We started off on Monaco and I was pretty fast once again - 1.18s clear of the nearest competition. It was good enough for the #1 best time of the week! Actually they reset the times every Monday morning, so the fact that we were there at 5:30pm on Monday night made the best times pretty doable. Still it was fun to see my name on the top of the sheet.
On Le Mans, Greg bested me by 0.33s. We were also out there with someone warming up for league night and he posted a truly fast time that was almost a second faster than my best.
In terms of raw times, I was the fastest of the night among the four of us, which was fun again. I tried calculating compared to how people improved their times from our last trip out though, and by that score Greg had the best "adjusted" times (Colby as well, but he only ran on Monaco). As we get more trips recorded and a more established average, it'll be interesting to see how the "winner" each night moves around as everyone's time gets more based on just beating their own averages.
As far as the GoPro - I used a mount on the chin of my helmet in order to get more of a first person view than the top of the helmet. The outcome certainly seemed very first-person with my hands and arms practically coming from the sides of the camera view. With the camera angle a few inches below my eyes though, it was actually enough to make the steering wheel take up a ton of the camera view. The videos weren't a total loss since you spend so much time looking to either side of the steering wheel at approaching corners, but I could still see some other locations of helmet mounts working out better for karting.
