Do u have any movies on roadracing with FD's?
 

I'm interested in watching the FD in action on a racetrack. I dont want just clips, im talking about movies that are not amateur filmed.

^^^Bump

Yea lets see some vids!

Thunderhill
 

Re: Thunderhill
 

Oldie but a goodie! lets see some more!

oldie?

was that you Cossie? How'd you like T-hill backwards?

How long you been driving?

PauLC

its very good
I think one can go faster than normal config.
Due to more downhill sections. Turn 9-6, you can get alot of speed. Turns 5 is also a drop now, and 2-1 also allows for a big gain in speed going into the front straight

been driving tracks for about a year. 2 months with the FD.

Total events, about 10 or so

-f

I have a 14min mpeg at Watkins Glen, but it's 227mb. Anyone to host it?

yea i saw it over at some other forum like 2 months ago

Is it cool? :)

If so I can host it, but I'd prefer to change it to divx format. I could probably get it down by about 100 megs less if I change it.

Anyhow, you can hit me up on AIM at wcomisthedevil if you want to send it to me.

How can this be an oldie when I did the event on Feb 8th?
hee

heheh "oldie". Nice video!...I finally just found out why the hell there's so much damn wind noise; you guys drive with the windows down! I bet you would run a lot faster, especially on the straights with them rolled up...not to mention, make much better sound recordings for me ;) :D

You have to drive with the window down for point-by's...

what are point-by's?

Point-By:
Most track events allow passing mostly with the slower driver clearly indicating to a faster driver to overtake with a hand signal outside the window.

In Cossie's video, I do not see the silver M3 driver giving a point-by before Cossie passes him even though he did go off the racing line.

Cossie probably never gives a point-by...
he doesn't have a rear-view mirror.:p:

I have RSA's vid and some others on my ftp... I couldn't squash his down using divx because every time I did, the first couple minutes was jittery and then it would smooth out... so I just gave up for now :)

Brian

I dont usually see cars behind me....*ducks*

JUST KIDDING

I broke my mirror goofing aroudn with it

The M3 is a friend...he already told me he was going to point me by if I come close to him...:)

And like you said, he did go off line for me

wargasm,

What other cool vids you got? You got so many directories, but I don't want to download everything! :)

hehe

Downloading Glen.mpg, back in an hour or so :)

Mr. Stock,

Most groups I've run with have relaxed the rules on point bys, most encourage it but don't require it.

PaulC

You mean if and when I do a track event here in Cali, I won't get a tennis elbow giving out point-by's???:p:
Thank goodness!:cool:

When are you coming? We track year round...though I might be doing more mountain biking in the Summer

[hijack]I am already here. I have been here for the last 6 months. My car, on the other hand, is in NJ at my parents'. It is being picked up this week by Intercity to be transported to SoCal. Then it will be another month or so to sort out some issues I have with the car and then hopefully hit some tracks. [/hijack]

Hahahaha. I find that if you just drive crazy people will pull off the track and park. :p: I have always wanted to get one of those giant foam hands like you see at the basketball games and use that, but I have yet to figure out how to drive the car while wearing one!

SWEET
 

hOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE TRACK SOON.....

Great vid rsa. I've never been to the Glen-- it looks like a lot of fun, though there seems to be something to hit if you go off *anywhere* What event is the video from?

If I remember correctly , that one is from the Oct. PDA event. Yeah, it's a high speed track and nothing but blue Armco to stop you if you screw up. It's additive though, definitely my favorite track.

Cossie:

Would love to see the vid, but the right click and save target as produces an error, saying internet explorer cannot open it. Any suggestions anyone?

Sorry my friend took the video down..not enough space..

www.vagsport.com/shan/track/fdbw.avi

this is another one...

Sorry Cossie, but this gave me a Codec error and all I got was sound...........thanks for the try.

David

if u have icq or msn messenger,I can transfer the file to u

RSA what kind of exhaust setup do you have? I detected a faint rattling noise which reminds me of my friend's PFS catback. Great video, thanks for sharing.

-Chris C.

It's the Pettit exhaust. Not sure what that rattle is, but it does sound like it's exhaust related. Tyring to make the video smaller, I got it down to a 100mb .avi file and I'm still working on it. Thanks.

If anybody wants to get a copy of the video in the current size I'd be happy to send it via instant message (CCarlisi).
