| Track Day Video Several of you noticed in the photos I recently posted from my Thunderhill trackdays that I had a video camera setup on the front of my bike. It was my first time using the Twenty20 video unit that I had received for Christmas, and it worked pretty well. I'm probably also going to set up similar quick-mount brackets on the lower panel of the bike and the tail section behind the seat for some additional angles. Here is a link to a video I just produced from some of the footage I shot. [Right-Click and Save for best results] The rider you see out in front of me is Mark Buckelew, riding his new GSXR-750. Mark is a guy whose posts I had seen on various Ducati internet forums, and met for the first time while down at T-Hill. Great guy and a very good rider! |

| Re: Track Day Video Nice work on the video and on the track. Which editing software did you use? I like the combo angles, I need to get some footage like this to carry me over the winter  |

| Re: Track Day Video That looks like a fun track! All that run-off. The ones around here have no run-off. |

| Re: Track Day Video Is there something wrong with your clutch?  It sounded a bit noisy...of course it may have been trying to add in more cow bell to the music.  |

You really should take the change out of your pocket before getting on the track.
That was great - Thanks for sharing |

| Re: Track Day Video The video quality will be MUCH better on the next one - I didn't have a FireWire cable, so it really lost a lot of the image quality. Next track day is Spokane in early June, so I'll have to make a cool movie with my buddies then.  |

No, I haven't been yet, but the owners of Ti2TT have, and tell me it's great! The new section & run-off rework is supposed to be completed before we go there in Sep. You can go there when it's not rented out, and pay a small amount to ride it I've heard. | |

See the guy #777 keep getting by him in turn 1, then he finally takes him in turn 2, and doesn't let him come back up, hehehe. That was a great battle to watch!  | |
