I know, and I don't know how he did it (well, aside from the fact he has more rubber/road contact than anyone else).

He was in the low 30's if I remember right?

Yeah, he was just a fet hundredths short of breaking the 30 second barrier.

I know that with the camera in my car I could see very clearly where I need a lot of improvement. I could see why I did better on some runs than others and Scott watched them and gave me good advice. In all the commotion I forgot to give Scott the camera and mount to record his runs so he could try and improve as well but It'll be used in the future without a doubt.

It was instantly obvious how valuable an in-car camera can be to improving your skills!

Hi Matt:

Can you upload the video to YouTube? I'd like to see it too.

30.4 is what I ran.... :) Yeah the 255's are a bit of rubber..... but those kumho Victoracers are junk compared to the Nitto NT-01s that I was running.... if I had 255's in the nittos I would have been under 30 seconds...they just have so much more grip...

I wish we would have remembered to do the Cam mount in the rabbit.... id like to see my runs to see how I looked....

Yeah. I'll need to put it all together soon. I'd really like to get my times edited in with it. I think the times with the video will really show where I went wrong and how I changed my approach. Even Scott saw it was obvious.
