Default First Track Vids .... Porche Spins OUT !!!

I will have a lot more vid. But this is very short and sweet.

My Hardbar setup works great.

There will be other vid posted in this thread on the Pacific Section

The red car driver was not too bright. It was very cold and we were on the track for only 30 seconds.....it is a dangerous turn.

This one is me playing tag with a C6 ...... you can see the track layout.

Its kind of a big file so be patient ...... very good quality though.

BTW - what is attached to your rearview mirror ? Is that a radar detector? If so surprise Tech let that through.

Ha, the porsche lifted and the red car hit the brakes, I love it. Am I nuts or can you see the porsche spit flame when he lifts? Or is that just glare? Dang, I should get a few more of these and show them to my students!

What rez are the vids in? The quality is really quite nice plus the file size is small. I would like to process mine in the same way.

Also I would be curious what file size and what other rules your host has. Can anyone host some vid there free?

They are 16:9 and 30 FPS

The vids come out VERY large ..... many complain about this.

The Porche spinout is small because its so short.

Look at the vid in post 10 and tell me what you think

I downloaded them all, that one is good quality to. Mine are 1.5 gig or so and that I format down but am not really happy with how fuzzy the image is then.

I only viewed the compressed ones. The other ones didn't down load. The compressed ones look good. Keep them coming DH.
