Ryans in car videos are really cool. Especially this one.

You said the sound came out great (well it doesnt sound that good cause its in FLASH video mode there) but you got a loud car too, that helps!

He actually used my camera with mount. Its a suction cup mount. And I inverse the video with Adobe Premiere and it comes out real nice.

With a Fisheye Lense on it. I'm SOOOOOOOO Pissed I ordered a fishey lense for my digital SLR camera, it didnt come.... and its been 16 days!!!! They said they shipped Wednesday UPS, and I paid $28 for it! I can't wait to see it come UPS and it has a $4.00 tag on it. Im gonna be so pissed.

I got more vids and better pics on the way but I was watchin Nascar and out playin hockey with Ryan in like 100 degree humitity.

Yea i defintly went up and checked ur car out, i didnt know thaat was you...so what were these goals you speak of? I was happy with 6 runs, cause im used to 3-4 at Atco and Englishtown, i gotta admit there were a couple Lt1's there that needed a tune up bad, like the black formula and white T/a with primer hood..they just were not up to par.

^^ VIdeo is priceless, i was so pissed when i jump'd the light by -.003 in the first round,I caught the light out the corner of my eye and just yelled "f**k" next thing ya kno i saw the other guy jumped aswell so i wasnt so pissed, but i got eliminated by those damn automatics nontheless


And Defintly Props to Greatsave9 for hookin me up with some "camera stuff"

Search around for a "Peleng 8mm" its a manual only lense but its the cheapest thing VS $900 ones.

I use to play ice but only sometimes now. And I play down in Broomall at Marple Sports Arena for a league with bunch of Temple guys and soon for Temple's roller team.

I'm still working on the pics, takin a bit, I go through each one individually usually.

Also props to Bow94z and 97TransAm for not killing me when we took that "fun" scenic road!
Just remember Ron.... Ryan was all about that road and he 2nd the idea. Personally I was against it....





Other than that, it was smooth sailing on real nice open roads.

Re: Bucks County caravan to F-Body Nats...

Bahahahaha... it was all part of the great adventure of the day. I'm glad we took it in as it gives us something to laugh about for quite awhile. Plus we can use it as an "initiation" road when we get a newbie with us going to Island Dragway. I'm just sorry that I had to wuss out because of having the DR's mounted and got concern that they wouldn't handle "more fun". Next time I'll leave the street tires on...

Maybe we can get that in for next years F-bod Nats; Car show, drag racing and off-roading. Hint: don't try off-roading then attempt the car showing. Bahahahahaha.



And what about those "birds" in the road? One actually started coming at my passenger front end to attack!!!

Re: Bucks County caravan to F-Body Nats...

Sure, Nice. I go through all the trouble of being super careful not to scratch, smudge or even drip any of my blood on the 97TA during the cam install, and the first chance you get you go 4 ( ur 2 ) wheeling! Dang kids!

So were the words "short cut" and "Trust me" used when you decided that a mud and gravel road was a good idea for a bunch of shiney show cars?

If so, I got this bridge in NY I'm selling that you guys can have for a special price.
