Default The official HWFMR uninspired droving video thread

This video, shot with a camera of craptacular quality, shows my rookie droving skills at Cresson this past weekend. It does actually capture me passing people, but they were driving at a snails pace, and I couldn't help it.

Nomex is on, have at it.

Holy Flat Track, where is my Dramamine??? You will be noticeably faster with tires that are not square. And, most people don't have the nerve to drive straight toward a nuclear blast!

Seriously, hard to tell much about the droving with that video, but you did appear to sneak up on a couple of apexes. Why were those other cars stopped on the track like that?

You can get round tires? Where??? The camera & mount I used are crap. I'm going to be scheming and conniving for better equipment there.

I think the people I passed were confused by the red flags. They later told me they thought that meant slow down to a near standstill. I explained to them that the red flag was probably meant for someone else anyway, and that next time they should just keep going.

Apex?????

You'd probably be faster if you turn down the music so that you could hear what your instructor was telling you. I couldn't even hear your engine over all of that crap.

Believe me, the sound from the camera was nowhere near as good as the picture, hence the music.

Stoker Ace huh, I think I missed that one.

Thanks VR!

Where you in Blue with me? I was glad to see I wasn't one of the snails....

You really want to waste a click? I think you need THIS soundtrack for your video!

That movie was terrible. The book, however, was great.

Not one of Burt Reynolds finer flicks. Course he didn't do too many fine ones.

Never said it was a good flick. But it did have a Charlie Daniels Band song for the title and "the fastest chicken in teh south"
