Default Quick Dragon Video

Just wanted to share a quick video from our trip up to the Dragon last month. Feel free to post yours if you have them

This was a fairly moderate pace.. until we caught up to that Solstice. He couldn't decide to speed up or slow down lol.

Funny thing is..I was hitting 80 at some spots in the vid .. doesn't translate the speed very well. Videos don't do it any justice.

Paul, I think the video you have of the GP mounted to your hardtop looking down the side of the car had the best representation of the feeling of speed. Might have to try that myself next year (minus the HT of course but in the same general area)

I had the exact same issue with my videos. I took my GP to the Dragon last weekend, and after getting home and looking at the videos, it looks kinda lame. Same deal as you, I was 30+ thru corners in 2nd gear, with 80+ in some spots. The speed just doesn't translate into the video.
