I had an absolute blast this weekend. Going 2-wide with Frank for two full laps during R3 was the best time of the weekend. Once I saw that Michael was "back there" and trying to checkout from the CMC-2 guys, I knew it was time to do the "single file" game and bring the pace up.

Thankfully I think my tie-rod issues are finally behind me, as I was using the curbing this weekend and had zero worries of a failure.

Everything on the car ran flawlessly. I really felt like it was a "plant the gas steer" situation.

On a side note, I ran 888's on Friday and all I can say is WOW, it's amazing how much better RA1's are in the same tread depth and realitive age... The 888 was Toyo's biggest mistake IMHO...

Thanks again to everyone for a great weekend. See everyone at TWS in 7 weeks!!!

I can vouch from the sideline on that. Marshall's car looked glued to the ground through Big Bend. Looked like a lot of good racing.

You guys were the stars of the show for the standing start on R3. By far the most people of the weeekend stopped and watched that one.

[cobra132]

Another great weekend get-away. Thanks to Ed and Randy for helping me track down my charging issue. Fun running with all the guys. While I had nothing for Marshall this weekend, I was pretty happy with myself given the new brake set-up on a relatively new, very technical track. Had a good time cooking with Randy and Brian and helping to feed the hord. The phrase "sock it to me" has new meaning. Look forward to TWS. FMR

Man,
The CMC-2 racing was AWESOME!!! You guys rock...

[stevecmc8]

Thanks for posting my videos, Mitch. I had a great weekend. Racing is the most amazing rush! I think I did great because I had my girl posse there watching me....couldn't look bad for my women. The inverted races were totally awesome....being able to run with the fast guys. I was racing on full tread Toyos, and it wasn't bad. Looking forward to TWS.

[AllZWay]

I didn't catch R1, but it was just the rear of Glenn's car anyone. :roll:

But here is R2....

James,

I have watched this ten times now. At 3:58 3:59 or so this is where I thought you pushed me off the track. If I had stayed on track I'm sure we would have hit. I jumped the curb. Your front end pushed and you went from the far right side of the track to the far left side in one second. I have an open mind on this. Am I looking at it wrong?

JJ

[BryanL]

Anyone else having issues with these on vimeo? Reminds me of trying to watch scrambled skinamax :lol:

[GlennCMC70]

I saw the same thing Jerry.

[ShadowBolt]

I saw the same thing Jerry.


After look at it ten more times I think I see what happened. James had to hit the brakes to keep from hitting Dan in the rear and I got hosed when his car pushed to the left. Would not be so bad but when I ask James about it he did not even remember seeing me on the track. I don't understand that.

I really don't think we were ever that close... or at least I don't remember being that close and from the videos I have seen you can't really tell.

Sorry Jerry if you felt I pushed you out of the way...certainly not my intention and until I watched the video I had no idea where I had gotten by you at.

I am real cheap... I downloaded the free version of Any Video Converter which will convert it to a .wmv then edit it with just Microsoft movie maker.

[y5e06]

Hey Eddie! just a friendly point-out. I see the pin still in your fire-system handle. might want to pull that before heading out on track! (the pin, not the handle)
I've left the pin in myself before too...

The vids from Steve's car were shot on a Flip.

I installed Flipshare and exported to a local disc and then used Aura Converter (freeware) to convert to 720x480 @ 30fps WMV.

Good call! Now that you mention it, I forgot to pull the small pin on the other end too. :oops:

I'll add that to my pre-grid checklist.

[Casey_SS]

I attached my ignition key to the pin for the fire handle. Can't start the car without yanking the pin. Just a thought 8)

Here are some still pics I got from the sidelines. I brought 900 items to the track, unfortunately item 901 was the zoom lens :? so I apologize for any eye strain these cause.

The wife will be at the track with me at TWS so I will get her to get some good shots of you guys there hopefully.

Fun battle with Wiley in Race 1....camera died mid-way through but we ended up making it two wide through Richochet without incident, swapped positions and kept at it. Eventually some traffic got between us but it was a hell of a fun race that seemed to last forever.

I'll get my other videos edited down & posted soon. Caught a lot of good stuff going on in front of me and had a great battle with Jeremy near the end of race 4.

Are you able to sync and reassign time code in your editor software?

In the past I have found a common point and zeroed all time code at that point. And then in the hours of the time code, I manually insert the car number.

In Premeire Pro its called rerender or redigitize or something ike that.

Allows to keep track of where in the race everyone is and the car I'm using at the time.

Do you know how hard it is to fig out 11 camera's and... One of the things I like about Vegas Pro is just that:

MulticamEdit multicamera productions intuitively and quickly by specifying shots as you watch your project. Switch between as many as 32 video sources with a keyboard command or a click of your mouse. Vegas Pro 10 software keeps all unused shots — expand a multicamera track into component events to make it easier to see which videos are in the Vegas project and refine the edit.

It really needs a good sized monitor once you get over 6 or 8... once you sync them up, you can see small previews of all of them at once and just "call" them director style...

"Go 8"
In 3 gimme 11... 3,2,1... now"

At MSRH, Mulder was able to use his Flip software on his PC and export from that program to a usable, non-Flip file format. We chose .mp4 and it worked easily.

And it still didn't work in Adobe Premeire after that.

But, I downloaded a program called Aura Converter and it converted to WMV quickly and with out any drama.

It took the 1.2G Flip original and compressed it to under 100M and maintained audio sync!

Yep I know 2 1/2 is a killer but we did get done by 10:00 clock, We have a couple of guys from Oklahoma that drive down to race with the Sprint Series of Texas, SST will be a Devils Bowl this year I know it is not closer but its one hell of a track to race at, and it will be another first time track for me also as well as most of all the road racing tracks LoL
