Pics n vids n stuff

I didn't take my camera to the sprints on Saturday, so I didn't take any pictures. A shame, next time I won't forget it.

I had my video camera instead, but I found that it was too big and unwieldy to carry around with me, so most of the cool stuff I missed. So the only photos I have were taken by Psycho's dad (thanks!)

I decided to upload that video of my lap on youtube afterall, by the way. That's what a boring afternoon will do to you, I guess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNpYnE5ui4I

I have a feeling I know where I'm losing a lot of time...I can be a bit braver in the first two corners, then brake harder into the first chicane. And if I completely change my line through the final chicane and hairpin, I think I can salvage a bit more.

But before then, I'll need new brakepads. They're really very worn. Unfortunately BSM Motorsport hasn't come back to me yet about a price for the Ferodos, so I guess I'll have to wait.

And there's one more thing: I recently bought a used K&N Apollo closed air filter. It looks in good condition, but I haven't put it in yet - the reason being that I'm not sure anymore whether I should. As far as I could establish there wouldn't be any power gains, just a slightly different sound. Maybe I'd be better off just putting in a Green cotton filter into the standard airbox. I paid just $100 for the thing, so it's a manageable loss.

But that can wait. Brake Pads first, then I may have to get myself a helmet.
