Had some fun at NJMP Lightning with my LS2 swapped e36.
Here are few random laps. After not being with track scene for 1.5 seasons, it's slowly coming back.

Proper video this time, my last 3 laps at Sonoma Raceway from this past Sunday. Might need some time to process to excuse the low quality.

Second time at the Ridge Motorsports Park
Still very inconsistent weather
Palmer Motorsports Park on May 24, 2017
Club: SCCA Track Night in America - Advanced Run Group
Warm @ 71 degrees
2001 E46 330ci (250hp -- 3100 lbs)
PSS10s - camber 2.7F/2.2R
Intake/Headers/Software/3.46 Diff/Hoosier R7s
Best on the day was 1 min 59 seconds (my best at the track is 1:58)
* The last lap my gas pedal started coming off, which was frustrating.
* And then my Hoosier's are done - corded on the outside - also frustrating.

My third trackday within a month. Time to take a break.
Unfortunately no speed/overlay because the GPS in my GoPro wasn't working. I'll load it into Harry's Laptimer at some point to get the data.

Bought some take off Toyo RR (barely feels faster than my NT01 I ran for 5 events and killed)
new personal best by .2 which is better than nothing I guess
going back out this weekend at NCM.
Very dusty lens. First time to this track, and this layout. PB lap is @ 5:15 in the video.

Driving in triple digit desert heat was a first for me. Grip & balance both called in sick.
That track surface looks terrible. Hardly any curbs or rumble strips either, and just dirt outside the track? I won't be heading down there anytime soon!
You need to come up to MRLS. Last weekend was the World Superbike Championship. Track surface was immaculate, newly repainted and repaired curbs. So good.

This past Tuesday at MRLS. 60 cars total, hardly 30 left by the afternoon. Perfect weather and lots of clean laps! Ran out of gas accidentally right after this lap and killed my fuel pump.

Watkins Glen with SCDA last Monday
First session, had a hose melt so I lost the next good weather session. Last session was wet so no good lap-times possible
looking at my line, there is lots of time left to cut
My first time at Thunderhill 5 mile, cyclone with west bypass. I've done just west before, but 5 mile is very fun. America's longest road course, apparently!

Nice video, what editor did you use to add the gauges etc?

HPDE at High Plains Raceway last weekend. Quite eventful...seized front brake piston, flat tire, and managed to fail my TT check ride due to missing flags

Instead of a c-clamp I highly suggest this.

Here are a couple laps from earlier this summer at the first NASA HPDE at High Plains Raceway. I have been working on improving my technique, line and times. My previous best on this track and in this car was a 2:14.2. On this day I managed to get into the 2:10's and was really stoked. I have been studying my times and technique on my AiM Solo. I think the Solo combined with driving coaching has really helped.
MSR Cresson, 1.7 mile CCW with PCA during their club race weekend. Very small DE groups, so plenty of open track on a nice cool day.
New PB for me of 1:23:01
2001 Steel Gray MCoupe - 147,000 miles and owned since new. MCS 2WNR suspension, Hotchkiss swaybar, poly bushings all around, cat delete headers with custom tune, 3.73 LSD, and Clownshoe Motorsports rear subframe reinforcement.
