2007 season finish with video's

Got in 9 auto-x events this year and finally both the car and I made it all the way for a change. Locally took 1st of 26 drivers in Street Touring S - best finish ever in 6 years.

Last event driving I got some better video's using my new setup. Using an Aiptek MPVR, Sony bulletcam, Chasecam suction mount, Cruisecam headrest mount.

great vids Brian. You got in 8 more events than I did, and next year won't be any better with the new kid on the way......

congrats on STS, that's a tough field! That is an amazing lack of body roll, for sure...

impressive finish Bejay, i got in 14 events in this year with one 1st place in DSP, when the bimmer on 265s wasn't there

Looks like you were getting some understeer towards the end of the in car video, maybe just overdriving

Thanks all. Yep, that in-car run I carried too much speed and wasn't setup for the left hander. Plowed that cone real good. Thinking of taking next year off again and co-drive some other rides just to keep in touch with the community & all.

Nice videos! I was really enjoying them considering that the last time I went was in July.

Didn't have much time this season either - only 2 events.

Nice videos. Noticed you mention Barry Chafin on your site, where do you know him from? I actually just got out to my first event in about 2 years. Wasn't driving my car, but another org'ers AE, it was great to be back in the saddle again.

Barry's project Sneaky was my inspiration that a Maxima could compete. He gave it up but provided most of my starting points on setup. He and I would write each other all the time.

That is cool. He was the first person I met when I rolled out to my first event. He was excited to see another max out in the SFR region. He helped me alot with my car setup, I still have a set of project Sneaky's race rims in my garage. Great guy, great driver, too bad he moved on to miatas.
