Z06 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Finally bought an AiM Dash and can't believe I wasted so much track time, along with years, w/o one. Best purchase yet. Home track is MSRH and had Mills post a fast lap in my car. After overlaying my lap to his, I see all my mistakes. They are subtle but they add up to a slow lap. Now the tricky part is learning to duplicate urgency w/o over driving the car. Granted not driving consistently hurts. Seat time comes in spurts for me due to schedules and broken crap. It's great when I have the time to practice. After days of practicing, it seems like one day everything clicks and that elusive laptime appears on the time sheet. And you think to yourself, "How did that just happen?" Same can be said when you haven't practiced and you feel like your working hard while driving slower. Ugh! Now with the dash all the mysteries of driving are revealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bnjmn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 What dash did you get? Best learning device is something that will spit out sector deltas after each sector so you get relatively instant feedback. Looking forward to it this year, was stuck with after session review last year, which was still worth about +20 mod points (and that was w/o synch'd video, another this year addition).

hustler Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I recently got my G2X working (after 3-trips in for warranty work) and I don't really know what I'm doing. Any tips for getting started reading and making changes to my driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z06 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 @hustler...learning myself. Can your system overlay laps? If your coming to the Houston event, get with Michael Mills or a guy named Hunter. You can find them in the Tax Master garage. Very helpful people with tons of knowledge in SM all the way to Porsche Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbrew8991 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Best learning device is something that will spit out sector deltas after each sector so you get relatively instant feedback. Traqmate's +/- bar graph stuff is even better imho. Plus its so easy in general that even this idiot can figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z06 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Kinda the same principle with AiM's real time splits. The advantage to the dash is you can build upon it. GPS, video, and data input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very helpful people with tons of knowledge in SM all the way to Porsche Cup. I'll swing by with my 1040-EZ. Right now I plan on breaking-up some sectors, overlaying, and comparing segments to see what is fastest, where. All I have is data now, no video...after the tow vehicle and trailer I'll get something fancy for my hopeful future in CMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
