It is as we say in America " A pain in the A$$" PITA for short I turn the camera on and then I have to undo my harness and hit the camera rear record button. Then I just video edit the tape.

I don't think these new guys know your past. I remembers something about someone driving across the badlands at high speeds in full race gear and got pulled over. Trust me guys, Gkulls car is fast he is just being modest. Great video.

Todays attempt at filming sucked. I ask somebody at work and got bad advice. I left home right after 6:00 and drive 100 miles to some place I had never been. When I got there it was like occasion traffic and a motorcycle or two. I drove the 20 some mile road looking for the best imprompto hill climbing event. Then i would turn around and practice a small section and then some vehicle would spoil the really going for the gusto......

I started this one section and yelled, " Hey TurttleVette this is trail braking!" and doing the 80 mph into a posted 30 mph turn. Then just up the road is a motor home plodding along.

As time went on more people and overheating made me call it a morning and I did some hiking
