it's a shame I didnt' get wreck creek one, I wanted to see if I could spot VanWay's Fiesta.
At Oregon I've got the settings to do GPS a 4Hz instead of 1Hz.
4 times the Hertz!!!1!
the speed and course should track a little better, But i'm not sure what it will do to battery life.
once the android ap is up we'll be able to remote start it.
I'll have an external camera if it isn't to wet out.

Wish me luck!

Dave - this is how you take a chicane:



(set a precedent)

Merilee - I saw You on smith creek!

Grant, Brian, you'll have to help me get the streaming setup.

excellent chicane execution, 9.8

I hope you saw me on the video of smith creek and not while you were driving it!

What, never seen a chicane before? smiling smiley

winking smiley

I think those are too tight and need way more tape. Not sure if I saw a warning arrow or not before the obstacle.?

Anders

Those chicanes are pretty famous out here. Between John Lane (?) and Adam Crane they are pretty beat up. I don't know about this year but they are usually set up in the parking lot at Parc Expose and everyone gets to drive thru a demo..demo being the key word. Adam's mom was scared by a chicane when she was with child. I've seen Adam hit them in the parking lot at the start.

I didn't see the first one cautioned either. It almost disappears in the sunlight also. Be nicer if we never had to use that stage anyway.

This is the point in the killing spree when you really should turn the gun on yourself

Steve. The entire Max video crew was drooling over your Capri. I was down at the bottom so only got to see it on your way out but thought it looked awesome also!
