i had three cameras rolling on most of my runs.... here's my video of that event i was talking about, some in car, some out... i had a buddy filming from the other side of the course during the freestyle and got some really great footage, he hasn't uploaded it yet... maybe i'll go around the block and kick his A$$ into gear...

as dave or USMCdrifter suggested, i need to get a REAL camera mount, or two, one out of the car, and one in the car aimed at my pedals and steering wheel... so i can study my "game footage" after events.... it was my first event and even though i spent the better part spinning out, not drifting, i got a few good slides in and learned A LOT about myself, and the capabilities of my car... the welded diff worked wonders as well...

Well, you feel like you've accomplished something, it's a really good feeling.

Especially when you're in a Bullitt and the 240 guys are like "oh there's no way"

HAHAHAHAHA! Score!

Actually, I had that Option video before SOMEONE'S BIG BROTHER DECIDED TO THROW ALL OF THEM AWAY!!!!!!

I think that guy means to do that, if you watch the Option vid, he does it a bunch of times on different parts of that road.

360s are DIFFICULT, the only two drivers I've met that can do them (on purpose) are Sam Hubinnette and Mike Peters.
