More Racing and Autocross videos up!!!!

OK I got my own site for hosting. (!)

The files are large, but you can see what is happening!!! It makes the autocross way better IMO.

BTW my personal fav is the American AX run. Talk about screeching tires lol!!

TMPGEnc and DivX are your friends.

It'll reduce those files sizes to a quarter of what they are now if you tweak enough.

wow!! those are some nice videos! i was DLIng 174kb/sec all 5 at the same time!

anyway here's some stuff i observed:

on the 3rd video during the middle of the race, howcome you didn't downshift at some of corners? (maybe i'm wrong cuz i can't really see the tacho, so was judging base on ur stealing exhaust)

on the 4th video...GOOD JOB!! i wish i was that kid with the red helmet watchin you driving...

on the last video...good job following that cobra and taking all the best routes available










hehe...i bet the altezzas are giving you that extra 50WHP j/k

If you want to see some funny stuff check out the "Mistakes" folder...

1) Dusty- Speaks for itself. The corkscrew is a 40 MPH turn, period!

2) Halfspin - What happens when you try trail-braking for some oversteer on an off- camber turn. Not advisable.

3) Rude Pass - Well, again, speaks for itself...

I know Im gonna get clowned for these but I dont care. Considering ive spend hours and hours going damn close to the limit 2 "offs" are really not that bad IMO.

Aftermarket parts, like y-pipe, catback, rims, flywheel, and possibly shorter springs? Also I weighed it almost empty on gas and no spare tire/ trunk cardboard or rug. the 96 is a very light sedan to start with- 3001 lbs.

Agreed!! When I saw the wall headin my way it was like, "avoid at all costs!"
I think one was some kinda honda - it was fast... the other was a dodge stealth I think. Driver was not pushing it much.
