I watched one of the videos this morning before work and it looks like you weren't even trying out there, lol. I guess it is the whole perspective thing. I can't wait to get to another event like this

Looks like a blast. How much did it cost to run the whole day?
My other buddy was there the day before for the drift event

Yea it def is a perspective thing, especially with the PDR footage and tires that really don't make any noise (no squeal). The GoPro captures the speed a bit better. I wasn't going 10/10ths of course but the G meter is more telling of what's going on inside the car. Lap traffic was quite the damper on things but it couldn't be helped. On the 2nd session, I attempted to pull in to give myself a buffer but when coming back out, I hit more traffic lol.

$150 for 60 mins of un-paced driving plus the paced session. It was a great value IMO however my tires and brakes have seen better days...

That's way cheaper than whatever a 144 mph speeding ticket would be
If I ever get my camaro on the road I'd love to take it there
What tires and brakes come stock? Time for carbon fiber brakes?

Yes very true. Def do it at least once. You won't be sorry.
The stock Z tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sport Runflats. People seem to "hate" them but I find them to be an extremely capable tire. The Cup 2's come on the Z07 package with the carbon ceramic brakes and more aero. The carbons would have been good but I can't stomach the replacement cost at $2,500 per rotor. Many guys who track their Z and have the carbons swap out the rotors/pads for another ceramic brand simply due to the cheaper replacement cost. The rotors will last if mostly street driving but heavy track use will wear them out.

so awesome. great stuff Brian. that sounds like a blast!
I noticed the same thing when replaying my in/car on/car GoPro footage, it looks like I am just out there driving around and not "racing" it is totally a Perspective thing a you stated. It is hard to estimate speed and distances. Also, my gopro captures a TON of wind noise, even with the hard waterproof case on. anything anyone can recommend to eliminate this?
very cool event you did. !

There is no tech that I saw so I think the rules are pretty lax. Guys with convertibles were running with the top down. Some had a roll bar while others didn't. I would probably check in with them before you look to sign up and pay the registration fee to make sure you won't have an issue.

Thanks man. It was a really great experience. Regarding the wind noise, I've seen they sell a stick on fuzzy thing to buffet wind noise on the GoPro cases. I haven't tried any of them out though.
