Some people just post diarrhea of the mouth with out thinking....oh wait....
That first post is def funny. I hope he wasn't serious.

I dont plan to record. Its so boring to watch! Its great you're recording, but I think a wider angle to see what you're doing is more interesting than just seeing the road ahead.

thanks for the link Ryan. I sent jeff an email with my credentials. I also told him anything Thai says will be a total fabrication and/or talking about his GT5 experience. good luck sucka!

seriously though, I think me, Thai and Tim would be great canidates since we all have a bunch of events coming up and we're all very familiar with how our current setups perfrom. If any of you fools want to vouch for me/us I'm not stopping you.
Thats where my brother works!

Thats just how these videos are... boring. Its a shame really, cause in the car when you're driving its the most exciting thing on the plant. you're at the limit of traction, fighting to keep the car going in the direction you want, but that never translates to video unless you do some really good editing and have several cameras going at the same time to get different angles.

^^^Exactly. It's hard to show the excitement that is felt by the driver. You dont really hear the tires scream, your engine reving up top, or feel the movement of the car. Unless you were actually racing and showing in-car footage of a close chase for position, its really really boring to watch.

I don't find track videos nearly as boring now that I know what it's like.

I was watching lightning videos with Robert last weekend. (You know, because I know so much about lightning). And you really can't appreciate the elevation changes on video. I think he's in for a surprise when he sees how blind turn 5 is (unless I'm exagerrating it in my head).

Even little changes in elevation on the track look flat on video like the downhill braking zone going into turn 7 and then through the lightbulb.

Watching all you guy at shanadoah, you can really see the elevation changes on the video. It must be a little intimidating the first time out there.

it's even more intimidating in the wet when you cant see the track because of the smokescreen in front of you.

Don't be asking if you ain't even going son!

I'm definitely going, for several reasons. 1, I promised Robert and James we were going to dominate this event. 2, I have a Toxic Fab shirt with my name on it. 3, my friend is selling his GT-R to AMS, so he needs a ride home. 4, James and I plan to do a cover of MC Marky Marc's latest single!

Some of the blind crest were a little intimidating at first (first couple laps), but over all I didn't think the track was as scary as I thought it was going to be. I'll def be going back next year.
