Yeah, there are quite a few Columbus people on this site. It's just that most of them either never post or don't know about this thread. I know of at least five more Columbus guys that have yet to post in here, lol.
I uploaded 2 versions of videos of my Z06 from a week or so ago, lemme know what you think - 1080p and then a regular 720p.
Threw in a couple of stop motion / 5fps scenes and some HDR's from the Nikon as well. The Stickypod mount held a Sony HD camcorder and was mounted on the front bumper / passenger side.

I went out last night but I only stayed for about 45 min. I was on the other side of the parking lot near the white Supra. I heard about the race too. Sooooo..........Who won?
Hey guys, I have been watching the posts on the site and finally got out to meet some of you at the park. I was driving the 1968 truck with the 6.0. I was really glad to meet some other people who keep fuel injection instead of swapping to a carb. I just got the truck running and had a wierd problem cut my night short. Everyone was really nice and all had nice rides too. (Really impressed with the IROC!) Look forward to doing it again.
hey there 68lsx. i apologize for us running off lastnight. broke my clutch so just headed on home since i was pointed that way anyway. swapped them out today and have it back on the road though. i apologize for not remembering your name too. im really bad with them at first, but once i get to know you, you will only wish id forget again!! lol really like your truck man. thing sounds good. get a nice air intake setup and youll be runnin awsome!!

Yeah, there are a few things to be done still. When i was behind everybody watching the action, it sounded like a rock flew up and hit the truck. We weren't sure what happened but when I slowed down there was a god awful "slapping" noise coming from under the hood. We pulled over and checked, and found the belt tensioner jumping and what appeared to be destroyed bearings in the A/C clutch. Limped it back to get my buddie's truck and went to get my Z71 and trailer to haul it home. I pulled the belt when I got home and the A/C compressor is fine. I checked everything else, including the belt and found nothing wrong. I put the belt back on, started it up and everything was fine. Only thing I can figure is that whatever bounced up lodged something in the belt grooves. It probably sounded like the A/C compressor because of the longer high mount amplifying the noise.
But my biggest problem is with the transmission. We jumped up beside the red car and squared off from probably 50mph. We were dead even through second gear, but when my transmission "slid" into third, he pulled a fender and we both had to let out. I knew something was wrong and checked my line pressure today, and it maxes at 70psi. (Way too low) I hope it didn't smoke the high gear clutches. I suspect a bad epc solenoid. I will keep you posted.
