Dow ! broke out , against the annoying australian exchampion .馃槀
Was that off a tape , that you put on to your computer , Dave .
I'm looking at a sony dvdirect recorder unit , burns direct to disc .

hey dude,
yeah it is off an old tape.
Quality is pretty poor,
but at least the old footage wont get lost in time.

I have a few more, including Rodney's 8 second pass,
but have to reduce the size a bit, or wait 5 hours to upload.

Here is the converter I got:

I never really got a full powered pass,
its best being only 9.94 @147,(pan-car 9.76@146.91)
but I thnk Peter has some footage of a 10.17@142mph,
on the day it crashed.

I dont have ANY good action shots of the car,
but have contacted Angus MacMaster from Blacktrack Photography,
and he said he would look through his archives.
That was over 8 years ago I crashed that damn thing.

Great vids Dave, thanks for sharing.

Might need to get one of those convertors, did you get it online or can we find it in a shop somewhere?

My vids are getting old and crappy last I tried to veiw any so it would be nice to save whats left 馃憤.

dangerous 路

Yeah, just ordered it on the Bogpond link I posted above.
I am sure that a place like JB hifi,
or harveys or clives would have them on the shelf though.

Too right.... The interior deco had a style all its own too.... The Carrillo rod as a door stop was an especially nice touch 馃槀
