you sure did!! They are too long for you tube so i need to cut them down. Then the chore of an excruciatingly long upload time period.
I'll get there though i have one from each run 2nd run was better (obviously) but Optrix overlay did not capture speed. Have to investigate why, maybe i can recover it

I can post long videos at you tube. If you get them to me I'll load them without editing.

Yesterday perfect weather was marked by lots of CHP sightings. Today I kept expecting them to be hiding so I slowed before their hiding places. They were not out yet as it turned out.

I did have an 80% clear road so fun was indeed had. Oddly a BMW Z3 owner was so slow, but did let me by. Normally Z3's & Z4's are better driven.

Without going crazy I lined up all my turns to my satisfaction and that made me happy. Let's face it, I am my own worst critic. So I am in a good mood as I type.

I too may need a bit of help but I think BC will upload them to JARblues' space and I will load them from there to Youtube. I'm over my head 21st century wise.

It's very simple. I will try to set it all up today (or tonight) and PM directions as soon as it's ready. Basically, I will give you a link that you will open up in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and allow you to browse the FTP folder like any normal folder on your computer. Then you can copy the file and paste it in the FTP or you can just drag and drop it into the folder. I will provide more explicit details in the PM, and I will try to include some screenshots if possible.

Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to upload to Youtube directly from the FTP site because it will require a user name and password. You may have to access the FTP to download the file to your computer after BC uploads it to the FTP. Then you can upload it from your computer to Youtube. I know it's not ideal, but it's probably the best option.

Mt was saying he is able to upload full length videos. He shouldn't need to download anything if he's just going to post the full length vid. If you really want some editing done, let me know - I have plenty of software to do that type of thing so no one has to purchase software.

70 mph?!? You speed demon, you! I'm sure next time you'll hit the aerodynamically limited top speed of 150ish

Picking my wife up from a girl's night out the other weekend, we were coming home at 4 am, and I found myself doing over 90 on a flyover to put some distance between me and a not-so-sober driver I passed earlier. Thankfully, Melody was pretty wasted - if she had been sober and paying attention, she would have been hitting me and screaming at me to slow the fvck down. I set cruise at 75 once I merged on the highway

Your first track day is all about learning, not top speed - that's the goal for later

but she can drink safely at a bar that makes excellent cocktails out of extravagant items and walk or cab to various nearby friends' places to crash. Or I can pick her up from their places if she wants a ride home.
