Might try running another one facing rearward. It's only time and money.

Love the videos Todd, makes me jealous, such a great motivator to keep me plodding along on my car

Just curious what you use to take the video?

Ugly sob, huh Payton? I've still got my old set of R888's in the garage. They have been rode hard and put away wet but they would still work on the track only.(Fronts are a little flat spotted and the rears fell victim to my right foot) Thanks for the heads up.. I'm going to shread these tires 1st. I may have to speed up their life expectancy.

Ed, I have the Go Pro HD Hero. Only have two gripes. You better put a full charge in it before every outing and the videos don't play back on either of my computers. They must be formatted through youtube before the video and sound play correctly. My advice to you is to keep it fun and take your time. I've enjoyed the journey and all the great experiences. You can push to hard and it becomes more like work. I've done this to myself a few to many times. I'm constantly talking myself out of this or that nowadays! I need a leash.

Can't help ya on the full charge thing.

But have you tried editing the vid with a "3rd party" program before uploading to youtube? GoPro recommends this program that I use and it works great for me. I noticed you could've cut off the dead time before and after the action, and this program makes is super easy to do.

I always appreciate a nice power slide though.

I was thinking the same thing Dave.
Car sounds killer Todd. Good luck with the tires bud.

In the first vid it sounded like there was a 50cc motorcycle reving its engine behind you. The 2nd vid showed how 200 tread wear tires really dont do our cars justice. Always fun watching someone slide around though.

We always have 2-3 shifter carts show up. Talk about bang for the buck. I'm done running SCCA autocrosses on 320 treadwears. I just haven't figured out my direction just yet.

What's the word on the street about the Nitto NT05's?

The word is they don't fit my rims and I'm not interested in street tires no mo.
