VOI Live Ustream

[viper_itch]

While no expert, I will attempt to Ustream parts of the caravan to Charlotte live tomorrow and other VOI events as possible.

I figure why not abuse my unlimited ATT data plan for the final few days I have it.

That being said, don't expect much... no promises.

I wanted to stream some of the "epic" cruise yesterday, but that thought ended almost immediately as the Viper I was following went in the wrong direction. I had to use the phone as a GPS most of the day.

This highlight of the cruise was coming to an intersection with my group and as we were stopped at the light we had a group coming towards us and to the left and right. Vipers going everywhere and in all directions, lol.

I was able to stream the autocross this morning, and at 11:07 pulled a 180 for your viewing pleasure.

Rain shut down the drag strip after my first run this afternoon, so I didn't have a chance to stream that.

And for some reason cell coverage is poor for me at the speedway, so no streaming of the road course.

Here is the autocross spin. Nothing special, but it is amazing how quickly that happened.

I was doing plenty of that a few weeks ago in the Dry

But on a big Airfield runway Have to say those lamp posts in the car park look a bit too close for my liking!

Itch thanks for the video! Was the weather like that the whole time?

Group B got screwed. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome.... but the rain on Saturday messed up a ton of track time for B. It was mostly like what you see in the videos, brief periods of drizzle. There was some drying in the afternoon, before more drizzle and later rain. Group B also had to be the test dummy for the cruise, which over ran by 3 hours. Still awesome... just long, almost 9 hours. The Penske garage is like the final seen from Raiders of the Lost Ark, except with NASCAR cars stretching into the distance. Sunday's open track time allowed group B to get it all back as the weather was awesome. I ran the Roval at CMS until dizzy.

I lucked into 4 runs with the same instructor and at one point he hopped in and said, "Oh good, I know you're not going to kill me" I got good instruction and progresses nicely without getting crazy. Same guy also said this when I was being passed, "Don't worry, we'll pass him after he wrecks." .... and we did. Bummer was that wreck and a photo shoot took a bit of time, but it was also a nice breather.

Needless to say, all autocross winners were from group A. They had great weather for Friday.

Hahaha - nice spin
I did the same thing on the other course... 270 degrees on the 3rd set of cones.
Actually I thought the rain made it kinda fun out there.
