I finally got my lap video uploaded on Youtube, so here it is. I had never been on the track before, or even played it in video games, so my four laps where a blast! :D

Here's my last lap in two parts, about 5 min each:

I watched every last second. Looks like a blast!!!!

Couple of questions for you:

How long did it take to get there from here?
How did you mount your camera and what type is it?
Did you have to wear the helmet?
Was that a freakin" ADAC truck?

I think it took about 1.5 hours to get there from K-town. I had the camera mounted on a tripod strapped in behind my seat, but the camera's are actually illegal on track; I got lucky :) I didn't read all the rules and they never saw the camera.

The helmet isn't required, but the track isn't very forgiving, so I'm going to wear one. Yea, that is an ADAC truck; I think they own stock in the 'ring, lol. You'll see everything driving out there too, even tour buses sometimes!

I thought they were. Is it just a regular handheld digital? It turned out really well.

It's a hand held 8mm recorder, I borrowed it from one of the guys in the club.

I guess any lap that you do without getting racing stripes or worth is a good lap ;)
