1:47 lap at Laguna Seca in Skip Barber Formula 2000

This was my best lap after the two days of training at the 2 day advanced skip barber racing school. Unfortunately, according to instructors my driving was not quite right: too deep into the turns and slow half way through them, and of course I had a hard time being consistent, but amazingly I pulled out a 1:47 on this lap while passing 2 cars. Go figure... (my more typical times were in the 1:48 to 1:50 range).

Haha, I should really rally know better but to answer.

Dear Bruno, I'm glad you're here to give me driving and racing tips.

So tell me again if I don't have sweaty hands, and have a better feel of the steering wheel and car without gloves, why "I should not be allowed to race without gloves" :)

I want to buy a camera and timer.

What do you use and where do you get it from and what is the price?

@rockyfroggy

I had the GoPro wide, I now have the GoPro HD. It's around $300 with the mounting accessories.

For the timer, I just use my stopwatch.

it was easy to use the bridge as a place to start/stop the timer

You should not be allowed to race without gloves, but it was a nice lap anyway

Curious why you started the timer between turns 3 and 4?
