SL65 BS at Laguna Seca - Sunday 11/9 - Post Mortem

Well, I went to all the trouble of getting food for 15 people. MJ50 drove up from LA. No one else showed up!!!!

Well...... THANK YOU. Too much of a crowd might not have allowed the access we got.

MJ50 and I are pulling together the pictures and video we took. I have not downloaded anything yet. Actually he is on the road as we speak.

Our faces hurt from smiling too much. More later.

Here is a hint.

MJ50, max speed was 124.27 before breaking into the Andretti Hairpin.
The lateral G numbers I need to look at more closely. The max numbers do not seem right.

EDIT, RAW DATA NOW LINKED

MJ50 hot laps.

youtube finally got done digesting my 400MB file.

Here is MJ50's 3 laps of Laguna Seca in a CLK63 Black Series with the chief engineer of the Black Series program at the wheel.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw506VZAKUs

You have to forgive the video "quality". MJ was paying more attention to being there and taking in the once in a lifetime experience than video taping. As he should be.

I think there is some good conversation between MJ50 and Arnd, the chief BS engineer.

You can see the PBOX mounted on the right.
