Scotty B has posted our in-car videos on his site. I over dubed the track announcer audio which is pretty cool. I'm not great at the embedded linking thing but here's a shot:

If you can right click and download the files rather than streaming them I'm sure it will make the viewing much more fun. The files are about 60Mb each.

Not to mention it will not kill the limited bandwidth on my site.

Thanks, Scott B.

Nice.

Announcer dubbing is cool, but it gets a little annoying.

You guys did pretty good with keeping up with Chuck considering he has, what, 150hp+ on you?

Yea at least that much. My car was run in IP configuration less 80lbs. of ballast. I was across the scales at 2900lbs. and offically dyno checked twice at 254whp. and 238ft-lbs. of torque. Could of shed another 100lbs. and still been legal.

That's what may wife said ... about the video that is. I like the audio it as it gives a running status on the race and saves me from having to edit the boring laps out. Also, since you can't see in my rear-view mirror it helps give a sense of how quickly Randy caught up with me after he cleared some GTS5 traffic. And, having attended countless pro races at Mid-OH it's nice hearing the same guys calling our race.

I could see it being annoying however if you aren't Stickley, Berkowitz, Mueller, or I as that's pretty much the only race they called.

As far as interesting races that was pretty much it. :stickoutt

I watched you guys battle and the GTS2 battle between Karl (red 944) and the black 968 (I always forget his name). There were some middle of the pack GTS3 guys mixed in with GTS4 guys that wasn't too bad to watch either.

The Mid-Ohio announcer is fairly consistent, during the BMW CR races he calls out H-Production, J-Production and K-Production cars though. Once I thought I heard him call Ray Mason a drug dealer but it turns out it was the crappy PA system as he was saying truck dealer. "Oh....." :D

I downloaded the second vid and it comes up at ~29 minutes. At 8:14 it gets stuck or stops and goes back to the beginning. Did it twice to me. Maybe just my download not sure. It was just really getting good there too :banghead:

I think part of the problem was that the timing and scoring monitors used by the announcers were not working, so they called what they knew and could see. The GTS2 battle between Jim Child(black 968), Jeff Curtis, and Carl Picelle was pretty close as was the GTS4 battle with Jamie Frauenberg, Chris Streit and John Haas, who by the way came from the 43rd. starting position to take the win in GTS4 on the last lap and 4th. overall.

Just checked and it seems to be working fine. Maybe a glitch in your download. Try watching it streaming and see if it works for you.

Cool videos guys... Thanks for sharing it!

If I wasn’t so slack about getting video, I would share too.

For the record, for those that do not know, there was no contact as the announcers stated. My car did have some battle scars, but that was from one of the previous qualifying races.

No doubt the “Specially” tuned S54 worked well but the JRZ’s and other suspension components from BimmerWorld had the car hooked up and that is apparent when you see the over-under moves I was able to make through Madness and the Esses. :)

Great video guys, I'm so glad Spec E30 got moved out of the GTS group so I could relax and watch you guys go at it. Good times, see you all next year :D

Holy horrifically slow download Batman! I had to start the downloads and make a quick trip to Egypt and back...just about finished. ; )

Seriously, I tried several times throughout the day, tried streaming, etc, just slow. I even tried some other sites for comparison and all seemed well on my side. No worries, finally got them, now gotta sit down and watch and enjoy! ; )

Cheers.

It's Go Daddy. Maybe with all the money they give Danica they can't afford to speed up their servers..:D

I left my computer at work downloading yours, guess I'll look at Sean's tomorrow when I tie up the Internet for another 6 hours. Maybe Danica can go beat up her Go Daddy to speed it up, I hear she's good at that sort of thing. Hey the 3 amigos racing team, cool. :thumbup:

It's more like 3 stooges racing. It's all Pauls fault, since he's such a character.:D

Scotty B has been kind enough to let me post on his site. We have an agreement though that I have to stay behind him so he's always in the video :stickoutt; that's my excuse anyway. -Sean

Nice vids. I like the commentary. A different perspective from what I saw while attending the event.
