    Okay...here goes a few vids of my car. The 1st one was taken at the dragstrip by my niece using my digital camera. I ran a 7.09 on this pass.


    The next one was in March 2009 when we had ArmDrop Live with Rich Christiansen. I made it to the finals but was eliminated in the 1st round. Here I am getting armdropped by Rich. I was the slowest car in the entire class and it shows. I ran a quick time of 6.97 and was facing a guy running 6.80. I blew this one on the line trying too hard. Kinda got psyched out since I knew I was slower. Still not bad considering I had the only street car in that mix. Every other car was all out race cars with slicks/roll cages.

    No thank you. Remember that video from when I first started posting here. I think about half a second of that 12.99 run is those lightning fast shifts. I love that big CRUNCH sound on the launch. Makes you cringe and laugh at the same time.(y)

    Revised Comet vid

    Sheesh!... these video editors are quirky.

    Still fartin' around with Pinnacle Studio since it seems to be the best...

    This is a variation on my first clip. Still can't find the correct firewire cable for my cam corder...




    Now I'm hopin' for a little more sun and another week or two before the leaves drop so I can make a proper "Sunday Drive" movie that doesn't look like it was done in Winter.... :drive:
