Had a blast this weekend. Car didn't hold together real well, had some issues. But still got in 2 hours of track time.

It was only my second trackday, so I have plenty to learn still.
Just lots of little annoying things to deal with throughout the course of the day, but car over all was solid engine wise which is the important part I guess. Had an issue with a wastegate bolt, it flew out and stripped the hole. Had to pull the radiator and rethread a hole and put a new bolt in. Car wouldn't start after one session, had to jiggle the starter wires (seems to be a common problem when it gets hot, has happened both track days?). My exhaust hanger (metal piece) for my Buschur Exhaust sheered off on track, so I dented it up the axle back portion pretty good, had to remove and leave just the midpipe. Bolts were loose on the clamp for the midpipe, so it rotated and dragged on the next lap, had to tighten everything up.
Was only running 20psi for the track with a couple gallons of 100 each tank. Even with it 100 degrees outside, oil and coolant temp stayed nice and cool.

A few laps from the fist NASA event at the new National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park in Kentucky. The black C5 just knicked me both days for 2nd place. But a blue 350z spanked us both. Trying to follow him into the high speed sweepers, no dice. He had a full aero package and crushed me and the vette in places on the track.

Some videos from my weekend at VIR in July 2015 for NASA TT. Still got more time in it as the alignment was wrong and various issues kept me from getting warmed up and ready to push (e.g. you can see me lifting in the uphill esses where I don't need to usually), will just have to get things sorted out and back to the track again.
Fastest Lap 2:00.119 (and my first win):

For those using gopro's, how are you guys setting up your gopro and how are you editing it?
It seems like mine get killed quality wise by the time it gets to youtube for one. And also my gopro seems to just pick up the sun and is super bright outside the windshield and barely anything is visible.
Examples:
Bright: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uABTzvXSTrU
Less bright but dull (turned down exposure in gopro studio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FIWoPO0Ao
