The spin was more fun to watch, the run in this one went really fast, loved watching the markers show and disappear...  :-D  The dead air watching the chute at the end was a little boring after but I guess after a historic run one needs to take a couple of breaths...  8-)

Did I notice a "Yee-HAH!" in Sparky's voice right near the end?  Sure sounded like him.  And the run -- I didn't see the chute out 'til when it was supposed to be out, and didn't see the freeway then the mountains then the freeway then...

Congratulations again, Sparky.

That video was shot with a Radio Shack DV520T that is on close out now for $79.00  I just bought another, it is 4"x2"x .625".  We just now have figured out a way to put one in the top of the fin facing forward and will also have this one facing the dust storm at El Mirage this week end and post next week if I am smart enough to get it turned on and recording. :cheers:
