The track was warm around noon. Got a 14.315 and 14.353. After that it got cold and windy and the track conditions worsened so I was consistently hitting 14.5's

I had a heck of a time getting them on though - my hub rings for my normal wheels are kinda hard to get off. Also - my car's lowered, so i couldn't get my jack out from underneath the car without using my spare tire scissor jack to lift it up some.

Not sure about that helmet you were wearing though...
Looked like you were getting ready to run your paper boy route...
I'm teasin ya.Where is the 14.3 vid though? It's too bad that you didn't/couldn't warm up the Drag radials, as your 60 time as well as your 1/4 time would have benefited from warmed up tires. Your average would have probably been more around low 14's rather than mid 14's.

Yeah yeah - rental helmets are crap. I shoulda used my own - they woulda still let me use it. At least it looks better than that crappy one I had.
The run I got a 14.315 on, my camera wasn't mounted and aimed right... i couldn't hit the button and wound up knocking over the tripod. I think I got a vid from the 14.352 I got, but you can't see the Tree. I'll see what I can dig up tonight.
After my first 2 time trial runs in the morning, it got really windy and there was leaves and pebbles blowing all over the place. I think part of my traction problems were due to my wheels picking up tons of little rocks... I need to tighten my e-brake so I could get some better burnouts - that way I could clean off a lot of the crap.

I usually mount my camera on my tripod and brace it so that it's tipped forward enough so I can reach the button. It works pretty nicely (as you see in the videos). I just gotta aim it correctly and not knock it over like a dipwad.
