We shot about 30 hours of video on 3 cameras, including the gopro fender cam and the lipstick "in car" cam, and should have the footage edited and up this week. I'll post a link as soon as its up.

Awesome! If you have any video of MotiV8r and it hits the cutting room floor I would love to have it. I didn't get a single shot or video over the weekend of it.

Hey Larry.. I have some stills coming your way...

[CurtiSS 69]

Here's a 29.3 second run in Bad Penny, - Mary driving.

This is James in the One Lap Camaro. This car is very close, just needs a tweak or two and it will fly.
After spending a couple of minutes under this car on the lift, I am truly amazed at how nice it is from top to bottom. This car could win trophys even flipped upside down!


If you want to have some fun, play both of these videos at the same time!

Mary is sooooooooooooooo Smooooooooooooth! I could watch that video all day.

Was that K-Wall as close as it looked to the course. It looked scary close on the far bend with that camera angle. That's something seeing cars of this caliber on course competing.

Thanks for the viewing tip of both at once. It really shows where time is lost. Super Kool!

Regards

Larry,
My camera ran out of memory by the time you ran. I think I got some stills with Mary's camera but no video.

[Larry Callahan]

No prob. I'll take anything you got for my photo album.

[James OLC]

Yeah... the concrete barriers were definately close enough to be on your mind - especially at the finish. There were a couple of close calls but nothing really dramatic (thankfully).

[David Pozzi]

Here's a new one of Mary in her Camaro. I didn't get her fastest run.

Okay Larry, here is your very first lap.

It's the only one I took, Sorry. I do have the two in car videos for you. I have to upload them and get them on here.

Whats the best way to do that?

For those people that haven't meet Larry, he is such a cool guy.

I really want to say THANK YOU so much for the rides.
I have always been in to drag racing but, after Saturdays auto cross meet, I'm HOOKED!

All the cars out there were awesome.

[James OLC]

Here are a couple of runs with the '67...

[Larry Callahan]

Cool clips. Nice to see the amount of front wheel travel too.

[Steve1968LS2]

[Larry Callahan]

Another cool angle!

[67 ls1 vert]

Hey Steve, it looks like the rear end is shifting left and right around the corners?

[Larry Callahan]

I think it might look that way due to the body roll and the camera stuck on the quarter panel? I think he has some footage shot of the rear end while the camera was stuck to the fuel tank. That will be cool to see.

[79-TA]

Yea, most of that is from the body roll. You can watch the sidewall deflect a bit too, which is pretty cool.

[67 ls1 vert]

I thought it was tire flex too but if you watch it closely you'll see the rim move side to side. It looks like.

[Steve1968LS2]

Hey Steve, it looks like the rear end is shifting left and right around the corners?

No, that's the sidewall deflecting.. I only had 28 lbs of air in the back tires. They didn't seem to be rolling over but the video makes it look like they were. Or it's an optical illusion.

In any event, I think I will try 35lbs rear next time.

I have some cool suspension video that I will be sending to Larry so he can flip it.

[Steve1968LS2]

I thought it was tire flex too but if you watch it closely you'll see the rim move side to side. It looks like.

Like I said, I have video under the car with the camera mounted to the fuel cell and pointed at the rear.. it doesn't move at all
