This is phase 1 with 17 turns. Turn 9 is an off axis -2 deg. and turn 13 is banked with +10 deg. Really fun! for some reason it wouldn't allow me to Embed

Never heard of Chuckwalla, but it looks fantastic! Nice and open with a lot of run-out incase you make a mistake. BTW, the camera is nice and clear, is that the GoPro HD Hero? I've got one and use it for Mtn biking and I also mount it inside my Radio Control truck believe it or not. Great little cameras. Yours must be mounted outside. I'm sure you can mount it on the dashboard inside, that way you can still hear the engine. That'll also help you later down the road when watching the vids to see where you're bogging or if you're having trouble rev-matching out of certain turns etc.

It is a GoPro HD and I love it. I have in car footage as well(mounted on my roll bar) but it's a bit too far away to show the outside and layout of the track. I'll post that up a little later to show you what I mean. I think the HD has a zoom option if I'm not mistaken but I didn't have time to figure it out. Thanks for checking it out fella's.
