Yowza, that thing just launched. We were talking online about how that guy would put his arm out across the track to stop the cars and once I saw what looked like him knocking a car off as well.

Ickabod,

I just noticed you may have videos of us racing against you and yours in the following Preliminary races for the 'Open Adult' Division. If you have those videos you could post, I would really appreciate it.

Round 1 Heat 16 (Sarah H. in black lane)
Round 1 Heat 61 (Bill H. in the black lane)
Round 1 Heat 73 (Sarah H. in the White lane)
Round 1 Heat 85 (Bill H. in the White lane)

Thanks,

Scott Blevins (Scrollsawer)

Ick,

I was in the yellow lane in your car crash video. Looks like the car in between you and me may have jumped a little into your lane at the very end, and may have knocked your car off the track. Hard to tell with my bad eyes, but the car between us seemed to veer into your lane right at the finish line.

Ouch. A drop like that can--and probably did--damage your car.

Wow, Ick, if you watch the video posted of the first race of the Kids Open Class, my son's car nearly takes the same dive as yours from the same lane.

It's really nice to see those videos, thank you for shooting the videos and posting them.


I was able to see a few things, that I was interested in trying to see.

I didnt ask, but i didnt know how many videos you had with some of our cars. but i seen the one you posted that had the mach 5 in it, I noticed some wiggle in it towards the end. which told me my guess was drift was just a tad not not enough.


Do you have any more videos, thhat would have our cars in them ? that you have not posted, it would be nice to see them.

Thanks

I do have more videos (47 total) If you can tell me which of my cars ran with yours I can narrow down the selection and get them posted. It will be this evening once I get home from work.

Thanks Ick for the effort in posting the vids. I know it can be a PIA sometimes sifting through the vid's, compressing, and then uploading.

I like the camera angle you had and wish the live feed would've been setup something like that. I think Scroll noted it in his feedback for next year as well.

Those videos are very nice, we didn't get that perspective from the on line streaming.

The thing that stuck out for me in the vidoes, was the open adult finals video. I was amazed at how close all the cars were. Didn't seem like much seperation at all.

Of those videos I'm in Round #1 in the white lane. That was my Lucky 13 Camo car. The Lucky 13 orange car posted a 2.9503 before the back portion snapped. Thanks for posting Ick. Can't wait to see posted pics and videos on the website

Here is a link to a gallery of all the races I captured from the simulcast. I was better at catching some than others. For anyone who didn't get a chance to see the simulcast, this is what it looked like. Ick's videos are much better.
