2006 Fall Midwest Rotary BBQ Video

Don't know how many of you get to the Audio/Visual forum, so here you go. It is not all first gens, but most of them are and the event was put on by first gen owners Adam "Midwest 7's" and Alex "Alex7".

As soon as my tires broke loose, it pegged at 8k, then I backed off to 5-6k.

Yay I'm on the credits!!! For those of you who happened to possibly notice, my car died while doing my burnout in 2nd gear. That day was definitley one of the most fun days I have had freezing my *** off. Next time, warmer weather is PROMISED and hopefully less rain. Also, Alex-7 is promised another ride in my car, and anyone else who is there that wants one. More people should go to the next one.

OK...I'm an old fart...I don't get it. I have too much respect for my cars and the time and money I've put into them. But I'm glad everyone had a good time.

Rich, I'm an old one too, my youngest will be 26 in Dec. For me it's not the respect factor, it's the I built it, I break it, I fix it and make it better factor.

I was disappointed in my burnout because the carb was loading up so badly the engine was partially bogging. You can hear it when I shift into 2nd. My linelock didn't hold as long as I was hoping it would, otherwise I would have had a much longer burnout.

Can some one put this on putfile or youtube, something that isn't such a PITA to use?

EDIT: Never mind, I finally got it to work.
