Just some WSCB YouTube Video
Just some Fernley video I threw up on You Tube for anyone that wants to watch.
YouTube - Project Ludicrous Speed WSCB2008 Track Day
More or less just lead and follow, I wasn't comfortable enough to do more...all in due time! 
Sorry about the audio; apparently the mic in the camera wasn't rated for 130db. LOL!

Wow! What a cool instrument setup you have there. Are all the gauges big enough to read at speed? Looks like you had a gauge for every function imaginable! Great video!!!

Gauges
The instrument panel is a 12.1" touch screen. It's big and bulky because it's a 2000nits bright display intended for ships and is direct sunlight viewable. Behind the dash is a little minibox PC that runs custom software and interfaces to a SnEEC datalogger (a product I designed/sold for the EEC-IV Mustang for many years).
Right now, since I'm shaking down the car, the panel displays the kitchen sink. Can I read it all, hell no. However, I don't really need to. If something important goes wrong, the PC will flash the entire background of the dash either yellow or red depending on severity; and has the ability to do things like rev limit the engine, switch to an alternate (less aggressive) calibration, and so forth...if needed.
After this track experience, I can tell you that the only thing I'll have on the dash for "track mode" is RPM, MPH, and warning lights. I don't have time to look at anything else. In fact, I'm going to install a very loud sounder under the dash because I'm not sure I'd even see a flashing yellow/red background...my eyes are very much on the road.
Thanks for your compliments, I was really pleased with how it all worked...this was the first time I ever exercised the car at this level. I'm going to buy one of those gomotorsports cameras for an event in June...hopefully next time we'll have some decent audio.

Sorry about that!
I didn't think about introducing myself, sorry about that...we geeks are a bit socially inept. I knew who you were though; if that counts for anything. I just tried to stay out of the way and get a feel for the event as a newcomer...next time I'll be a bit less stressed and more social. I had a great time watching you guys run though, and am certainly looking forward to the next time. Thanks for the hello!

Well, when next we meet, I'll have my gas-powered go-ped to run against your Prius-powered go-ped...maybe some full contact NASCAR style runs? 
Ya done good based on the video...damn good line.

I'm ready for the GoPed showdown when you are and will start watching ebay for body armor. Bring it on fuel burner!
Beware though, I have one of these sitting on the shelf in the lab waiting for me to burn the stock motor up.

Muahaha! Won't last as long, but I'm sure it will be very entertaining.
I was starting to pick up the track by the end of the day, but was getting tired enough that my mind was starting to go. When you forget what turn is coming next, it's time to go home and have a beer and a nap.

About the only way to get reasonable audio with video from inside a Cobra is to go to a "shotgun" external mic where you can get it out of the wind noise.
Short of a video camera it'll be very hard to accomplish.

Try...
I'm going to try something hoakie.
I'm going to hot-glue a can over the mic on the camera, and run a vacuum line to the engine bay.
The thought is that the tube will channel engine noise to the mic...which will be shielded from everything else.

I have some great incar from my GT40 but alas I'm not smart enough to get on the utube etc. etc.
What if I send someone a DVD? Can you do this for me? I have the last two sessions group 2 and group 2+3. Very good video quality and great sound.

I'd be happy to.
Send it to me at work.

The video will have to be down-converted to lose some of the quality (probably) so it's reasonable to upload to youtube, but I'll take care of it and I'll set you up a youtube account.
Shoot me your email address and what youtube username you want too, so I can set it up properly.
I'm excited to see what I look like getting passed. I'm sure I waved you by at some point if you were in group 2.

I'll put it into the mail Tue. I live right across the bay so you will get it by the end of the week. I'll include a note with my information.
I have you in it a couple of times I think.
Thanks, Howard
