Here are a bunch of videos we shot at RaceLegal.com at Qualcomm Stadium on Friday, 1/20/06. The Satin Silver 05 belongs to Ed (msgt46270), and of course the Sonic Blue is mine.

Video #1: Don vs. Ed, Race #1. Notice that Ed had serious traction problems. The comment my wife makes to the track announcer about me being "pissed off" is because it was just a few minutes earlier that I had found out I wasn't getting the KB blower this weekend. :angry:

Video #2: Don vs. Ed, Race #2. I went red... Ed wins. Notice Donna was already worried about the amount of tread left on the drag radials. After 95 runs or so, they are now shot... new tires will be here Wednesday.

Video #3: Don kicking a Vette's butt... hehe

Video #4: This is Ed's 3rd run; after he lowered the pressure in his tires, and finally got some traction. Uhhh... I think Ed will want to talk to Donna about her commentary on this one. haha

Video #5: Donna vs. Dodge Hemi Truck with N2O.

Video #6: Again, Donna vs. the Dodge Hemi Truck with N2O. She needs to practice on her burnouts a little still.

Video #7: Donna vs. Viper (blown and N2O... this thing was fast!)

Video #8: Don vs an Olds 442... fun race, very close!! I think my wife is getting too friendly with the announcer.

Video #9: Ed's 4th run.

Video #10: Don vs. NSX (??) on N2O... it was fast too!

Video #11: Ed's 5th run

Video #12: Don vs. Ranchero (460ci engine). Bracket Race, round #1. I was dialed at 8.45, he was at 8.34. I lost by 0.02 sec.

Video #13: Donna vs. "classic" hot rod truck

Video #14: Donna vs blown SUV... sheesh!

Video #15: Donna vs. Camaro

Yea... dual tracks. It helps keep things moving. And thanks for the correction on #10. I wasn't sure.

Hey Don . . .I'm sorry to hickjack the thread, but I'm curious. Do they ever sinchronize both christmass trees so 4 cars can race at one time?

Thanks!

Not intentionally... but it sometimes happens by coincidence. For example, last week, I was making a run in the right lane of the left track, and I looked over and the was a car next to me on my right. It was a bit freaky to have cars on both sides at the same time.
