Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches California Pre-Run Results: OFFICIAL MEET 7/24

Let's hear it for walking pneunomia! Woo Hoo!

Sorry I missed the pre run, I'm currently on bed rest for about another week while my body eradicates this wonderful <cough> bug.

I'll be at the event on the 24th. If I'm not better by then, send someone to shoot me.

the video looks ok. it was kinda a last minute, hey I should pull this out while we are rolling. Its about 13 minutes long total, so probably about half way into the canyon. It was a little choppy as I was holding it in my hand trying to keep myself from sliding around. It gives you a decent Idea of what the canyon has to offer, added in some color commentary by me and matt. Gets a good shot of the elise next to steves SVT at that signal right before the gas station. I am going to have my bro bring his nikon and tri pod, hopefully we can get some people set up in key locations for some pics and videos.

I think the idea about grouping would be a great idea. Make a brisk run through. Find somewhere that we can stop and then take groups of 3-5 out at a time.

I installed new brakes today, what a cow. It took me like 4 hours to bleed the damn brakes. but finally everything works.

111r. If I put the video on CD your not gonna have to pay me for it. Hopefully my brother can edit it and get it to a decent size (right now the entire raw video is about 50mb. but anyway if we get some really good video next week, ill have my bro edit it and have his GF put it onto DVDs. Anyway you guys have a good week.

any chance you can upload that 13 min video to the internet for some enjoyment to us nor-cal folks?

I will try and get at least something up on my website in the next couple days. After the run on saturday, doing 3 oil changes and a brake job yesterday, going to try and swap in my new headlights tonight, along with a new stereo, and do the throttle hang fix, school tomorrow, I wont get a chance to do anything until Wednesday. If worse comes to worse I will snail mail you out a copy of the cd. Rest assured im working on it.

thanks chbix, dont sweat the small stuff man

just entering my driveway today while the grage door was opening i opened my door to check ground clearence and i am afraid that it was less then an inch. i am terrified that i will not be able to get in and out with ease and have to park on the street. so i still need to take measurments and call a few places before i order struts. so upset this is becomming more problematic. almost just want to get stock's because it will at least be more user friendly then it is now. this morning i think i will try dealing with my cat's - CEL is on and i hate stairing at it (going to call local magnaflow & borla shops to try to save some $$$). plus my svt is running on the cool side that is also bothering me...

btw i looked into in-car camera harnesses and they almost always include a camera... so i think i wont persue that anymore... plus i would need a support to mount the bloody thing anyway

111r would this work ?

yeah thats what i would want. preferably not somthhing bolt on though just so i could use it in the elise and in my car for track/canyon duties. not to mention sometime soon my father wanted to install 4-point harnesses so that would be a ideal place for mounting on cross member. first one is nice but not leagal for scca road racing which could be a problem for later use due to times trial & auto-x i attend are usually hosted by scca... when i was searching all i could find was the "race-cam" and those dash mounted camera's used by johnny law... thanks though!

-itching to see the footage

patience young grasshopper, I will get you something tonight.

add me to the list.
