Title: LSR Vicky at Zmax Dragway (Video)
Post by: Cajun Kid on November 01, 2009, 04:06:50 PM: Well, so far this is the best video I have of me at the Zmax Dragway. man this is a big and intimidating place,, look how small the Vicky looks from the stands....

This run was a ET of 11.218 at 121.92 MPH

I would've know for sure if your photographer hadn't chosen to have us check out the clouds though. Kinda reminds me of the on-bike video that I got last weekend at Maxton, although the second run didn't get rec orded -- which is good since I carried the front wheel about a foot off the ground through all of second and part of third -- so I could see the sky, you know.

Joe was filming and looked up to see my win.... guess he forgot the camera would move with his head ...LOL

Title: Re: LSR Vicky at Zmax Dragway (Video)
Post by: Cajun Kid on November 02, 2009, 09:22:41 AM: Yes Zmax is the new Dragway across from Charlotte Motor Speedway,, it is the new 4 lane strip. Has 2 big time NHRA events (Big money bought those dates) also has hosted Pinks All Out and Pass Time TV shows.

It is a great place,,, BIG...NEW....Clean...State of the Art as far as drag racing goes.

I wish we had a 2 or 3 mile straight away as nice as this close by,,, I prefer LAND SPEED RACING and the LSR people are the BEST.

But to pass the time, I guess a few drags a year is OK.....

Post by: Cajun Kid on November 02, 2009, 06:33:14 PM: Stan, In the still pic that is a view from the big John Force Grandstands looking at the start line area and the Jegs smaller stands,, they had that side closed and all the spectators and racers on the "big" side.

As to the video,,, looks like photobucket is having problems,, instead of clicking the picture itself,, try the blue text link above it,,, that should work,

Post by: Stan Back on November 02, 2009, 07:08:18 PM: Thanx, Charles. But my steam-powered Mac don't do those things. I got to keep it antique so I can make 1/4 of a living on the software I know. Don't want to confuse it.

It's a short video. Might wanna put yer ear plugs in at first...the sound comes on like gangbusters.

Btw, Charles...I think ya needs a good videographer. Since my new Canon 7D does .mov video, ya want me to get video of it? I'll do it for free...just transportation, food and lodging. :) The commute from Utah might be a bit time consuming, tho.

Glad to hear you're having fun with the new camera.

Post by: Peter Jack on November 03, 2009, 10:05:48 PM: I got your link fine Charles. It was Ray's Tiny URL link that didn't work. Is that 'cause I was using my MAC?
