Pretty cool website, thanks for the link Dan. My wife may not be as thankful though,as it looks like one of the those web pages you can spend a lot of time on. :2tu:

How come the videos don't load up on this site? Can't view videos on Trackpedia.

Which page are you referring to, Danno?

The videos I have tried work. But what I really liked was the fact that every track that I know of is on it and a lot of tracks had notes, info, etc. :2tu:

ALL,
WOW, this is indeed an interesting site, and much to my surprise , a video I posted on Google (free video hosting), came up. It was my movie of the track day at Pacific Raceway with the Enzo Ferrari. :2tu: :2tu:
Take a look:
http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Go to: United States Tracks,
Go to: Washington
Go to: Pacific Raceways
at the bottom where it says "Video"
Go to: Videos at Google
Select the video with the blue square - with hard to read lettering.
Enjoy. :) :2tu:

RuckDr, Great video. For the first few minutes I thought you were commenting from inside the car and I was amazed that you were that sedate and calm on a wet track, chasing 2 Ferrari's (nice catch buy the way). Then I realized you edited afterwards. Made me feel better after I realized it cause my pulse goes up just racing from a stoplight!! Thanks for the video :shocked:

Danno,
Yes, I did narrate it after the fact, sitting calmly at my computer. It was a fun day, and being on the track with the Enzo was for me probably once in a lifetime. :2tu: :2tu:

I had a heard a from a friend that you folks were discussing my site http://www.trackpedia.com so I just had to drop on over and say "hi" and ask you what your honest opinions were at the moment and get some feedback on what I can do to make it better for you.

I am still hashing though a lot of the formatting and coloring issues with the page but am interested in what sort of content you feel needs to be easily accessable from the main page and what else I can do to get people to start editing and contributing more to the track guides. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Beyond that for ruckdr checking out the site and talking about his video I have now made it and him famous by making it the feature video for Pacific Raceways! :) If any one else out there has tracks they are on or pictures for the picture of the week contest by all means submit them.

I closing thanks so much for checking out the site and I look forward to any recommendations you can make. I also look forward to getting some contributions on track guides from the viper folks as I know you end up driving a lot different line than I do! :)

InjectTheVenom,
Yes, that is a direct link, as is the 2nd link listed below from my posting directly to Google.

John (jstecher),
Thanks for posting the video with Pacific Raceways, and I see it is a direct link there.
Also, I did the 15 sec. (rather poor) video of Nick Diaz at BREMERTON raceway which you have listed. My older digital camera only takes 15 sec. clips.
Thanks for the great site, will look more, and should have more contributions this year.

Later,

Just wanted to thank the folks for the viper club for the help on the site so far and the comments on how to make the trackpedia site more useful. I appreciate it to no end. :) Happy motoring!

The one thing I would like to see someone to is add the viper club and forums to the trackpedia reference pages at the bottom in the forum and car club area just so that we have you in there and can direct traffic to you.

P.S. Does anyone know who I would talk to on the site to possibly get trackpedia to be a permanate reference link on the viper club website?
