Topic: '09 Lamest Day Crappy Video Postings

Here is number one in a series of about 3000 really poorly done low quality black and white still frame videos that our 1979 Sony camera took of the race start.
You can see how the camera makes our car look really fast. I think the yellow flag was out and I failed to see it.

Seriously, what was with the houseplant? 

I love a well-edited and captioned video!

I am a crappy webmaster. I don't edit much of anything. Windows Movie Maker is my choice of editing tools. My home system uses a combo of Verizon EVDO and Hughesnet for Internet access, and Verizon is sucking monkey balls right now for speed, so I am stuck with Hughesnet and my limited upload/download limits, so that is why the quality of my videos suck. I am sorry about that. But I guess that is what happens when you live with the sound banjos on the horizon...

I'm not complaining, Bill.  I just thought Westhoven's captioning was hilarious!

I'm even worse than you... I just plain don't do video editing.

lol.. I just got the joke, I did not see the links to his videos. after watching them I got it.

Here is our 2nd Black Flag incident. Buick vs. Toyota. We lost.
Looks like our guy came down on the Regal.
Judge Jonny was right. We were at fault. I am beginning to see that he is always right... ALWAYS.

That was our first black-flag penalty- I think we were the first team with 4 wheels off the track, so we got special treatment. wink

I edited my GoPro vid in Windows Movie Maker, which will let you crop, transition and merge stuff nicely enough, once you figure out the limited interface.   It takes FOREVER to load up the 4GB AVI file though.   The comments are a new YouTube feature that I discovered accidentally by clicking on the video after I uploaded it.

Next year we will have our multi-camera ChaseCam working again. I blew up the PDR at CMP due to a miss-que on the wiring. Sending it back tomorrow to get fixed. Normally I have a lot better video.

Very wise words, indeed. 

Anybody got any video of the GT30?  I'd especially like to see some of my antics in the first 90 minutes (that ended with me looping it outside of the carousel) or some of my highly-entertaining two-wheels-in-the-dirt inside passes in the wee hours of the morning.  (it's surprising how many people just won't accept that you're car is faster AND that you are THERE)

We won the IOE at Southern Discomfort.
We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey  and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

Yep, your guy came down on the Regal. 

Dude, Jonny and the other judges are always right.  I'm going to have a discussion with one of my drivers about breaking this rule (this is a team rule too).  When they get it wrong they admit it and that happened to us - our taxi was flagged, when they got the HQ one of the judges was already coming over and saying it was mistaken identity and sent them right back out.
