I caught you on camaraderie doing it, but you can't make it out

Next time I want to try setting up two go pros on my car. One facing forward and the other backward. This is the first time I made a real video and now that I've edited I have tons more ideas to get better shots that will help in editing. If it seems like my second race with the truck was cut short it was because there was nothing to see except for Mexicos finest corn fields.

Yep you said it. I like the fact that it surprises people on how well the 4 door grocery getter moves out from a dig. I pissed off a 5th gen SS owner the other day as I moved out so quick and he gave up after spinning through the light. It makes for a perfect off the light dig car because no rwd/fwd cars have a chance to warm up the tires typically. I can't wait to run again once he gets dialed in a bit better.

Hugger, do you have that video from inside the truck? You want to upload that to youtube and post it here. The copy you sent me via email was really awful looking(compressed).

I'm down, always looking for a good run. I may be available this sunday. I won't have the gopro on saturday and I'm fairly busy. How far are you fromthe plainfield area?

Edit: On one condition. You are willing to talk shop on your turbo build

Nice runs!

The Z06 showed no mercy to that poor Camaro. Ouch!
