BaLListic:
Sorry that your wife had a hard time with the motion sickness. And I totally understand as my wife's the same way (and my son, if you remember the story).
Tony:
Definitely some great shots of the car - several of them turned out really neat.
Killboy:
Thanks man. If I would have thought about it earlier, I would have set the 20D to 400 ISO, but I kind of like how the 100 ISO shots came out - which mandated shooting at lower shutter speeds (1/8 - 1/100 ish using aperature priority), which gave some great motion blur to the pics. The 20D is such a great camera. Also, it was nice to meet you (I was the guy that chatted with you at overlook at the bottom of the Dragon about the rest of the guys that went all the way to the bottom). I've long been a fan or your website. We made many-a-trip to the gap on bikes back in the days before kids:
Old School <- which was shot with a point and shoot digital camera - vintage 2001.
I definitely was admiring your car - curious as to what all that techno stuff was you have? And I love those wheels!

Hey everyone, thanks for the great time and it was great meeting all of you. Tony, let me know if you ever head to the gulfport/biloxi area to cruise or gamble. its nice to know there is another semi local evo in the area. Sgt.Blamo/Steve, had a great time and friday was a blast. Nathan is going to upload all the videos this weekend, and hope to get you all a copy before turkey day. Keep in touch, i'll talk to ya'll later.

We need to consolidate pictures/videos into a single thread...any takers?
Here is some vid - but I'm not happy with it.
My camera mount was too high to see out the front window very far. Thus, this clip is kind of dull (so I cut a lot out). Next time, I will have a better mount / system.
Bad Camera Angle 45MB
I have 2 runs that were around 200MB wmv at 320x240. I don't know if anyone would have interest downloading that. Then there was the last run on up to the Foothills Parkway that I haven't even looked at yet. I encoding the 2nd run solo in which Chris held the camera - or at least tried...at 640x480, its looking to be a 160MB file.
roro: When Nathan finishes the files, let me know - with some better mix, I might be able to do more.
I'm still scratching my head on what to do on file size versus quality - let's hear some opinions.
