This looks to be another barn burner!

Looking at the entry list.. We have three father son entries!

Pretty cool! Preston and his father Dan Pardus, Selin and Selin ( Papi) Rollan and Tyler and his dad Vic Kicera.

Hey Jim, the waitress at K.C.'s Steak and Ribs near Mid Ohio thought Caveman was my son. Does that count? It shook me to the core LOL

Sounds like I need to dust off Pat, I mean the 1,6 and bring Pat and we could have 4 father son combos.

I'll be live streaming the races and shooting them in 360VR.  Click the link in my signature to view my feed.

Excellent! Before long we will be able to watch almost any race live, from almost anywhere. I suppose if too many people try to broadcast at the same time the cells cornering the track may have bandwidth issues but we'll deal with that if it happens. Meanwhile, thanks to those making the effort!

Tyler, do you have pictures of your new setup, mounted and ready to go? Also, do you have a sample video shot with it for us to test 360 viewing?

I'm using the dual Kodak 360sp 4K camera setup.  See the product here - http://kodakpixpro.c...ioncam/sp3604k/

 

I managed to capture the out lap while testing the NP01 I'll be driving at the Devil 12hr two weeks ago.  You need to view the video on YouTube using either Chrome or Firefox browsers.  Can't wait to shoot an entire SM race with this...should be exciting!!!  see 360VR teaser here - https://youtu.be/XOopL1HItKo

Works great on IOS and Safari! Hopefully it will also work with the Glyph when firmware 1.1 is released with unlocked head tracking. Should make for a nice combo.

So who won test day?

I  saw a TBL of a high 2:14.  Pretty Fast!

If we're going to start talking about TBL's then mine would be a 2:14.830 in the last session of the day.  My actual best lap time was in session 2 (2:16.039).  There are easily 15's out there in morning practice and qualifying sessions on good tires.  Times are looking to be very quick this weekend being group 1.  

[Jim Drago]

Add another 5-6 segments and you can probably gain another .3-.5

 

 

Here is a link to the schedule.. practice 8:15

Alex was swearing that high heat cycle tires were the ticket yesterday so I went out on 7HC tires and man they could be fast but the amount of grey hair they added to my collection wasn't worth it.

[tburas56]

Glad we don't race or qual TBL's. Nice job Blake, Danny and OPM..

[MPR22]

Times were about .3 slower than we thought they might be, track is getting dirty and we haven't even started racing yet. Went on stickers this afternoon, may go back to older tires didn't like the feel of the stickers.

[Steve Scheifler]

[JRHille]

Congrats Selin! Dominating SM

[Tyler Kicera]

Thanks for the ride Tyler! Great race, hope you captured it in 360 as well.

 

sure did....my rear facing 360 camera stopped recording at the finish line.  Should be fun to watch next week!

[Steve Scheifler]

Absolutely! BTW, congrats on a 2nd in a very strong field, and to Selin & Chris of course. I trust that Michael's and Todd's cars were OK and they will be back in the mix tomorrow.

What are you using for the live stream and how is it mounted?
