I can stand in the hot pits and push all of your start buttons at an appropriate time. But then what you will need is an editing program that can combine all three cameras into one video.

I use Adobe Premier Pro for video editing. I used to be great at it, but I'm sure I'm still good enough to make it work. It's just hard for me to find the time.

Jeff,
Are you coming for moral support or to use and abuse your car?

I've just used Windows Live Movie Maker. It is not a great tool but enough to get the job done. Editing is time-consuming and can cause sleepless nights.

Mike, I've spun out the MGA on Turn 3. The high line on that turn makes me nervous. For some reason, I find that the car is very loose on the high line, but quite stable on the low line. I've been apexing early and using the apex curbing to help turn the car. Probably bad habit that needs to be kicked. Well at least I should be hitting the curbing a little later.

I'm looking good for showing up on 10/27, but I was coming to time some laps and to take some pictures - just general moral support. (Aashish, make sure you bring your I-phone so I can get the times.) I'll probably have to leave at around 3:45 or 4:00. If it's nice, maybe I can talk my friend Glenn into coming up, in which case I may be able to stay a little later.

I'll most likely still have my number on the fender from New Hampshire. But I've taken off my wrist band. Who knows, if they have an open slot, maybe I'll drive. But I'll have already had four days on track this month, so maybe I'll have reached my limit.

Jeff, bring the car. Not sure what SCDA rules are about S2000's at Lime Rock. I thought they needed hardtops.

If you leave early then who buys me a drink after a long hard half day of driving

I spun that time because I wasn't paying attention, going too fast, jabbed the brakes and my tires were cold. It was the first hot lap and about 8:45 in the morning. I hadn't been on track in 3 months. I am usually OK at the high line, although I often have throttle induced over steer as I track out.
