Well... In that case, thanks MB! :lol:

Gary actually got 5. Including the spare. I got these 2. I just hope they aren't too tall...

You spotted that huh? :lol:

I have about 40 minutes of video I need to edit down a bit, but I will try to get it up later today.

Here is the link for some edited down footage from the GoPro. You may want to mute your speakers. I had the mic on the wrong setting so it sounds horrible :roll:

Well as much as they love sitting in the garage in pieces... the dirt is where they really love to be :wink:

Thanks Copper. Lights might just stay on there year round. They provide a nice illumination around the car at night. :lol:

Another video... I though it was a cool angle. I'm glad I went with the 14" shock instead of the 12". Cause it sure seems most of it is used...

You need new radio supression plugs, wires or both. I got the same thing with my pre-HD GoPro plus I got the squeek of the urethane bushings. :) Sensitive little buggers aren't they.

Hedrock. the shock video was taken at the same time as the first part of the first video above. I think my max speed was around 40 in the rough stuff and my GPS says I maxed out around 65 for the weekend.

Lee, I know for sure that my cameras were set on the wrong audio settings. I had them set up during some canoeing with my family to pick up all sound, and I never changed it back to motor sports setting. But if that doesnt work, maybe Ill just upgrade to the HD Hero :wink:
