Hunting down exotics at Thunderhill..

[ITLBTU]

My wife got me some track time for my B-day last week. The first time out on the track I was passed by nearly everyone and I got a flat LF tire... The second time out a lone BMW M3 passed me, and I did some passing. The third through 6th times I was out hunting! I had a blast. I'll post links to my vids on youtube... I hope they capture the fun I had. My 5th session a BMW M3 rolled I think at turn 9... You can see the upside down car at the end of the 2nd run 5 vid... enjoy... I will post vids from my last run soon...

Great driving, thanks for sharing those vids. Oh, and thanks for making me want to get on a track even more!! That Cobalt was pretty quick, what kind of speeds were you getting on the straights?

[John Wright]

Thanks for the ride along....looks like fun. That lil Cobalt seemed to have plenty of zip in the first vid....

I was going 125 at the end of the long straight, and 100 at a few other places... I kept hitting my rev limiter in 3rd...

cool vids. what camera did you use and what group did you run with?

[ITLBTU]

I was in the "B" group. It's my wife's HD Flip video camera. It worked pretty good ... I think.

How did you mount the camera in your car? Thanks for the great videos.

I secured a tripod behind the passenger seat using zip-ties and tie-down straps.
