This is very cool.
I spent about 3 hours watching them all!

My apologizes to Kathy!

After studying the vids (everyone) ... any suggestions on what angles work best ... or is it best to just try and get as long a run as possible. I thought the perfectly head-on slo mo clips of the long slalom from El Toro might have been the most informative angle?

I love watching the weight shifts, wheel spin, wheels in the air, contact patch both on and off, over driving, and the great drivers hitting the mark.
The close up 3/4 shots with most of the car's wheels in the shot are my favorites.

I couldn't see any oversteer correction steering wise.

My best run through that section on Sat. was a perfect drift all the way through the chute, controlled by counter steering. Only about 8 degrees sideways. Flat too.

my favorite shots are head on (from the front or the back) shots of the outside tires(not necessarily head on of the car) of a turn at peak lateral acceleration with the outside tires in direct sunlight.

i've spent hours looking at probably 40 frames of video total......over and over and over.

so cool

like 0:17-0:20 of this video. if only the left rear tire stayed in frame all the way through. this 3 seconds of video is going to cost me a weekend of working on the car.

1:17-1:22 is pretty good too.

and 5:29-5:40 would have been bitchin if I could have seen the right side tires more head on.

Obsessive... party of 1... your table is ready.

(Wait, better make room at that table for me too.)

and am i the only one that keeps waiting for camera to pan across one of the course workers in super slow mo like picking their nose or something?

There are a number of clips still of the Berrymobile, Toby's and Mike's car that I haven't posted yet ... trying to spread out the uploads. I'm almost finished with the "other" clips.

There was one video that I've been warned not to post ... of a course worker running into frame at 300 fps to grab a cone. Think movie "10" and maybe there should be a Gals Only forum so that we Guys can have our own forum.

I also spend most of my time looking at what the wheels and tires are doing and how the suspension is reacting.

Thanks Mako - my video is full of lots of oversteery awesomeness! It's the only thing the car does well!

I was standing next to the Ekstrand palace on wheels when the first stage dropped off. I estimate it went 35-40 feet in the air. It was literally launched.

We have cone "blood" on the rear bumper as you'd expect, but it also streaks up along the rear fender *above* the bumper. How'd it do that?!?

15 seconds hang time. Marshall - how high did that go?

Well.. the 300 FPS thing mights be partialy to blame for that, haha. ;)

That's around 1.8 seconds hang time @ 300FPS, impressive!!
