Looks like a total blast Scotty! I'd love to do one of those.
Re: Project RS - ScottyB - 09-15-2013
do it man! it doesn't even have to be your car. find a local racing organization and talk to the members about a co-drive. then you don't even have to worry about risking your daily/nice car out there.

Don't listen to him, do it in the C5 with the t-tops out, don't be a pussy.

Looks like a frigging blast! And congrats on the 1st place finish, sounds like you are killing it.

we'll see, 2 fast regulars in street tire were absent. my left foot braking is haggard. but its encouraging and just makes me want to get out and go faster.

video of the course from another car (corolla/AE86). was about 90 seconds in the morning, 80 in the afternoon due to some changes. we got about 8 runs total and i could have gone nuts with fun runs at the end of the day but had to split.

just so people are aware....this thing had stretched street tires, coilovers and about 2 inches of ground clearance. utterly unsuited to the task....but still had a great time and drove the wheels off of it.
Re: Project RS - JPolen01 - 09-18-2013
That looks like so much fun.
Re: Project RS - BLINGMW - 09-18-2013
where's your race-winning video? Does MM need to chip in and buy you a go-pro so we can see how it is done?

yes. yes it does
i promise to get really sideways and do victory donuts if it happens.

you can easily justify a gopro as a baby cost. "But sweetheart, I want to video *Insert name here* in the *pool, ocean, snow, etc*, don't you want to remember those times?"

oh don't worry i'm working that angle like a boss, my friend. :lol:
in all seriousness though, its probably something i'll just wait on until there's a holiday deal or something because i'm gonna want a couple different mounts for car stuff and mountain biking. is hero3 the way to go these days? or is a used hero2 still a good buy?
Re: Project RS - JustinG - 09-20-2013
Id go 3, better lens, wifi built in. I want to upgrade to a 3 black edition. But I have other purchases to make, like a ps4 and a new tv.
Re: Project RS - xvxax - 09-20-2013
The metering is better for direct sunlight, and the microphone is so much better.The microphone alone is worth the extra dough for action sports.

+1 on external mic -- I'm using a cheap Sony I found on Amazon prime. It's taped to the back of my Sparco driver-side seat in this video: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://vimeo.com/72777371">https://vimeo.com/72777371</a><!-- m -->
EDIT: Hero2 being used with spot metering on. I went Hero2 because I'm cheap and didn't want to pay the extra money for the mic adapter when you use the Hero3.
Re: Project RS - ScottyB - 09-20-2013
awesome, thanks guys. i absolutely hate in-car videos that start off with great sound and then once out of first gear just turns to WHARRGARRBLSLHLKSJ for the remainder of the run. i originally thought i'd run an external mike through the trunk and tape to the back bumper for some good exhaust sound, but if the internal mike is that good, then F it. i'd rarely be doing something where I go over 60mph anyway.
i'm not a fancy guy but the wifi sounds pretty badass.
looks like my dashcam and gopro fund is maxed out for the year :lol:
Re: Project RS - JPolen01 - 09-20-2013
