although the viper was kinda in a league of it's own, the driver was awesome without a doubt. i was rooting for JR in the blue/silver Falken S13 coupe :). but he made it pretty far anyway. in the end i was hoping the AE86 would take it, but the uphill course made it a little hard on him. but that's the name of the game. the inside passes by the viper were the ****!

The rest of the surrounding area is blurred showing great motion in the shot. This happened becuase i used 400 speed film and tracked the camera with the cars when i took the shot. So it looked like the cars were dead still and everything else was moving. I have 146 pictures (125 meg). If some one wants to host it, i'll upload it to you.
That picture is awesome.

No worries. I will post directions for everyone a few days before. If you want to know now, just check the park link and get directions from there.

BTW- Are you going to MPEG that video you did on Sunday?


AZ will help me host pics, but as far as mpeg the video????? how do you do that. The video is bad a$$. Its about 1hr10min. Let me know what you can do. It was nice meeting you guys.

Marcos - you had a dv camera right? what size tapes did it take? 8mm digital or smaller? does your camera have a firewire/1394 port on it?

if it is 8mm digital, i can mpeg it for you. then we can put it up here for everyone. whatever you want to do.

if you had a dv camera, you can connect it to your computer via the firewire port and use one of the video editing prog to convert it to mpg.

Just heard about this thread through 240kid, and although I'm not a 240 owner ('01 Sentra SE w/pp), I am in the Atl area, Fayetteville/Peachtree City. Wow... lots of us, I'm surprised.

Hey Gruby tell your dad to come on out. Nobody gives a sh*t about age. Besides, the NICO crowd is more mature IMO. It isn't like we are a bunch of wannabe teenage ricer guys in our rebellious stage when parents aren't cool.

Times and stuff are in the NICO Meets Section and back in this thread. Starts up at 12 but i think Chet and I will be there most of the day. I don't really speak for Chet, but he is bringing food and stuff.

Remember, people who donat get a prime parking spot.

Paypal is [email protected], make sure to get the 2 d's in there.

20, moving to ATL Sunday. hopefully i won't be busy on the 15th that i won't be able to come. can we just show up if we won't know until like the day before? with this new job i could be working 40hrs a week or 40 hrs a day! it is that uncertain. and you can never plan anything ahead of time unless it's like 6 months away.

I would suggest you come even if you don't get this car. It will be a great place to do research on your purchase. If you like the cars, you will be more than welcome.

Good Marcos, it'll be good to actually get to talk to you instead of watching you video tape your a55 off. Did you ever figure out how to mpeg that video?
