I hate to be someone who backs out at the last minute, and I hate to miss this cruise as I've been looking forward to it all year, but I'm going to have to back out. I'm getting sick with an ear infection or something like that.

Sorry guys! Please take some pictures!

Can you make a mount out of PVC that goes between the headrest's? That's what they're doing in the 3's.

miztic
10-12-2008, 09:47 AM

The camera shifted a lot, so that part had the most 'road' in the frame lol .. I'll look and see if i can find another clip..

hehe imagine my neck having to edit it all ;)

I was back a ways from the road, the camera made it look a lot closer, even if that car did an emergency stop, they wouldn't have stopped in front of me by the time I'd decided to go.. its all good :eyetwitch

I did consider using gum :uhh: to stabalize it mcGuyver style .. for about 1 second ..

miztic

Thats what I was thinking of going for.. or a PVC mount that mounts to the passenger seat... in the end tho, I found an official suction cup camera mount that screws into the cam, so it shouldn't shift anymore.. i will be able to film from the back window to get the shifts, or the front windows for nothing but road (better for a cruise)..

mdw1000
10-12-2008, 10:31 AM
they do make camera mounts for track use as well. I've seen them advertised in Grassroots Motorsports. I mention it because you've talked about doing some track stuff.

miztic

yeah, I ran into those, most of the track use ones basically clamp to your roll cage, which I won't get (adds too much weight) ..
One of the coolest rigs is on this site: http://www.filmtools.com/carmounts.html
but its too much money right now :)

The windshield suction cup thing will work, the suction isn't the problem, it was my using a string to tie the camera to a gps mount, the camera shifted in the string.. so a screw-in mount suction cup will do the job I think.. I'm gonna find out :)

mdw1000
10-12-2008, 12:19 PM
I know there are other ones that work on the track without the roll cage. PM devildog1679 for info on the one he used. He was using it at a track day at autobahn back in May. I also have a friend with a M3 that has a mount. If you'd like, I can contact him to get the info on it. I know neither one of them have roll cages.

miztic
10-12-2008, 12:31 PM
The one I ordered should work good :)
but yeah.. I'd like to see their setups.. thanks, let me know :)

edit: too bad you couldn't make the cruise mdw

Hmm well i've been trying to plan that Augostino's meet. However, Sonic's in Aurora might make a good meet and greet place. Depends on whats preffered...sit down with drinks....or outside in stalls. Opinions?

I wouldn't think so since they don't impose any time limits. If anything so we're not TOO rude we could always congregate in the giant parking lot behind it lol

there were cones in the back lot a couple of weekends ago.

we sorta liberated a few of them to umm.... block off a street:dunno:


Sonic would be a cool place to meet up. We can go on late on a saturday nite and watch the cops chase the street racers from parking lot to parking lot :) lol

Man, I can't believe I had to miss this cruise!!! I was watching the videos and kept shifting with my foot!!! I am dying to get out there and burn some carbon (all in the name of good rotary maintenance, of course!)

Something is just wrong with our household: we have two 8s sitting in the garage and neither of us could make the cruise! :banghead:

BlueRen has a homemade camera mount that is super stable. I'll see if it's in the garage and post up a pic. He uses it for track days ... it mounts in the trunk, goes through the pass-thru and sits in the rear console.

Two 8s and no cruise, that's just wrong!! :lol:

mounting the rig in the trunk is a GREAT idea.. i figured it would be too low inside the pass-thru.. I'll have to see the setup I guess .. sounds like that might be easy to make with some pvc bits :)
Thanks! I look forward to the pics

full face motorcycle helmets work great for autox. no club has ever checked and you can get them for about $20-30 on craigslist. they were even cool with it at autobahn last time i was there and i hear gingerman doesnt check either

http://www.soloracer.com/rcisahelmet.htmlI perfer an open face helmet. My current one is a Bell SA1990 and I'm due for an upgrade. I will probably buy a G-Force.
http://www.gforce.com/products/helmets/3001.php

At one time there was some question about what would happen if a cars air bag went off. The speculation was that it might do damage to the vertebrae in the neck. I never heard the outcome of that discussion. I can see the need for a full face helmet on a motorcycle (I have gone down on a bike) and open cockpit race cars. When you are surrounded by metal and belted in, I think an open face will suffice.

Thats the way I read it. The Rosen location was a meeting point to caravan to the Park District site.


I believe this is correct. In regards to BBQ, I think a couple are trying to bring grills.

Wow, sorry guys I totally dropped the ball on reposting this meet. I mentioned it a couple weeks ago and then left again. Glad someone got it up!

are we makin this a bbq

It is a BBQ, but the grills seem to be lacking in quantity, so if you want to bring yours again they will probably appreciate it.

They also mentioned that if they don't end up with grills then everyone could go out somewhere after the park.

Happy birthday Aero8! Wish I could be there tomorrow night. I will be there in spirit!

Thanks!

I may be there in spirit as well. My plan was to come out, but something else has come up that may take priority. We'll see.

Did that come with the touring package or is there a 'maniac' package? :yesnod:

maniac is a state of mind.
and it starts with the word MAN, so it is at all times permissable to be a MANiac.

Do you guys usually have meets pretty often?

Do you guys usually have meets pretty often?

Depends on the time of year, but the answer is yes for the most part. Well, I guess that actually depends on your definition of "pretty often"

This year we had meets or an event about twice a month from March through September. After that it dropped down slightly and now for Dec-Feb we don't have specific dates set for things yet. The winter months are typically random meets when someone says "Hey let's have a meet!" Most of the time people will show up, so if you are still looking to get out, say it and people will probably join! If you don't want to say it, which some people don't, pm me. We can work out a time that you think you would probably be able to make it and then I'll post it. :)

If you want to see what we did this year, CLICK HERE (http://www.freewebs.com/evolvchicago/upcomingevents.htm) and scroll down. Also, check out the photo gallery if you haven't been to the site yet, you can see the turn out from some of our meets.

*********

To All Members:
Keep you eyes open early next year for the 2009 Schedule! It is under development now. If you have any recommendations for meet locations or ideas for events you might like to see, send me a pm so they can be considered.

When I got home, from the Friday run, I discovered one of my rear tires resembled something like a racing slick. Since these are all-season tires and I planned on using them this winter, this is not good. New Continentals are to be installed tomorrow.

two weeks ago, I had one of my rear Khumos start to go on me as I was driving to work - I knew the tread was like you said "resembling a racing slick", but I was planning on replacing them over the winter and was trying to get a few more days out of them before i put my snows on - needless to say, I was able to limp home (never lost air) and put my snows on right away...
