unsafe condition to you, you always have the right to stop and ask for a rerun, you don't have to wait for a red flag.Marshall Grice wrote:Sure it's distracting to the driver but so are a lot of other things that you don't get re-runs for.
