Does your camera have EIS, or Electronic Image Stabilization? Those long-zoomed shots are nauseating.
Nice editing, where you patched clips together from two different videos, to give continuity between in-car, and outside action.
Overall, very interesting. Rock on!
The in-car camera has EIS. The other one, I don't know. I borrowed it for the week-end. The real problem with that camera was that the camera man was my 13 year old son, who doesn't have a grasp on how to shoot anything.
ViperSRT10: Sometimes I was trying to go fast, and others I was just cruising around. Most of these track events require the driver in front to point you past before you are allowed to pass. Usually, I will try to go fast until I catch up to somebody, then I will hang back a bit, and just match their speed so as not to crowd them too much, then close with them as we approach the straight.
Most of the time they will point me past after I have appeared in their rear view mirrors. Occasionally, the guy ahead of you won't figure out that you're behind him for a reason, and then I may have to ride his bumper a bit before he gets the message (or wait for one of the corner workers to show a blue flag.) So, if it looks like I'm not really pushing it in the in-car video where I am chasing somebody, I probably am taking it easy to give the guy in front of me some space.
Scotty B:
Damn!! That's fast. Based on the results from the recent SCCA time trials at 2nd Creek, I will need to run in the 1 minute 15 second range in order to win my class. There are cars that run faster, but they don't tend to be street legal. The fastest street legal car at the last event was a Corvette that ran a 1:16.967 There were a couple of other street legal cars in the same neighborhood. I have no idea how I will fare, as I've never timed myself. It should be a lot of fun.
