Gagan did you ever get video from the last event? My cam-fx kit hasn't come in yet and I wanted to see what I was in store for haha

 

Yeah I got them, but I lost sound eventually, and I didn't charge the unit enough or test it out enough, so I was UBER n00b using it on sunday, lol.

I'll try to have them up in a bit

 

Guess I forgot to post it over here, but here is my video from last Sunday :

and here is Chloe's video, same car, dork in passenger seat (me) giving verbal instructions :

Used the Aiptek A-HD as a video recorder for the Chasecam (Standard-Deg) camera, mic taped to pass side floorboard. Better camera width/angle and better sound, but obviously not near the pixels or color depth, compared to using the A-HD directly ($130 camcorder, 720p HD video)

BTW, think we have enough for setup (counting you, Kevin). See y'all too dang early on Sunday morning

 

Alrighty, I'll be there early Sunday morning.

Wow... I am watching these videos and you guys are taking a really close line to the cones on the first half of the course. I think I just when a little wide... and it was bye... bye... bye...

 

I didn't use my camera right. the video doesn't look right, the audio is missing and i didn't charge it enough. I'll just have to try again this next weekend i guess.

 

mothers day.... :-(

 

you can bring your mom too

 

FWIW, at "traction challenged" sites where a definite line develops due to gravel etc, the "line" almost always ends up being surprisingly tight. On Sunday, in the skidpad circle there was some line choice but beyond that the real line wasn't THAT much wider than a car.

So if you're driving in the afternoon, get out for your course walk ahead of the blower and see where the gravel piles are at...drive appropriately

Oakland now tends to be pretty good (finally!), so you do get some more line choice.

 

Pre-event bump. Anyone else not have mother duty?

 

haha i do im just gonna lessen the blwo by leaving a small gift inthe mornign before i leave haha
