What model camera is it?

moxie
08-24-2005, 09:25 AM
I just use really fast shutter speeds and multi shot.

Its much easier to get a good pic when you get 5 chances every few seconds :)


Did you check da intarw3b?

wgnths
08-24-2005, 02:36 PM
you need to!!! camera is a sony cybershot dsc-w1. it has the ability for good pics(5.1 mp) but i have no idea how to really set it up for different shots, and i know nothing about shutter speed etc. i would love to take some classes.

pickinicholas

spoolnv@cox.net !!!!!!!!!! and after looking at those pics, i've decided to take those cf mirrors off. they look like little floppy ears :lol:

Bphilly
08-24-2005, 07:55 PM
hmmmm.....your little floppy ears look kinda funny

wgnths
08-24-2005, 08:06 PM
this is the pic that did it for me......the wagon just looks too flat on the sides with them. therefore they must go.

Where you guys able to find out laptimes?

moxie
08-24-2005, 09:19 PM
Kinda, I was timing some of Erin's laps in the car, and Marions wife was as well.

We were around the 1:30s for most of the day, approaching low 1:27s near the end. Marion was pulling 1:25s.

Erin and I were toping out at around 102 on the main straight, then braking down to 60 ish for the sweeper...

A pretty decent course length actually. And it was a good combo of fast, mid range and low speed turns. Plus a huge effing bump in the middle of the best line. LOL

I am so very very jealous :oops:

wgnths
08-25-2005, 10:52 AM
as you should be! yeah my best laps were at the end in the 1:27's which im pretty happy with.

08-25-2005, 06:21 PM
man, I'm jealous too....that course looks fun and low risk. seems like you can really try and push your hardest without having to worry about contacting your insurance company the next day. definately gotta roll with you guys for the next one.

wgnths
08-25-2005, 07:59 PM
yes you do!! you'd love it.

1bad_ej20
08-26-2005, 07:33 AM
do you know when you'll be going out next or when the next day is? my schedule sucks cause i work SCO plus have a business on the side, so gotta plan ahead.

moxie
08-26-2005, 07:34 AM
They have em every month.

We weren't plannin on going back til maybe october...
I will see if I can find out the dates.

1bad_ej20
08-26-2005, 07:59 AM
thanks! that'd be cool. do you know what organization runs these things?

moxie
08-26-2005, 08:38 AM
The actual track puts them on.

:)


We can also rent the track anytime we want.


It's like $500-750 or something. :)

1bad_ej20
08-26-2005, 08:42 AM
that's pretty sick! what about insurance liabilities? do they have staff working the course? corners, flags, timing, traffic control, etc. or would we have to provide that?

I want to do that! Marion and I were talking about it on Tuesday. It's like $500, but there isd a limit of 5 cars... and the track ALL DAY LONG!

moxie
08-26-2005, 10:49 AM
No real insurance thingys. I think they may provide a single flagger.

Pretty much just give em the money and play.


If I was to do it, it would need to be a light day. Like 5 cars or so...
With there only being a few drivers, you don't need to worry about workers, flaggers or insurance.

Definately going to that event.

wgnths
08-28-2005, 09:56 PM
ah crap, same day as sco! i'd rather be running asr though! im in. whats the deal with the event? since i cant seem to get off my ass to get the 240 finished up. :oops:

1bad_ej20
08-29-2005, 10:50 AM
damn! guess that means i won't be going. Maybe next time. I'm gonna miss NASA too :( Gotta go to cali for my pop's b-day.

I'm freakin itching to drive :(

moxie
08-29-2005, 11:23 AM
We can get the 240 done by then

i didn't even notice that it was the same day. i'll have to decide, too, but definitely leaning towards track time at ASR.

brady can offer more information. he attended a similar event at the start of summer.

the general idea is the same, lots of cheap 'n easy track time. it is a 2-day event with a time attack competition on Sunday (i think).
