Slowly getting these cut together and uploaded. So far I've got a couple, with plenty more to come. I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed making them

The final list should be:
- Chasing BO(RED) during outbound FCPD run (day)
- Looking back at patinum on inbound FCPD run (day)
- S2krazy2 in pursuit on 129 (day)
- Short clip of Billman250 in pursuit on RT28 with a little drifting fun (day)
- Chasing GPMike on 129 (night)
- Chasing Billman250 on 129 (night)
- Chasing Billman250 on Rt28 (night)
- our gravel road misadventure

Hope you all enjoy!

And sorry in advance for the wind noise. When I bought this camera, I couldn't find one for reasonable price with external mic input. That will be a priority for me to locate before DBR.

I thought I'd be fancy and embed the vimeo directly into my post, but apparently we can't use html on this forum... blah

Chasing Billman250 on 129 (night)

My personal favorite video. You can clearly see the speedo, and the lack of visibility makes for a pretty exciting drive.

Be sure to catch the trip through the Gravity Cavity starting around 6:46

our gravel road misadventure
http://www.vimeo.com/4448744

This is an entertaining one. We thought we were taking a shortcut back from Bald River Falls on Saturday, in an effort to get back in time for dinner. It ended up that said shortcut was 95% gravel road for the entire 11 mile journey. And at the end, it comes up 100ft below the Cherohala, and I was amost sure didn't connect!!!

Luckily, in the end there was a ramp that went up to the Cherohala on the other side of the underpass. What an adventure!!!

Trying to remember who was around for this wild ride... I know S2krazy2, DERF, PJK3, and the couple that drove around the country in their S last year, but I don't remember their screen name. Anyone help me out here?

EDIT: added PJK3 to the list... still need the handle of that last couple in the yellow S

Oh nice....did you get me when I got motion sickness and overshot 2 corners from being dizzy. Talk about an out of body experience. I need to load up on the dramamine next year for the night runs.

Funny thing was...I got better 2 hours later...went out again with a passenger and the passenger wound up getting sick too. THe night runs are craziness!

LOL! Look at the face of the driver in the white S....he didn't look to happy to be on that road
