Faster, faster!!!

So Eric, Dennis, and I finally got together for a karting day.  We went on an “expert/amateur” day which means that you need to be fast enough and show enough control to make sure you don’t get in anyone’s way.  As it turns out… Dennis is really slow, Eric is borderline, and I’m probably just on the other side of said border.  Oops.

Anyway, I did take some video of Eric going around with the new camcorder and Scott Speed was there driving around (he’s really smooth) and we didn’t break anything so it was a pretty good day overall.  (We did replace the brake pads, but that’s more of a normal wear item.)

Anyway, here are some of Dennis’ pics.

  4. Speaking of fast vs. slow, look at Scott Speed’s apporach to this corner. He looks to be drifting towards the apex of the turn, small steering angle, rear tire is heavily deformed. Then look at me, apex isn’t even in the photo. doh! :p

  5. nice analysis! once we get the Mychron, we’ll be able to get a better feeling for where we stand on the novice/expert “issue.”
