Title: 23 JUN - VIR - Race 9 - On-board Video
Post by: magicrat on June 25, 2007, 09:41:00 PM
I mounted a camera to Chris Cooke's bike (AM#208) ... rearward facing.

Last race of the day.

Here's the whole race.

Some decent shots of the Amateur class folks.  You might see yourself.

You let Brian King get you back at the start/finish! Great race and great video!

Brian King.... 

Straight outta Talledega Nights...!!

"Sling Shot Ennngaged!!"

Nice Vid....  :-)  I saw Sterling on the R1, and #412 is a Jamie James built bike.  I saw Doug hangin in the pits and didn't get to talk with him.

Actually, bro, that is me toting around all those great shots of you! And that it what a first time out on a 600 at VIR looks like to you(of me)! WOW, what an experience in T1 on those MW starts!

Awesome race, good rolling with you, I hope I didn't hold you up too bad or squid out in front of you at all during the race. My finishes got better as the day went on, but I couldn't break the top 8 in any of them. I need more practice. Hope to see you at Summit!

after actually watching that video, i need to stop being such a facking poosey on the gas!

god, my lines suck. I think I got you back though King at the re-do of race 2 at the end of the day, didn't I? I talked to you at pit out after your near-offroad experience in T14, remember?lol, that was close!

oh, well, next time!

Trying not to name drop....  When that "guy" came up the inside at the top of 14 sideways with his rear wheel in the air, I was forced to make hasty exit into the grass.  I wasn't able to get back on the track until the last corner worker station at the bottom of the hill.  By that time the whole field had past by, so I just went to pit in and did not complete the race.   Yeah, we talked about it after race 9.

Nope.

I got Race 6, 7, and 9.

But in Race 6 & 7, I had the camera tank mounted and Chris kept hitting it with his helmet and turning it off when he would "tuck" on the straight  sections. 

The tank mount is really a pain for him ... it's just in a terrible position and gets in his way.

I'm going to work on connecting a bullet cam that is forward facing attached to the camera mounted on the back of the bike ... out of his way.

I think that would be me. Unless somebody else did the same thing during race nice.

I think saying I got in a little hot and aggressive would be an understatement. Luckily 36 kept it upright.

Yeah, I need to get some of those pictures of me too.  Of course, I live in the same city as the photographer, so it might be easier for me to just go to the source.  BK, you need to tell me who he is.

Thanks BK.  And if Hollywood sent you a PM here, you can't use them until you have 15 posts.  So start saying random things in people's posts and you'll be able to get to it.
