I am unable to get the .wmv video's to work for me but I was wondering if there were any action vids of my traction problems. Anybody get any photo's of it? Going to visit my brother next week and wanted to show him.
Thanks

I think Rob has some video of you going down the track.

Check his post about videos.

That might not be a bad idea since I probably will never get to view the existing video's. Start from the top...... [Smile]

Well as I am sitting in the bleachers at the end of the track eating my jumbo hot dog watching my buddy pull wheelies on his little Honda Fifty I turn quickly towards the track. I see the distinct fox body parking lights start coming towards me really quickly. I grab a drink of my ice cold coke mean while noticing the fat scoop for the intercooler under the front bumper pointed right at me realizing who it was

I look at my buddy sitting next to me and say: Jumbo hot dog $3.50, Large Coke $2.50, seeing John91Coupe sideways at 100mph, Priceless [Big Grin]

If anybody gets me a VHS or 8mm tape I can convert them into high-quality 30 fp/sec 1.5 mb/sec MPEG-1 or higher if you're willing to deal with larger files.
(I can do mpeg-II if you want DVD quality, basically shows you the quality of the camera it was shot from but *major* file sizes, like 15 mb/sec)

Mike,

No, I don't but was hoping someone would have it....maybe not. Thanks for checking yours out though. Just might have to savor the description from 91sleeper.

OMG Mike, why didn't I think of that? Uh, just remembered, I will be in PA during that week.

LOL! There must be a simplier and more safe way to do this. Maybe Rob's CD will work out.

Thanks again...
