Thank You Senor! Had a few hours down time today so gave the wife's coupe a quick bubble bath. Wasn't much in a detailing mood so didn't notice till I was about to take the pics I'd forgotten the pipes and Tomato

What's Up E? I've no idea what a white LP bracket is or what in the world it's for either? Does it go well in a burrito or chalupa??

What up! Front liscense plate bracket ... Basically instead of the black one it is painted aw. I'll try to text you a pic. I guess you could eat a chalupa on top of it?

RioGrandeValley · 01-02-2012, 08:25 AM

Hey E I'll pass on the LP bracket but now that other's on here know about it I'm sure someone else will buy it from you. GLWS!

Hello, Any one around the DFW area have an extra 189 wheel ? It never fails, I got my care valet and i got curve rash of one of my wheels. thanks .

Made it out to MSR with Joe and Dan yesterday. I was held back a little by some oil cooling issues with my car, but I did manage to test out a new iPhone app I downloaded recently, Harry's Lap Timer Pro. The app has the ability to record video in addition to telemetry and combine them if you like, but I opted to just record the telemetry data with my phone and the video with my GoPro.

In order to combine the data from Harry's with an external video source, you have to either use DashWare or TrackVision. DashWare is much less expensive, so I went that route.

I put together a quick test video with a few of my laps from yesterday. DashWare is very easy to use. You just export the .csv from Harry's and import your GoPro video file and the .csv into DashWare. It took me a little to sync them up perfectly, but it's not hard to figure out.

All the gauges can be customized, or you can even create your own. It'll also let you render your video and export it in 720p at 60 fps, which is what I used here. I plan to go back and make a much better version of this video when I have some more time to work on it - it's pretty raw. Check it out in 720p if you can...
