Post your track day videos from the 9-21 PSSR event at PIR.

Here's a couple of mine -

I borrowed the camera from my pit neighbor and followed him around for a few laps. No laughing.... just enjoy the view

Hey Rick,

Thanks for letting me pit with ya! I'm glad someone didn't forget to bring their chairs!

Do I have to start a facebook thing or is there any other way to view them?

Great Video. Looks like the DTC was working overtime on some of the corners. Were you on the gas, or just maintenance throttle when it was flickering ? its hard to tell with the Duc.

DTC was working on both maintenance and throttle application. I could probably turn it down another level, but I rather like keeping the plastic off the tarmac. I need to trust it more and just apply more throttle earlier but I'm still a wuss

I've made up my mind that an on board camera is a track day must. I only got one run with this camera I borrowed, but watching it back is like a riding lesson. There are so many mistakes and bad lines, etc., that you can analyze and try and fix which I'm not sure you'd remember from memory alone.

Not a wuss, from the video's you were still running mid 20's, good group B pace. Me on the other hand in Group C

I have watched your video a couple of times trying to figure out your gearing etc. great learning tool. Good to see lots of Ducs out there on Monday.

Finally got into the 1:19's by afternoon, but in reality there are so many areas for improvement that I wish there were more track days left this year to go and continue to learn.

I suppose that for 90 days experience on a sport bike, and for my 2nd track day I should be satisfied, but I'm not as I'm still doing so much wrong.... However, this is one thing I like about this sport. There is a huge learning curve and I don't foresee it ending for many, many years. Wahoo!

OK, I give up! How do I watch your videos? Do I need your name and password?

duc23 · 09-23-2009, 04:31 PM

Sorry - I guess a few of you don't have facebook accounts . As I work in the social media industry I guess I've been naive not to consider that there are still people out there without facebook accounts

(just teasing a few of you)

You will need a facebook account to watch facebook videos. It was the easiest way for me to upload the videos. (YouTube limits to 10min)

P.S. Perhaps soon the admins of this forum will enable embedded YouTube/Facebook/etc. videos. It's a simple vbulletin add on and then we could embed and watch videos directly on the forum.
