Nice pics Tadd! Thanks.

Saturday (3.2 seconds slower than Ryan): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5BUnhdqxMs&hd=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sunday (1.1 seconds slower than Ryan): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H10ZIT0iefo&hd=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Still figuring out the slicks, but I was finally starting to push them hard enough in my last run on Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able to run them closer to the limit at the Pro next weekend!

I took some, too. Only Day 1, 1st group.

This takes the crown for "most comically horrible" run I have amongst my Youtube collection...

Nice, precise car control though! Old tires ?! ... or just "lead foot'iritise"

(Where's the Camaro?!)

here's my awesome first run on sunday. The car was crazy loose and i got all 4 wheels to spin up coming out of the turn around.

oh and it was +4...fail.

Hey, I broke twice-- you forgot the braking zone after the lights.

@Jeff-I'd say 1.1 second off of alien boy in the best prepped Solstice in the country on a tough ballsy course is pretty stout. Nice driving.

Sunday I tapped the breaks into the Berry gate, hit the brakes hard at the turnaround, and broke setting up the walloms.... Of course I was nearly flat on the wood for insanely long stretches into each of the three brakes spots. ;) Oh yeah... And I hit the brakes hard for the redflag with Palero driving towards me.
Better question is how many times Jon found the brake pedal.

yah no kidding. Jeff your videos ever since you had the Mercury have impressed me a lot. You have a lot of potential so keep up the great driving!

@steve: i barely touched the pedal... maybe half-pedal?

Side by side video of Snowball vs the North Korean. Oversteer FTL. Snowball FTW! Enjoy!

You broke before the Berry gate??? No need to.

These are mostly of your friends from Arizona, but there are shots of others mixed in on at least day 1. Thanks for hosting a great national tour event.

Gotta do something about that wind noise!

Don't know what type of camera he used, but one trick is to stuff sponge material into the open back openings of the GoPro camera

We use the GoPro HD

I tried the skeleton housing out so I could access the card and ports easily. But I may go back to the watertight housing. The watertight gave me engine noise and not much else.
