I also started out in 2nd gear (hence the guffaws at the end). I thought he was going to do it more as a sighting lap kind of thing which is why I took it easy. That and I barely knew where the first timing light was. Did you like that little spin entry at the end of the last slalom?

The slaloms were fun. There was a *ton* of debate over which side to enter on. That's another difference from my past experience with the Hoosier club, *every* standalone cone (ie. one that wasn't part of a grouping of two or more) had another lying down telling you which side to pass it on. Here, the slalom entrances were left up to driver discretion, and you had to count back from the exit cone to figure out which side to enter on. Much more mental. The 3rd slalom basically turned into a one-cone dodge, since one marked the entrance and the other the exit.

It's a ton of fun, Ben, and cheap!

Thanks for the encoding tips, Josh. You're using H.264, too?
