Film tools makes the camera mount. Works great check it out. Most of the drift teams use the same one.

Lol ya that was at mount Asctuney. I was the bug killer. Whoever worked on the car last decided that venting the valve cover was not important so they plugged all the holes. Which I didn't know until I got to Ascutney. Problem has been fixed now though. No more bug killing for me. On another note though made for some sick pictures. Totally looked like I drifted every corner.

Hey whats up man! It was nice meeting you the other day! Get some new tires on that bad boy and give it a run up the hill! But no I didn't have the headlight covers on when you saw it. I only put them on when I am at the track. My headlights are terrible as it is. Ten times worse with the covers on them.

And thanks to everyone that gave me props on the car and the video. A ton more then I expected. I will update it soon with some more video's and pictures once I get them all together.

Was my second run of the day. I think I did that one in 2 mins 43 seconds. My fastest was 2 minutes 38 seconds. Hill climb is unique in that sense. One guy there said it best push hardier then 95% and there is a 99% chance you will be in the woods or off a cliff. I will take 90% and drive home every day over this other option any day. Video from one of the guys that was there. He crashed a few years back doing this.
