Ha!
I have most of the videos cut up now. On the long end of the track the sun rendered the LCS viewfinder basically useless. So in the video I lost some of the cars. If somebody wants a video of their run in higher quality (most are under 5 megs) and in 640x480 and under 10 megs let me know and I will mail them a copy of the file.
Mad max has won the best impersonation of KITT award.....you'll see.......

The only ones that worked for me was;
Mikes 1st in car
Deans 1st atfer run showing time blip
Chris' 1st run
Bretts run
Everything else is coming up scrambled text.
From Mikes in car camera run,boy am I still way off on how the track layout was. I still found myself about to steer the wrong way on his video until I watched it the third time and had the course memorised. It helps tremendously to walk the course and memorize mental notes like "after the sweeper loopback its four gates of left side, right , left, right, then back on left for block cone jont section"/ Mental notes to self go sweep,left,right,left,right- left jont right, left, right, left/ right turn switchback (left across line). This represents two of the four sections of course needed to memorize. You can see how much easier if you walk the course and then mentally goover this in your head 30 times with your eyes closed before ever running.

Thanks George, I did finally get it correct on my last sketch.
I finally saw everyone's vidios today including my second and third runs. For some reason only the 4 links I posted above are working on my home computer but I was able to link them at one of the tiles store's T2 connection that I frequent.
Mike, You made a comment on my third run about me being kind of choppy and I have to agree with you- I was half the time. I have stated that I was guessing on about half the corners on exit as to which way I am to be pointed coming out of them. I was making many quick last minute corrections (yet trying to be smooth about it- but was lossing time in thoise mistakes).
If you watch my second and thrid runs compared to everyone elses, Coming out of that last cone jont I was really setting far to the right where everyone else come out left heading for the next gate. I lost a good 1 second just right there on each run from my mistake not walking the course. Its pretty clear on the video. I keep taking the blue line when I should be tighter on the yellow line. Consequently you see me tighten down and pinch the last gate where I drift through it with the *** end. (purple X)
My major mistake on the third run is the red circle. I damn near DNF'ed that run and missed the last gate, had to almost come to a stop to turn that car in the correct direction. I was very choppy and lost.
Its nice having the video's to critique the runs, "Thank you guys!" for doing that and taking the time to edit and post them.

James was giving me $hit non stop until he had a chance to review my in car footage. It wasn’t until then that he could really appreciate the improvisation after the chalk lines disappeared. It’s a shame we were stuck in line registering for so long otherwise we might have had a chance to walk the course like the others. I don’t think it would have changed the outcome any but it would have been nice to know what was next.

I would like to try your in car camara setup the next time everyone goes again(I Hope) How much hassle is it to mount in the car? Can it be done at the track?

As a matter of fact the only proof of my 12.32 pass in the Bunny we have is the in car footage in which you can hear the announcer state both my name and E.T. But I think we’ll keep that one tucked away until someone (other than Jerry) breaks my “existing” record.

At most, I have so-so experience launching even my Vette. That car is very tough and I have never driven it with drag slicks. It has always had a roadrace suspension setup. It is best to roll out and then nail it double clutching it about 15mph. With a 40lb flywheel and a powerband of 3200-8500rpms, its an impossible car to launch on street tires.
Speaking of races- I am off right now to Speedway up at City of Industry. Sidecar motrcycles are racing tinght. Starts at 7:30
