autox video

[k9handler]

Well I was finally able to compress down a quick video from this past weekends autox at Bitburg Germany. I was not able to locate anyone with a server to load the higher quality video...so I made this little 1.8 MB version. Due to bandwidth limitations on yahoo...this file may become unavailable for a while, just try again later if this happens and I will try to host it from another location as well.

what no comments? I guess my lap times suck pretty bad and you all have the respect to say nothing at all if you have nothing good to say.
That's ok...I will get better at this.

Nice runs! The 3.6 sounds great under acceleration. Is the suspension stock? It handles pretty good. The file is little small though.

[k9handler]

thanks Andy,
The suspension is Bilstein HD's on the rear and Koni (originals) on the front.

As for file size...it is small, but with limited bandwidth I wanted to get it where many people could view it. I have a couple larger videos in quicktime and windows media format...from 35 MB to 99 MB and the quality on them is much better, just need a host for em.

The video size is fine for me (56k dial up).

Looks like a lot of fun. You seemed to have good grip with all that power. What tyres are you running?

haha
Thanks for the video.. I want that friggin motor Smitty!


Be safe !

Very nice video, but let us hear the engine instead of the music.

I don't have sound on the shop computer but the video is GREAT!! I've kept a copy along with Jack O's famous Laguna wall clip. Is that on base, on the old flight line? I thought I would recognize the area from my high school days, has it really changed that much since then.
Thanks for taking the time to post the shots.

[k9handler]

the video was a little deceptive...I was all over the place since the skinny yokos provided little grip with their high 420 treadware!
Once nostatic get's back from his trip I may be able to load the larger videos, so keep an eye out for them.

[k9handler]

Kevin, that is Bitburg AB...just next to the control tower/fire department.
Per request I will load a simple clip with just audio from the 3.6

[k9handler]

lap with just pure 3.6 music, and the tire screeching backup vocals.

Thanks. Love it without the music. That engine sounds so good! It doesn't look as if you're all over the place. It looks pretty well controlled to me. Especially when one consider that you're running on stock 15 inch wheels. I'd say not bad at all

[Craig Stevens]

I liked hearing just the engine sound too! I thought you drove fine. It looked like you were having a lot of fun!! Craig

[speeder]

I thought that it was really good! And if you are a beginner at auto-X, the driving looks very respectable to me. I plan on auto-Xing my car sometime soon, hope to do as well as you in the beginning!

[k9handler]

thanks guys...it was alot of fun!
I did pretty good on day one, but day two was another story. Laps were good as long as I stayed out of the throttle...as soon as I got a little deep in the throttle the arzz would come round and this prevented me from posting competative times! Then again my novice driving skills didn't help that matter either. Ha Ha.

Was that one lap of the course? if so that seems like a long course, But then again I've never done an autocross. In the video it looks like the car was doing great. motor sounds great also.

[rickeolis]

So cool Smitty! Thanks for posting that-
It looks like you had a great time out there! The car sounds so sweet, and the acceleration is nice!
I like the layout of the course; someday soon, I'll be racing again. They found another track to run on out here since we lost the one.
TTYL- Take care, and thanks for the videos!!
