Tim Comeau Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 If you guys want to get together before the race and have some beer and talk about the track, different lines, the curbs, strategies, etc., I have some great video of the track, shot from my roof top. This is my favorite configuration at BW and I believe it's the best utilization of the track features. Now, I'm not saying I'm in a position to teach you guys, I'm just suggesting we get together and bounce ideas and experiences off each other. Unfortunately, I don't have it on CD to mail out now. I have it on Mini DV tapes, but I don't own a camcorder yet. I may be able to again borrow the camera that I used to shoot the video. Who else has a Mini DV camcorder? How 'bout that brewery in UTC, "On Tap?" on a weekday evening, or Friday night at the track hotel or restaurant? Whaddaya guys think?

Spec-944#70 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I like the idea but I think I'll be arriving at the track late Fri nigt or early Sat morning. Plus I may be camping at the track as they have decent facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWho Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Tim why don't you make us some cd's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 I could, if I knew how, but we wouldn't be able to talk about it while watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David J Marguglio Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yes, an additional benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benbow Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Tim, I've got a mini DV camera if you need to borrow it for the track talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Comeau Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Got it. Is that brewery ok with you guys? It's kind of in the middle of SD? I wonder if their TV's can work with the RCA jacks? Hmmmmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfoley Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Anything near UTC is okay with me. Let's do it soon ... I need a fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benbow Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Wanna do it at my house? I know I'm very close to where Dave and Mark live. What do you think Tim? I know MY TV works with MY camcorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David J Marguglio Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Chris' beer...err...house works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWho Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I believe Chris lives in Carlsbad - that's a lot closer than UTC. I'd love to see the video and bring munchies. When? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfoley Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Chris lives in Carmel Valley which is about 15 minutes south of Carlsbad. Chris - Why don't you pick a day that works for you since we're using your house. I'll bring pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benbow Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Let's say Wednesday at 6PM. Does this work for everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjgrow Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I've got a baseball game till 6:30, but can over ~ 7:00. Thursday's wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfoley Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Wed at 7PM is good for me. Thurs at 7PM is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Wed or Thurs at 6, 6:30, 7:00 pm is good for me. However, Wed. 19th, evening is the same as the tech session at Symbolic. I'd hate to break hearts by missing the chance to see some factory racing Porsches. Chris, your cam corder is for Mini DV tapes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWho Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Wed 6pm is good. I'm heading to the Belly Up for Johnny Winter after the tech session. Chris - you sending out directions and what can I bring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benbow Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Lets make it Thursday at 6PM. That way it won't conflict with baseball or the Symbolic tech session. Tim, Yes it is a mini DV camcorder. I'll PM everyone with the address so you can do a Map Quest search for directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Also, the tech session might be at AJ USA. Conflicting info in the PCA magazine. Thursday at 6pm is good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
