Hey All,

Had a great time at my first s2k dragon event (second time there, ever). I ran my GoPro HD camera on the front of the car for a few runs. The one below was the morning of the monster roll out. I dont know why we decided not to participate in that, but I'm glad we didnt. We were the NFR heading S-bound during the huge parade of s2000's coming north. I know its a relatively slow run (except for the first 500 yards), but i was more interested in just chillin and enjoying the car

Around 4:05, the first s2's start passing (holy tight first group!)

I'll probably post the HD video someday, but for now I just wanted to get it up for family and friends. So enjoy.

Here is the rig I was using:

I'll kick it off with some lead footage from our eastbound trip on the Fluffy Clouds & Puppy Dogs run. Still not sure why Billman decided to pull off when he did, but it was about time because he was really holding me up

My fault. Dramamine wasn't really doing its thing plus I was bracing my leg/foot against the door, which resulted in a searing pain in my gimpy toe. Caddy Mike was kind enough to stop and let me hop in where I could my foot up in style.

No that was earlier - didn't have the camera rolling for your walk of shame... unfortunately

wow, I've never managed to get up in time for a monster roll out, so I can't say from experience... but the cars sure are a lot more spread out than I would expect. this is at the other side of the bridge near Fontana, right?
