Me driving at MAM last weekend. Got some help from an INSANE BMW M Coupe driver. It's nearly 9 minutes long, but it's worth it Pay particular attention to the 6 minute mark....

No takers? Any feedback would be cool. Always looking to improve both my driving and video editing. I know the video is a bit long, but I wanted to capture most of Eric's comments.

Copy and paste all that stuff in the "embed" box that's located to the right of the video screen.

Thanks!

Most other forums I frequent have the "embed" tag disabled and use custom defined tags instead.

April 22, 2007 Texas World Speedway Clockwise Yellow Run Group, Session 3

At 3:12 (fast forward to avoid the warm up lap) I gave a point by to a heavily modified Corvette with 575 rear wheel horsepower on slicks while driving my 165 rear wheel horsepower Exige on street tires.

(I should have given him a point by before the end of the main straight, but missed it because I didn't see him back there. You can certainly see how fast he can gain on me in the straights!)

At 8:41 you can start to see the vette again...

At 16:00 the checkered flag is thrown.

I spent Monday cleaning Hosiers out of my grill, splitter, windshield, side scoops, etc.

This is a little video I made with pictures and in-car video from our round the country trip. First time using the windows movie program and I am not very artistic but hope you enjoy.

Crudson,
Excellent choice of music and a good times on the road vibe. Nice people and nice cars. Two thumbs up.

There is no other car for any amount of money that I would rather own and drive.

Cool! ...and a cool ending, too!

Feels good to be reminded that others love it as much as I.

Hi all,

It's been a LONG time since I've posted here. I took the STi to the track (over a year). I've been tracking my Lotus Elise instead. This time I had a "hankering" to toss the Subie around.

No doubt, I'm actually faster in the STi. The Lotus is a lot of fun, but it is a more "technical" car and more difficult to drive near the limits. The power and torque of the STi add to the fun.

Anyway... here's a video I threw together. I know some don't like music on a track video, but without it, all you'd hear is wind noise.

Click here:

Mike

PS... Crudson... Loved the video of the trip around the country. Very nice!

A great example of how driving a good line is more important than horsepower.....
