Yep I am weird but NOT DANDEROUS!
Taking my car to the track is purposely abusing it against the above principle, I treasure it. Some folks wear their new shoes all the time and say that is what I bought them for. My shoes sit in the corner until a special occasion. I do not polish my shoes and not walk in them to have satisfaction but I will polish my car and not drive it and get complete satisfaction from it (I am not crazy enough to do it to my shoes, lol).
I will my car to the track again but I need to know it will perform perfect and want to beat everyones best time. That is a goal I have (It may never happen). I am very competitive, racing is secondary though. I just know the car is not there yet and do not see the need to beat it up trying something that is not ready for...yet.
I have two more pieces of a puzzle to complete then I will be ready for the track, but they are not on the quick list. The other part of my story...
When I was in High School me and my friends talked endlessly about "The Beast Within" a car we wanted to build that looked pretty much stock on the outside like a COPO Camaro but had huge ***** in it and the engine was amazing. I am not by any means there but I am loving maybe having this dream come true. At times I want to call my friends in Ohio to let them know, just have not talked to them in 20years, so no point.
Crap there I go again, need to shut up!!!

Nice vid man.
Can you convert analog to digital? I used to have a video capture card but it only works with Win98 and older. My new machine is XP so the software doesn't work for me anymore.

Cool video Josh! I would only suggest getting on the control tower side to catch the left front tires coming off the ground on Jason & Ryan's cars.
I think we need to get some moderator to change rookies nick name to Capt Video. All those in favor? And then we need to make that burnout video. Before I get new tires!!! I'll work on a place.

and my dad was on the tower side and if he goes next time I'll make sure he zooms in ok and we'll have a tripod for the camera. Plus he'll zoom in on the times. Afterwards I noticed he didn't zoom in on the times and he wishes he had but I told him no worries
he still did a good job. When I get my own camcorder I'll see about mounting it in the car for in car runs too.argh looks like the servers down

nm it's back up... I really need to get cable so I can just host it at my place. the 128kbps upload speed of my DSL just wouldn't cut it. (just to reference... since I put the video up yesterday around 1-2pm PST as of 1am PST it had 193 hits and 466,619KB of bandwidth transferred.) So far for the month of march I've had 1,302,376KB transferred from SCCoW.com lol... I need more money so I can just have my own pipeline.

Capt video i like it
i will have to get a cage mount for that one, but it would be bad ***.And yhea steave you can learn alot from the vids, when i am in the car i am concentrating so much on driving that it's hard to tell what the car is doing, thats why fraser is so helpfull.
i would recomend getting on the far side of the stands by were you turn off the track back to the parking lot, it would probely be the best vantage point.
