Video from 02/15 @ Laguna Seca with HOD

Finally, some in-car video that's better than "utter crap". Here are a total of four laps of Laguna Seca in the 1:55 to 1:57 range from the 2010/02/15 HPDE with Hooked on Driving:





Seca isn't my best track and when I watch the video all I can see is lost time. I should be hard on the gas at least 10-15' earlier in T9, for example. The shuffle steering hurts my brain to watch; there's a habit I'd like to break.

More Track Time!

June 5th and 6th at Buttonwillow with NCRC. I've never done Buttonwillow before so I'm really looking forward to it!

Signs of liquid water in Saturnian moon | International Space Fellowship: "Scientists working on the Cassini space mission have found negatively charged water ions in the ice plume of Enceladus. Their findings, based on analysis from data taken in plume fly-throughs in 2008 and reported in the journal Icarus, provide evidence for the presence of liquid water, which suggests the ingredients for life inside the icy moon. The Cassini plasma spectrometer, used to gather this data, also found other species of negatively charged ions including hydrocarbons."

The Mustang still gets the best comments...

"[The guys from the hauling company] really liked your Mustang. I told them they could have it if they could carry it away. *pause* The big guy looked like he was about ready to try." -Pops
