New video of weekend canyon fun...

ChuckGm3 · 06-17-2011, 01:55 PM

As my friends and I like to do from time to time, we scout out desolate mountain/canyon roads, contact the government about closing those roads

and then go drive the piss out of our cars on them for 2 days (with cameras attached), covering many miles and literally thousands of switchbacks.

It's just for fun. (BTW CSR stands for Controlled Spin Rally and this is the 5th one)

New rear tires for M3: $600
New Radiator for Miata: $400
Mustang Rental: $300
GoPro Hero SD: $150
TrackCam App for iphone: $4
Gas: $LOTS

A damn fun weekend with fellow car guys: Priceless.

(Watch the 720p version if possible)

Unfortunately my tires were corded by the end of the trip or I would have been adding to the antics... the Stang's rubber was free tho

I actually never realized how far leaned back my seating position was until I saw that video, but in reality my arms are quite long in relation to my legs. I have very short legs so I need to be pretty far up to work the pedals but leaned back far enough to have the wheel at a comfortable distance and not up under my chin.

I'd rather not say publicly for a number of reasons but if you're interested, PM me.

HeavyTireSmoke · 06-17-2011, 08:24 PM

Seems like some shitty driving going on lol

Merlosso · 06-17-2011, 09:19 PM

That was really cool, thanks for sharing. I looked up the iPhone app you used and I'm very interested in it. What did you use to mount the iPhone to the windshield?

BMW Fanatic · 06-17-2011, 09:42 PM

Nice
