Darn beat me to it.
Given that I have an idea what Chris is talking about, I'll give you a dollar for your soon-to-be irrelevant 20+ year old car :D

It's rare that I remember to turn the camera on. Even rarer that John actually lets me see the video.

But, here's a good one:

I think this is Jeremy's fastest run(+1) against by fastest clean run(~0.3 slower).

Scott I discovered your problem.
That Gopro camera you let me borrow was set on "slo-mo" so all my runs looked like they sucked too. Darn.

Um well not quite what I was expecting to see...but anyway...I guess that's how they get lots of repeat business :)

Nice video Loren. Is that the same NC I drove on Saturday? If so it is a very nice setup.

I've almost got google drive figured out. I'll give you a shout as soon as Loren's video is uploaded.

I don't know if you drove it or not, but that's John's NC.

We've definitely got it dialed in. It's a happy little car. 8-)

April file is the same as the March file.

The older I get, the more I suck. I really was on the verge of falling asleep when I did that last night. Hustled through it and went to bed.

But, now it is correct! If you had the April file open before, you may need to refresh the page.

Allowing for the 3 drops, M2 is looking pretty close...

Thank for keeping up with the points, Loren.
