Track day with my 06 Cayman S

Thought I would share some video from the first track day of the year for PCA Hudson-Champlain section at Limerock Park, CT. We had a rare chance to run the alternate up-hill course due to water/ice on the normally used up-hill section of the track. Second half of the video was taken from the nose-camera position, it gives a real sense of speed from 12 inches off the pavement.


I tested a new lap-timer/data acquisition app on my phone (Harry's LapTimer). It worked great for learning purposes. You can sync to GoPro if using an IPhone
Best 20min run averages (reference only; It's a DE - no racing ):
lap time - 1:12-1:15 (1.5 mile alternate uphill course)
Speed: 80mph, front straight (120mph)

It was a great day on the track (is there ever a bad one? ). We only had 8-10 cars in the novice group.
Car and driver worked well enough to graduate from green (novice) to yellow (intermediate) run group.

Car vitals:
2006 Cayman S, sport chrono, ceramic brakes
front cross-brace, rear frame brace
H&R lowering springs
VR engine tune (highly recommended for the Cayman....VR rocks!)
Falken street performance tires.
