Nope, his gauge cluster is moving side to side. I thought the whole dash was moving at first.

Chad, was the passenger instructing, or you were instructing the passenger? From the hand signals, it looked like the passenger was instructing you. (praise when you really nailed a corner)

cluster is moving....but not the guages on the cluster....don't know what is going on....kept taking it out and lost the screws....

passenger is a marine who is a great friend who was in town. was pretty heavy into tracking for 3 years then decided school was more important (rightfully so).....so he knew when the corner was right....went back and looked at data

138 on front straight
142 back straight
115 uphill esses

slow at south bend....lol

That's really moving Chad. Seemed to me that you were significantly faster on your 2:12 lap through the uphill esses and again in the brake zone into Oak Tree then you were on the 2:13 lap. Curious if the data supports my impression from the video. And how much time did you loose with the regular misses grabbing 5th gear?
