Looks like you were giving Lane something to worry about! Nice driving Eon. Thanks for sharing the video. Now I see what it's like to be up front. :-)

Now I see what it's like to be up front. :-) HAHA I don't think I was giving Lane anything to worry about, he pretty much had it under control. I was just trying to stick around up there as long as possible  I hope I get to see what it looks like up front again soon ;D |

Foiled my prospects of getting a good start so I can practice being passed by the maximum amount of cars down the straight....  T |

I love your camera! Could you adjust the mirror down just a tad so we can see the traffic behind you? ;D
Nice smooth driving Eon, is that a stock 944 tranny or? The shifting points look a little different than when I had my stock tranny. Come to think of it, mine was a Euro...T would that be geared different than the US tranny's?

The shifting points look a little different than when I had my stock tranny. Come to think of it, mine was a Euro...T would that be geared different than the US tranny's? The video quality of the parent file from that camera are top rate. I think it's on par with the Chase Cam setup....very close if not. Trouble comes when you have to shrink so much to post them on the web. Most places have a 500mb limit and Eon's heat race for example was over 1 gig in HD. Ashamed really, because unless you are viewing the original, the shrink morphed version really compromises the quality. On the trans...., no G, no distinction at all between Euro and Rest of World....., the 1988 and up transmissions get the lower 5th gear as a default but other than that, all 944NA 8v boxes are the same unless they came with LSD.

T dude! that was super close. your boy gave you some slack at the start. i would have pushed my old man wide into 10. Close....? You mean me on the brakes to miss Goddard or the proximity of me and Eon....? I guess me and Eon have an unspoken pact. We have been side by side and bumper to bumper since the very first PCA DEs we did.....almost always in VERY close proximity. That's not to say we aren't racing each other....I guess I have passed him and he has passed me as much as anybody else out there. Even once this year, his first race I think.....he was right on my bumper and I knew I was holding him up and I wasn't making any impression on the two cars in front of me so I waived him by to give him a shot at 'em. If I had known at the time that there were two laps to go though, I might have tried to hold him back.....but he can basically pass me at will on the straight as you'll see when he gets his next vid up.... ;D T |

Now, if DC would be so kind, I'd sure like to see your heat race video to compare your improvements this weekend over the past videos.
And also.....the feature from the 007 so I can see Chris' perspective until he got around me and Eon.

T, I need to do editing on the vids as I turned the camera on early, plenty of excess footage in HD no less. I might have to get your help in converting. You and Eon did a bangup job this race and his camera is better than the chasecam as far as video quality.
I do have a good close shot of Goddards fender as everyone got by in the heat.LOL
And next race, Troy can try the 007 on and see what its like.We are close in hieght and the seat is large enough for Chris so he should be able to get
properly seated. sorry for the absence on the board, been unde th weather. and thanks for thew kind words.

I appreciate the offer to try out the 007 DC. I'll definitely take you up on it at the first opportunity. And I don't think anyone can argue that I had the closest view of Goddard's fenders. ;D |

Get well soon DC. I think E's email is visible when you click on his forum info, so yeah, give him a shout for clipping and compressing. So get those vids up pronto. I want to see the difference in your line/performance because you obviously made a massive improvement. T |

And an equally good view of you getting a good view.... ;D T |

Hey Troy....there you go, right from the horse's mouth. We'll make sure and go out together. I sure hope the 007 aint on one of those break out pace moods that day.... And uh, for the record, Patrick Harris probably could have run Lane down and passed him if it was him in Eon's car..... ;D T |

I hope I get to see what it looks like up front again soon ;D
