Default Video Highlights from WTD08

I've started pulling some video off of the camera last night, still have a bit to go, as well as figuring out what parts you all would actually care to see!

So far I've just got a night run from Saturday after the dinner. Still waiting for it to finish 'processing' on google video before I can link it.

Also to come - following Willie Gee & Speedworksracing (with an invisible Sobe Death behind me); and following a sport bike (need to review vid to figure out what it was) for about half of the Westbound run.

Show us your movin' pictures!!!

Thank you sir. It's worth noting, visibility was slightly better than what the video shows. But nonetheless, it's a rush unlike anything you get during the day.

still waiting on video #2! I wasn't following anything, except cars that kept pulling over. Was that the "miracle run?"

The "miracle run" will be the very next video I put up, don't you worry! It was probably the best video I captured all weekend, but after reviewing the tape, I was already at the end where the night run was, so that's what I ripped first.

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?

Maybe you can't see all that much, but I liked that you could see the speedo, cause people we tell about this or show pictures of the road always want to know "how fast ya goin", now I have an idea. It's hard to watch when you're driving, or being a passenger when my wife drives!

Yeah you can only get a sense of the average speed by checking your clock when you start and when you stop!

Chill B!

I'll do it tonight, I promise! Unfortunately my employer looks down on me doing video editing at work...
