infineon/sears pt videos w/ course overlay?

i'll be hitting infineon for the first time next month and would love some web links to videos that have the course overlay (eg trackvision like the one Jason S posted at http://www.alternaterealities.info/video/cars/Thunderhill_2006_05_05__fl4.wmv). thanks!

Here's one of mine with the trackvision map overlay. It's from nearly 3 years ago when the Turn 1 bridge was being rebuilt, however. All other landmarks should be about the same.

Hope this helps more than it hurts.

While it does not have the course overlay, I have an instructional DVD for driving Infineon that Dean Thomas made. The camera left a lttle to be desired (a lot of dropped frames) but the video is good to learn the track from, especially when coupled to Hank Watts' written description. If you email me (tomllama@comcast.net), I can make a copy and send it.

Click here for a quick Sears Point lap

Well, this doesn't have any data or map overlays. But it might be helpful.

This clip impresses me, and I'll tell you why. It's my car's first-ever visit to Sears Point. The car is a 100-pounds-heavier-than-stock air-conditioned 911 with air-conditioning. It's running on BFGoodrich street tires (NOT R Compunds) with three events on them. The first two sessions had pouring rain. This is a 1:54 from the third session. Simply amazing for a 250-hp car. In the last session, got down to a 1:52.6.

One important thing though: it wasn't me driving.

It was my co-driver for the Open Track Challenge, Tyson Schmidt. Neither of us had ever been to Sears before, so he won the toss to learn it in a hurry. He did a great job. I went to Sears last year and wasn't able to match his time in the same car. (In fact, I crashed trying.)
