hell, im going to blame the mac.

Have you ever noticed how many mac techs there are? I know a crap ton of people in my profession... most are, like myself, MCSE certified.... I have yet to meet anyone that actualy even claims they know how to turn a mac on.

I will try and make a quicktime mov for you.

First you turn the lights down low, then you talk dirty to it

"the damn" ?

sorry for the shameless plugs for my site btw

but, a lot of the credit goes to my cousin for the video. I take all the credit for the editing though.

I hope everyone likes my "autocross" style titles.

when we get the results posted on er's site, i will go back and edit them again.

Also, I will put the final videos on one DVD and bring some copies to the next event.

This was my first autocross, and I had trouble getting on course. Was this setup particularly confusing, or one of the easier tracks?

I had the track in my head, but once your out there and all you see are orange cones, it's quite a different story. I was in the black rx-8, if you remember.

yeah, I'd like to see it for the first time... :D


the course wasn't one of the most complicated (I think one at Hollywood was really bad) but it wasn't too clear either (Though it may have been the migraine and medication )

John, Greg posted every run you did in your clip bro. Just look at the filenames and find your car number :D (It's the last clip he linked).

Slalom29: This tarck was a little tricky, but much longer than normal. Also a lot of people didnt pay too much attention to the track when they walked it. When you walk the track, you need to start telling yourself the full layout as you walk it. Afterwards you need to be able to close your eyes and see the entire track in your head. Also something that helps tremendously is as your driving the track, repeat it to yourself again. For example, this one, as I start off, am telling myself.. "Start and a sharp left turn. Go through the crossroad and get ready for a left, then move farther left for the next gate. Left turn at the next gate. Haul *** to the next sweeping left. Get ready for sharp left turn, then right sweeping decreasing radius turn. Go through crossroad again. Turn left, turn left, enter slalom on right hand side. Your done!"

lou: We love ya anyways meng.

He didn't put all 3 runs in the clip. There's 3 runs, but he copied the second run, instead of posting my 3rd. That's why I asked for the 3rd run with the spinout.

I am not sure what codec i used for this.... i think standard mpeg, so if you cant view please let me know.

This is all the video that was shot for the day compiled into one. I tried making a high quality DVD, but for some reason Ulead is making crap that crashes all of the players i have used.
