ECR Corvette Day

[Mach1]

Went out there to play with the vettes in my miata, best lap was a 2:04.
Nice silver ZR1 at the beginning of the vid.

That's awesome? how does it work, do you just queue it up manually and it overlays on the video?

The data is in a csv file, you import the vid and data into xyz program and line up the times. I was using racerender for this one.

Also, harrys lap timer can do it too, you can take video with a ios device, and it will automatically do all of the shit using the built in gps and accelerometers but it's not as accurate.

Ah okay, yeah that's what I figured. Pretty cool, the end result looks great. Just needs more corvette.

Generally vette owners can't drive.

qft!


*Edit* I cant stop laughing at the irony of being the only non-vette owner in this thread.

lol, yeah I was looking at the cars in my run group thinking, shit I'm screwed, then I run up on a c6 z06 and passed him, then a zr1, then a c5 z06, etc...
I was prob only 2 secs faster than the fastest vettes, then the LG world challenge camaro comes out for some TNT and runs a fucking 1:52:xx

I was there. My stupid stock CTS cooked the brake fluid in the first session and I slid off the track when my brakes completely failed. No damage and LG flushed the fluid and I went back out but my brake pads were chunking and didn't feel too good.

So much for thinking I could take the car out for a single track day without modding the fluid and pads. Tires were squealing like stuck pigs too.

Yeah that fucking sucks, that place is hell on brakes, I have $2500 in brakes on my miata just for that track. Glad to hear no damage, I have had a few bad brake experiences there.....
I have thought about taking my z06 up there but I don't think the brakes would hold up in stock form.

Baron is STILL the only guy in the thread w/o a vette, wtf!

I laughed at the instructor starting to grab the wheel to make sure you went off straight and you sort of shooing him away.

I have the motor if that helps...

They will hold up, I never had any problem. Except the fact I had to replace them the next day.

ECR? MSRC is much easier on brakes.
