If you were ever going to go...

[ChevyKiller]

to Irwindale to see what the so cal cars can do - this Thursday would be the time to do it!

ST Motorsports will be out in FORCE...

Adam is closing the shop and we are meeting up at 3:00 pm to get a huge pit. The following cars will be there turning their new bests...

My car
Sawyer's Car
Adam's Black KB car
Brandi's Car
Dean's car
Ken's car
Paul's car
John's car
Scott's car
Tony's car
Mike's car

A few others not on the forum.

We will be blowing up Irwindale this week so anyone in so cal come on out!

We also could really use some video volunteers (hint hint ed & don...lol) - there are going to be some great matchups and everyone is shooting for personal bests!

After 3 months - I'm excited to get the ChevyKiller back down the asphalt!!

I'm gonna see if I can make it. I'll probably only watch, though.

 

[ChevyKiller]

Come on Dave - run that bad boy!

 

[freebass55]

I wouldn't be able to get there early. I'd get there when the crowd gets there. It's been a while since I drove. Plus, I wouldn't want to embarrass you guys. lol

 

[ChevyKiller]

You couldn't do that! It's all in fun - stock or modified - doesn't matter - this is going to be fun and a good time!

But I do understand about getting there late cause that sucks for racing. Hope to see you down there. We'll have a huge pit so come by and say hi!

sounds like a great time... too bad I'm 3000 miles away!

 

[freebass55]

If you leave now, you can make it in time.

 

[stkjock]

No promises, but I'll see what I can do about my schedule. What time do they actually start racing?

 

[ChevyKiller]

Gates open at 4 and racing starts at 5:00 PM.

If you or Ed (or both) come - I'll buy you guys pit passes and bring my tripod so you can station your cameras for some great footage!

I'll let you know if I can work something out.

I am also going to try to buy one of those suction cup tripods that you can mount the camera outside on the car. I am bringing my Canon digital camera which can take great videos (like the one attached) and my hi-def sony camcorder.

I saw a couple of different types the vette guys were using at CA Speedway the previous weekend.

This sounds like a great time. Those of us living up in the snow belt have to live vicariously through you guys, so take some good vids!

 

[psfracer]

Well, since I have a camcorder and a digital camera that takes great video, I already mounted the digital camera about 5 inches above the dash, on the passenger side since I plan on running in the left lane on Thursday. I wonder if they are going to give me any crap about that in tech.....

I want to get video of me beating Dean, Brandi, Tony, Sawyer, and John (Tiny). Yeah, thats right Tiny---bring that turbo mustang out---

Mark and the Black car can race in EX--I am not racing those two.

 

[ChevyKiller]

I just bought this one today Paul to try out...

I like how it can mount anywhere on the otuside of the car too. I am going to try mounting it to the passenger side front fender...

Hey, Donna and I are going to try and make it up there on Thursday (if I can clear my work schedule). But, our video camera is not working (won't focus properly). If one of you guys want to bring your video camera for us to use, we'll video all the runs. Then you can post them afterwards.

 

[ChevyKiller]

Cool I hope you and donna can make it!

Well, IF you go, I have a sony hi def camcorder with a 40 gig harddrive that can capture that. Also, I will bring the USB cable with it--so if anyone wants copies I can download them to your laptop. If that doesn't work then I could just burn them all to discs and then give to whomever wants.

The camera I am going to be using in the car is my Canon 8 megapixel camera which happens to take great videos. I already have it mounted a few inches above the dash. I tested it today and it looks good (as far as perspective).

 

[don_w]

That would be great Paul. If we make it, I'll bring my laptop, too. I'll have a better idea if we can make it in a couple days.

Some new Don W drag race vids would be great!
