EDIT: Click your original link, copy the full URL in the address bar (which is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqf02v8jebc&feature=youtu.be) then delete the "&feature=youtu.be" off the end of it, so you have just "watch?v=mqf02v8jebc" at the end of the youtube link. I am not sure why but the forum does not link any link with "youtu.be" in the URL even if it is at the end of it.

Got it.. Youtube used to have a "long link" option, that worked for me.. Something telsl me that the ISSF might not like the bandwidth hit.. nice workaround Blake..

Now... anybody have a vid of the 12.0 final and the Pro Street final OUTSIDE of the car?

It may also be that since YouTube changed the format of their URL's a little, maybe the forum code needs to be updated to a newer version. If we ask nicely to the Admin maybe they can look into it, and see if that has been fixed/resolved.

Said the armchair driver... hear the squeal of my front tires? Steering was pretty ineffective. I had quite a bit of left turn cranked in to no avail, and "objects on camera were closer than they appear"..

I was hoping some footage was taken outside the car on the run I posted (12.0 final), but nothing has popped up yet. It did something similar on the Pro Street final a few mins beforehand.






















Real answer... my vag made me do it..

LOL The in car video was pretty exciting...and fun watching you start to reel him in.

Now, you want a hairy driving experience, try my last couple days of driving all around the UK. Oy! The roundabouts...but that's for another thread.

Round abouts are easy... merge as you should, any close calls get the finger... they will immediately know you're from out of town, and with one finger, know you are a Crazy American and stay clear.. The British government took the right to bear arms from the Brits a long time ago, you can be as big a d1ck as you wanna be.. :D..

Got my flag this weekend, perfect timing with veterans day. With all my work trips and getting the rental Mopars straightened out, I had completely forgotten I had ordered a flag thru my senator. I had it flown over the US Capitol and decided to request it be flown on Nov 3rd to make it special ;) Especially since it is going in my garage. They called to confirm the date for it to be flown and asked for the occasion, I jokingly said SSHS and it made it on the certificate, LOL.

To receive it on the weekend of Veterans Day makes it even cooler. And it's huge! Way bigger than the one I have in front of my house:

The only requirement is that the car be a 'heavyweight' ;) .

KW
lol The "German Rocket Ship" is mine. Thought I would help the event by entering 2 cars this year. It was either that, or my wife's Town and Country minivan. cwm3

The little car made weight - 4130, without the aide of added weight or sandbags mind you. 3.2 six shooter, rear wheel drive. 15.8 all day long, until it ran a 15.77 and was eliminated.

Hope to do it again next year, if allowed :)

Here's a video my wife made of the fun. Enjoy!
