Carson, let the Vicky fly on those twisting roads of Mexico! I really enjoyed that first part of Laurens blog. She's telling the truth and nothing but the truth Wink

. I wish you good luck and highest position on the podium.

About the GoPro camera... there is two options to choose for audio. Sensitive and not so sensitive for applications with loud noises. Sensitive should be ok inside the car but not outside thus the wind.

As all stated, good luck, be safe, and go like a bat out of hell!

I read the story of Curtis Turner taking Bill France

As a copilot when they were still buddies, I think 57 but may have been 56 in a Y block no dought, I think Bill would have worn Depends if they were invented at the time.

You don't scare Your daughter to justify the need of them I hope!

Carson is still going strong and has been on the podium several times in six days. They sure have had some issues during the race, but also been on the road all the time is good. Lot's of wrecks beside the roads of Mexico, though... Wink

. Keep on going Carson, Giddy up! Laurens plog is great!
