Weather was very dicey. When the event finally came it looked like a full day of sunshine at Lightning, followed by an all-day rainstorm.
Well, it rained all night, but the morning dawned cold, windy, maybe a little mist/occasional drizzle, but the rain that hit NYC and Philly didn't get to NJMP until about 3pm, by which time we had cleared out.
So we got a 2nd full day on track, and nearly half the people had left, so basically we had open track from 9-2:30. It WAS cold, and occasionally some drops hit the windshield, but the track stayed remarkably dry and had predictable (if lowish) grip.
So i felt like I got a bonus day. Happy, happy. Car ran well. I drove well, and more importantly, felt steady improvement (backed up by big moves in lap times, uh, down)
Took a couple instructor buddies out for rides and got very valuable coaching (even if it was "just keep it planted and follow any wiggle")
I'll get a video up. Not sure if any of the better sessions from Lightning made it to the camera - my SD card filled about the same time i got my sea-legs.

ps: does anyone know how to make a GoPro HD Hero (1) film in 480/30 (not 480/60)?

Notes say most of it, open track (Instructors and Black/white), not many of us left. Cold, windy, slightly damp (no actual water on surface), but overall pretty darn good considering the deluge that is here (animals are outside in pairs today). Ran out of gas (light wen ton, 14 miles --> empty) before the session ended, so i pitted after a cool-down-ish lap.
NNJR Solo event at Thunderbolt
Another will go up soon from Lightning the previous day, but it was early and not that good. OK and gives good view of the track ( and some damn fast machines and drivers that were out there, some sporting 360 factory race cars, Cayman series cars, or private coaches, ouch).
