I can but I was hoping that Spin9k would take the lead seeing that this is his neck of the woods. Plus that would free me up to try out the AutoXcam and get some nice video shots of everyone.
Or we can swap places half way through the cruise so I can get some shots from both ends of the pack.

Looking foward to the run. Just an FYI to everyone running snow tires, please be careful in the twisties. I know I scared myself a few times "forgetting" I have snow tires on and taking some quick turns. The DSC helped me but I don't want anyone to get hurt or hurt their cars. Just a friendly FYI....

The weather looks like it is going to be OK and I'll be looking forward to meeting with everyone tomorrow.
Don't forget to bring an FRS radio if you own one.

Another note...I checked my oil level before I took off for the meet...checked out fine. After the 250 miles of "fun" driving, I checked it again when I got home. I had to add 1/2 quart. Must of ran her hard...hahaha

Good ride and a great spring day in Feb no less! What could be better? Feels like it's going to be a great year for 8s and their owners!
Here's to the next time guys.. Roy did you ever get a tally of who's attending Rev-it-up? Hey it's only a few weeks away heehee...

Thanks for making the meet a success!!!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made it to the meet today. We had a nice turn out and a few surprise visitors which are always welcome.
Roger, thanks for taking the lead and sharing your familiarity with the area. It wouldn't have been the same without you.
This was the first time I've used the AutoXcam with a group so I'm not sure how the video turned out. I haven't had a chance to review the tapes but with a little luck I should end up with something worth editing. It will probably take me a few days to piece it all together. I'll give everyone a heads up when its done.
If you happened to take any photos today, would you mind sending them to me? Send me a PM & I'll give you my e-mail address. I'm asking because I'll be compiling a CD with a bunch of stuff from today's meet and it would be nice to have everyone's photos in one place. If you want a copy of the CD just send me a PM with your address and I'll mail one to you.
You can see a few more photos on my CarDomain page.

Justin,
I just finished up the video and will be burning the CDs tomorrow. As long as you can get them to me before 2pm tomorrow I'll add them to the CD.

I think the final edit came out fairly well and its tone is a bit frantic like a music video. When you have had a chance to view it (Speed Racer / Videos / NE RX8 coastal drive 2004.mov), let me know what you think about it. So far I've sent it to:
• Gyro
• my10ae
• markh711
• NAVILESRX8
• Omicron
• RPIRX8
• Spin9k
• Tigger
• Vivid Racing
If you'd like a copy please send me a PM with your address.
P.S. You'll need a recent version of Quick Time to view the video.

Tigger just picked up his copy and another one has been mailed to Gyro. So it looks like Chris gets to be the first to view the infamous video. :p

Speed Racer,
The CD is fantastic, and the video's shot from your back bumper are really awesome. I think you're going to need to get a front bumper mount!
Thanks for all the work putting this together. For those of you have not yet received your CD's I think you're in for a treat. It contains a lot of great additional photos and articles as well as all the video's.
Again, thanks to Speed Racer and all that contributed!
