Amazing run but don't be on the dimmerpost front page for falling off the cliff, crashing oncoming cars and burning alive... Be safe and save others on the roads...

Smoky may still knock on your door. All the evidence is there.

Get yourself on the track.

Syncing the video with the data was the hard part. Boost gauge was custom. I was able to figure it out by digging through their product support forums. Luckily I saved the template so it will be easy to replicate. Lastly, I used Movie Maker (free) to take the RaceRender files and turn them into a video with clips that jump around etc. All of this probably sounds intimidating, but really with decent planning, knowledge, "and no time constraints" you can figure it out in one night. Getting all of this dialed in before I went to the track was probably 25% of why I even made this video. In what I learned from that one night, if I were to do it all again I could probably do it in 2 hours.

Highway 84 is probably the best/longest driving road in my area so I decided Superbowl morning to head out and see if anything would break

The roads were a little wet, there were cyclists out, and it wasn't an actual track... so I didn't push it too hard. Overall car held up great and I'm very excited about the upcoming track days

Where are these roads? I assume both of you are in Cali?

Really sweet, but weren't you scared at any point of being caught by a cop? At no point were you doing anything reckless or dangerous, but getting caught going 100 mph on a main road seems like something that could royally screw you.

I always wish to do this on an empty back road but never end up going more than 15-20 mph over the speed limit due to fear of getting caught, so it's never a crazy enjoyable experience.
