Not sure if the video will embed Cannon HD cam with microphone on the rear license plate. Was pretty cool to get a lap even if it was at a crawl. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkkri0Q6VA8[/ame] . . . . Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very nice video, Tim! I love the sound, great idea to put the microphone on the rear. Where is this track? looks like an urban route.
Lot's of Ferrari's at the event. Here is a photo of my F355 on the track. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tim: I missed you there. Would have liked to say hello. Ferrari's were definitely the dominant car there. There looked to be maybe 9 - 10 355's in the group. Funny thing with the track. My buddy brought his classic '55 Rolls Royce and won a lottery spot for the coveted track run (limited to 50 cars only). He was told that track officials would only let "exotic" looking cars on the track for the run. "Exotic like a Ferrari" is what they said to be specific. I guess we know where the lambos, R8, Vipers and the like rank. Ferrari want-to-be's!
Yes sorry I missed you, they did keep us busy until the race started then we hit the Tacate booth during the race. Your car looked great !!! If you see me on the road just chase me down
Very cool Tim. I noticed that you drove around the parking area for quite a while just so you could find a space that you wouldn't have to back into.
I was trying to get back out on the track, did not work out but I was able to bolt out and get home in 6 minutes
No Mas Wabos....wife keeps mine in a safe deposit box in Bronx NY.. See above answer LOL, If I still had them they would need CHP to pit my off the track It was painful for sure.
That was awesome. How/where did you mount the camera's? Would love to get a set of these for when I do a rally.
Thanks Steve Was pretty strait forward. Mounted it to the windshield inside with a Fat Gecko Camera and Camcorder Mount from Delkin. Cannon Vixia HD cam those hero cams just dont cut it for nice video, the raw footage looks broadcast quality on the plasma. Polarizing lens to cut the glare from the window Microphone Audio-Technica ATR-3350 mounted to the rear plate with a windscreen foam to cut the wind noise. Then just adjust the microphone input to where you like it best. We have it set about 60% gain. I cant take full credit I have friends that told me what to do who are in the industry. The basics are simple. Let me know if you need more info, it sure was fun and the video is priceless when its clean.
Are you saying I could have driven my 355 on the Long Beach Grand Prix circuit?? What about next year?
Mother's Car Care products sponsored an 'exotic" car event at the Grand Prix. 6th year doing so. Cost was $140 that included 2 VIP grandstand tickets, lunch for 2, special paddock parking and the fun of driving 100+ down the 101 freeway with 100 other cars to the event. I believe that they had a total of something close to 150 cars attend and they held a drawing for 50 cars to take a lap on the track. My friend won in the lap drawing but was not allowed to take his 1953 Rolls on the track so we did the lap in my 355. They plan to do it again next year.
Thank you Its a tubi that I opened up and packed with ceramic and stainless steel wrapping. pretty much a strait through silencer with no spark errestor. Seems to work quite well Image Unavailable, Please Login
