This video was shot with a Sony TRV260 Digital8 Camera mounted to the trunk lid of my car. The shutter wasn't set correctly, so it was a bit washed out, and we were missing the stabilizer on the mount so it's kinda shaky, but otherwise it looks awesome. Standard mpg2

The video is of BlueGrimRX8 chasing my car from just before the TN/NC state line to where we got stuck behind some cruisers. The speeds average about 65 on the straights and 30 through the corners.

I have much more footage which I am editing for a video about 10 minutes long that I will get up here when I'm finished. Enjoy!

Is it next year yet? Man, I really wish I could have been there, that was excellent looking!

Only error I had was a warning about trouble downloading codec yet it ran rather well with a bit of brief hessitations. I saved it to desktop before viewing.
