Video if my very first Auto-X in Oakland!

Ken, after the lane change, there's a 90 degree left turn leading into the fast 4-cone slalom. I came through the 2-cone "slalom" before the turn a little fast, caught a little off-the-line grit, and hit the first two or three cones of the wall on the right side.
You'd have been able to hear it, if not for the wind noise.

Ken, what bar are you running, and what links? I am going to design some links to work better with the Gendron bar; maybe I can help you figure out what / where / how on yours.

Ken, nice time. I haven't been to an autox since the last time you saw me. I still keep my membership active though.
Great vids John. When I first saw them, I thought dang this guy is fast, then I saw your name. What kind of camcorder are you using?
I need new links. Do you guys know where I can get links (non-OEM) that will work with discontinued Mugen big bar?

Hey Conway, it's been a while. I think the last time I saw you was getting some big wheels for your S2000 at Jack's shop.
I use a Canon digital camera for my in car video. It's an SD800IS. The newer equivalents are the SD870IS or the brand new SD880IS. Other cameras in the SD series should take similar video, but the ones I listed are the ones with the widest field of view (equivalent to a 28mm lens). That's why I can't get rid of the wind noise -- there's no support for an external microphone.

I remember that day at Jack's. Wow that was awhile ago. Your videos are crisp and clear. I used to use an old JVC miniDV and I don't think it looked as good. Going to have to check out that camera. Thanks for the info.
