Motorplex meet.

Here are a few video clips from the drags:

Boostzor's 14.36 run, watch that exhaust go for it! (4.4MB)

InitialD's 14.04 run. (3.6MB)

Gradenkos 14.04 run, mmm love the sound of a 3" straight thru exhaust... (4.4MB)

http://www.iinet.net.au/~bsisko/drags0208_Gradenko.avi

Thats all we got before we ran out of tape :-(

They're compressed using DivX 5.0.2. The file sizes are huge cause I couldn't bare to lower the res anymore than 500x400. Even so, the quality is pretty poor. Anyone know how to compress DivX without those pesky artifacts coming through? (look at spinning wheels or fast pans)

I've got a few more clips lined up ready to edit, like Boostzors incident and Miss Autosalon

Edit: Silly me, here I was thinking that our dv cam took progressive footage, turns out its interlaced. Only mega buck cams (read greater than $10k) record progressive. I was treating it as progressive video, hence all the interlaced artifacts. Anyway, i've uploaded new copies as of 6:30pm (perth time). Nothing different about the clips expcept they look a little nicer.

some of that was probably my dodgy camera work. Fast pans, hey how bout uploading the tight ass shots...

[Gradenko]

I'm not sure thats entirely politcally correct, deesh. The ladys may not like it

keep the vids coming

we may have to revise initailD's time though he broke by .2 or a second on his 14.04 run tut tut

[Guest Rhino]

I need to see my car

[R31 POWER]

Does anyone know what time the R31 got.

[initialD]

i think i'll just take wat it says.....14.04,

nyways i was hoping to do better than that, but taking into a count it was my first time, and i'm running on near bursting tyres (was down to the thread)

and i only had 3 runs, i got no compaints.

[Guest Rhino]

I think the R31 cracked a high 14 towards the end of the day.

Oh, I didn't notice that. Still, seeing as timing doesn't include reaction time and it only starts when the car leaves the line, I think 14.04s should stand.

RadiuM, can I take you up on the offer of webspace? I don't think my account has enough space for the next clip I'll have finished.

[skyzerr33]

except when u brake

when u leave b4 .4 of a sec the time is taken off your final et

re action time is the time it takes u to break the first laser beam, et starts from when u break the 2nd. so leaving early does reduce your time.

but a 14.2 still is good and on par with all initald's other runs.

Hey nothing wrong with those vids gradenko there wicked :-)

thanks

Oh, ok. I didn't know that. 14.2 it is then

Osc@r, with your mods you should pull around 13.5 sec and below, depending on launch of course. I also have a T28, exhaust, pod filter but no FMIC and 0.8ish bar and managed 13.616.

Now got FMIC but yet to go down to the plex.
