I've made a lot of changes to my car in the last few years, but haven't done video at most events. When I did remember to take a camera, I always got too busy with the event to stay on top of recording. I was prepping the car for this private track day and finally took the plunge on a Garmin Catalyst. I like it a lot and it should make it easy to start recording and uploading again. Unfortunately, the car was pushing some coolant out and that splattered on the windshield a bit...I should've cleaned it in between sessions, but I didn't. Lap times in the video titles are the official track transponder times, which vary slightly from the Garmin, but...close enough.
In June 2024, I had set a PB at Hallett of 1:28.175. Back in June of 2025, after a round of upgrades from Vorshlag in Texas that included some killer MCS shocks and struts, I ran a 1:25.584.
This was Lap 1 in my 6th (and final) session of the day. "Sessions" were actually only 2-3 laps each (because I finally installed an oil temp gauge and realized how badly I've been cooking the oil in this engine for the last few years!) Temp was around 70* F.
