Targa Tasmania 2008 In Real Time
Hi all,
My father and I just finished the Prologue stage today and are posting our preparatio, travel and in-car footage as we go...so enjoy! Click on the "Targa Videos" page to see the in-car footage, or on the Travel/Park Firme/Prologue links to see pics of the days. With over 300 cars entered we are seeing all kinds of great drives and people. Ask if you want any more pics of an individual car, we're all locked up together and have pretty much unfettered access. www.johnjlandry.com/tassie_overview.htm I'll add more comments and notes to the photos soon, off to the dinner events now.

Very cool, John. Top down in the Targa. I watched the Elephant Saddle stage. That road was made for a 911. Enjoy & drive safe.

OK, all 23 videos are up now. They are all in WMV format, if there are any special requests I can post MPEGs which are dvd quality but take ages to upload.
The favorites are Hellyer Gorge, Mt Arrowsmith (30 minutes!,) Tungatinah (M3 and near 911 crashes) and Cethana (still uploading.) Right-click and download to avoid buffering issues or click and wait for Windows to buffer. The left/right g-meter is accurate, the fore/aft is not due to mounting issues (cable broke and needed to mount in a tilted position) If you listen carefully the soundtracks include: Full-volume Learn-to-speak-German in the Beaconsfield stage "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport" through Devonport Highway to Hell Piece of **** Car by Adam Sandler and so on.... More pics on the way, in the meantime enjoy! http://www.johnjlandry.com/Tassie%20Videos.htm

Looks like great fun! Thanks. Are the ferns really that big as seen behind you in pic 3?

Yep, that's up Weldborough Pass where you go through some rainforest areas. The photographer who took that actually startled me as I was looking exactly in front of him to the next apex when his flash went off. He was buried back behind the ferns in the foreground.
