Here's Mike's crash - no major damage or injuries. B***'s 4-speed bustin' burnout - play this one LOUD! The Fly's squirrly burnout!
I got it to work, you just have to wait awhile. That really ****s! I got the worst feeling watching that.
That ****S, I saw the pics before but seeing it happen gives you that sinking feeling! I`m glad it wasnt hurt anymore than it was.
now that hurts! i had a front row seat and it still looks bad. that was one thing i thought i would never see.
Yep that hurts ta watch! Credit fer the vid goes ta Outkasts CC member Eric Johnson. A big ol' thanks ta 62buford and his connection fer burnin the VHS ta DVD and all his work fer gittin it posted here! That **** sounded ez, didn't it Blake? Ha HA Ha!
I don't have any, but there are lots out there - I'm sure someone will post a few. KOOLKAT does have some good video of the left side coupe as it turned around and drove off the track - only visible damage is the bent hub cap and extreme camber angle of the left front wheel. KOOLKAT - we tore into those 12-packs after you left! Computer video sux! Check your email.
Damn, that's cool. At least it's not the whole side of the car (or the TOP!). Bet you had to change shorts afterwards... I almost saw a B/Gas '37 Pontiac with a '41 Willys front end do the dance at the end of the track, scared me so much I didn't take a picture with the camera I was holding.
if you right click the link and select 'save target as' it will download then you can watch it... cool vids... too bad it was nothing 'positive'... would like to have seen some completed runs, you know..?? glad everyone is ok though..!!
HAHAHAHA!!! That's awesome! Man, she sure was singin' there for a second...why is it that stuff always breaks when the car is runnin' at its best? For what it's worth, I've got another Saginaw ready to slip in that should be in in the next couple of days. Thanks for taking the time to post that Blake...I'd never heard what my car sounded like from the outside during a burnout before. I can detect the distinct but faint sound of the geardrive in there too...*****in'!!
Good clips. Its tough to see everthing when your there. I caught the tail end of everthing and the clips let me see it all.
Thanks for posting the vids Blake. Man, Mike's wall kisser is hard to watch. Thank God he was A-OK and his coupe was'nt beat up any worse. Drag race Gods where kind to us that day.

62buford - what did ya'll do to convert vhs to digital... i found out what my problem was with the video...the camera records stills to digital media...but there is a fixed tape in the camera that saves ****og video...you can copy it to a vhs...thats it....
The clips are still there - may have to give them a sec to load. 30ROADSTER - you'll need a digital/****og converter to go from tape to DVD or other digital file. We used by buddy's setup, and he uses a Sony Digital 8 camera as a converter for these clips - VHS to camera, camera to .MOV files on his Apple computer, then .MOV to .AVI files on my computer.
I use a converter that runs off of USB its called DAZZEL. I plug in the sony hi-8 and it takes stills off the tape/photo feature or you can pull video etc... I bought it like 4 yrs ago and ive been useing it ever since. You can still buy em at places like BEST BUY etc... I can pm you more info if you need it 30ROADSTER... Tuck
