Also, for those of you who would like good audio of the exhaust, we could stick one on the back bumper. The sound quality is amazing.

Sounds like a plan, I also think having someone out front with a DSLR might be a good idea.

Yeah, there were at least 4-5 DSLRs plus about 4-5 go pros and my sony cam corder. The amount of video taken from the meet this year was nuts. Now as to if any of it is good etc remains to be seen. I need to see about getting the files from Creto's drive (I think he has mostly everyone's mine excluded.) and then uploading most of the small stuff to the website if people want to dl it. Will that make you guys happy?

Nothing will ever make me happy that's why I'm still single.

But yea that would be awesome if we could DL the photos. I have Steve's gopro vids so that's holding me over for now.

PMed FTP details. If anyone else would like to upload files let me know. For anyone else that I've given FTP creds to, they are the same.

I will try to get that video up there tonight, but its not great. Steve chose that moment to tell me my DSLR wasn't autofocusing anymore and I was too busy fiddling with it to notice A group incoming..... Though it was still pretty cool.
