Hi Guys,
Ya, that's me.
I just put that video out on Google to show Brant how my VHS-C to Digital conversion was working. Didn't expect it to be "found" so fast! You guys are good!
My camcorder is old and on its last legs so the video quality is not good (video looked just as bad straight from my VCR to the TV). But if you guys are looking for an affordable way to get analog to digital from your camcorder, the VideoXpress from ADS is pretty good for around $50.
Grant is right, I was running around 55's the first session. Good news is, in a field of 54 cars in Small Bore Production, I
qualified 15th for the afternoon sprint race with that time.
For the Afternoon Sprint Race, the Good news is I brought my times down to 53's and had moved from 16th to 12th before... (here's the Bad News) a car dropped a bunch of fluid in turn 9... The guy in front of me went off, and I barely kept control. With my tires 'lubed' I decided not to risk an off and end my weekend, so I came in after only 5 laps. Because of that I was
gridded 46th for the main event Not a complaint, that's just racing!
Sunday morning practice was ok, ran 53's again and had the 12th fastest lap. (
ran 52's last year but never had a lap with out traffic this year!)
Not finishing the qualifying sprint put me out of the running for placing well in the Sunday afternoon race, but it might have been one of the more fun sessions I've run! I had non-stop traffic but moved up 20 spots to 26th! I have that on tape and will try and convert some and post if anyone is interested.
johannes, thanks for the kind words! My four has FAT Performance Heads & Cam, SCAT Crank, Carillo Rods, Weber 48IDAs, Electromotive Crankfire and Tangerine racing Headers. Runs good for a four!
