As a little extra gift for my daughter’s 21st birthday I got Veronica an hour with a professional racer car instructor at the Firebird International raceway in Chandler, AZ. She got to drive 3 laps at any speed she liked in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.

I couldn’t get a top speed off the film footage and she didn’t look down to check either. But it must have been fast enough because the instructor was a bit shaken at the end.  I don’t think he was ready for a girl to drive the Lambo at such speeds. She was the only driver to be allowed out on the raceway without a lead pace car so I’m thinking they really had no expectation she could push that sports car to its limits. She drove great and made the place sound like a real race track on race day for all 3 laps. What an amazing sounding car when it is being pushed.

If you’re in the area you can setup your own race day at: Global Exotic Car Rentals www.globalexoticcarrentals.com or Call 480-719-7377

I cut a video together of the event and tried to keep the footage in real time between two cameras. But I did cut in 3 time repeats for the big straight away down the back of the track just for the added enjoyment.

The presentation for February 2013 was titled:   APRS and GPS Networking, Operations and Theory   Presented by Steve Bowen N7CPU

This presentation does not cover how to setup and use Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) but does get into its origins, limits, functionality and usage.
