Here are some pictures from the March 22nd event at Crowder College. My wife took these with her new camera and experimented a lot with motion blur.

Follow the link to see the entire gallery. There is a video of my best run as well.

Enjoy!

Do you have a bad axle or a wheel bearing?

I can hear something on your video.

I am guessing that I have "flat spots" on the bearings as I have chased this noise before and can find nothing loose. The car sat parked from 1996 to 2006 and this could be part of it I suspect. Last year I could barely hear it when driven hard but with my new much stiffer suspension it is very noticeable.

Thanks, I was wondering how well the video works for people that are on cable/dsl, I only have EVDO (rev0 ~ 400-600Kb) and it takes a LONG time to buffer.

The camera I use for video is a Sony 4.1 megapixel point and shoot, Model DSC-P73, it is about 4 yrs old, and I mount it with http://tinyurl.com/datatoys suction mount on the inside of the windsheild. I set the camera to 640x480 fine and edited the video with Windows Movie Maker (WMV codec, set at 1.0Mbps) nothing special. I think the main thing is that the website doesn't compress as much as YouTube and some of the other free sites do. I have been hearing (and seeing) good things on http://www.vimeo.com and http://www.streetfire.net if someone is looking for a good free sites with high quaility to host video on. These are only a couple of sites, I am sure that there are plenty of others, but these were the two I was looking at until my wife built this page.

Impressive.


Now if someone alot more talented with Photo editting would just make Opie's pic famous.

Here's a quicky I mocked up.

We've been playing with the website this week and now have a new link to get to the gallery; it should be fewer clicks, too.

The new link is http://www.borismedia.com

This has also been fixed in the post above.

Thanks for all the kind words. Natasha probably won't make the April event, but looks forward to taking more pictures at future events.
