Here is this year’s creation:

autocross video

I got #24 or 25 out of 104.

I find this fascinating. I haven’t looked at the GPS data to correlate but using YouTubeDoubler, I put two of my runs side by side to compare them.

I had six runs, three morning and three afternoon. The three morning were fairly useless times, but taught me something. The last three were fairly close to each other in time, although I believe I hit a cone on run 6. The GPS data shows some differences for sure, although I don’t think the speed data from GPS is all that accurate.

Here is run 5 versus run 6. As you can see, run 6 was much faster all the way up until the last couple turns, where I threw it all away.

Here is run 4 versus run 6. Not perfectly synchronized but a bit of the same.

I made this with all three but it seems impossible to get the timing perfect.

Anyhow, good fun. I think I figured out a good mounting point above the windshield, which gives a better view of the cones. So I’ll try that next time.

Here are the three videos plain:
run 4
run 5
run 6
