I'd host it, but it's gotta be less than 40mb, 200 is just too much

what's the duration of the video clip? maybe you can use lower bitrate encoding to bring down the size.

I will try to make it smaller, or break it up into segments. The whole race including the wreck and after shots of the car is about 20 minutes. I can just show you the wreck but it's nice to watch me start in 5th place and move up to 1st. I did get the 1st place trophy. It was the last lap of the race when I crashed and they put out the red flag, and they said with only one lap left that they wouldn't restart the race. so whoever was in 1st at the time they put out the red flag ,won. That was me!

You can upload it to my ftp

ftp.zeroglabs.com
username: rx7
password: rx7

Throw it in "uploads"

OR if you don't know how to use FTP, just catch me on AOL IM at "WCOMistheDevil" and I'll put it there.

Bruhman,
What track were you at when that happened?

The wreck looked nasty but the car was not in as bad of shape as I imagined it would of been in. It sounded like your wife/gf? thought you were dead. I am glad you are ok.

And who was the idiot that spun the CRX after you were out of the car? Was the course under a double yellow when he spun?

the track is no problem raceway in southern louisiana.
very bad looking crash. glad your ok brett.
can one of you pc nerds tell me how to get to that site for the download. i can't seem to get it to work.
thanks
robert
oh, the corner worker left his post to get to brett and when the crx came around the corner at about 100 mph he saw a corner worker running in the middle of the track and locked it up and slid to a stop to avoid the worker who was pretty close to being on the racing line.
so i feel he did a good job of not becoming part of the incident himself as that part of the corner is not real visible.

Does any1 know how to view the FTP with IE?

I'm not willing to download and install an FTP prog for just this file.

I know it's possible somehow with IE.
