Daily update #1: N/A car (the CM's very own Russ P.) kicked butt in PA bracket racing and took 1st place....PA cars didn't even make it to the finals.

I had the fastest BLUE at the track.

Drank beer and :bs:last night.

Drinking beer and :bs:tonite.

Will probably drink beer and :bs: some more tomorrow night.

Having a great time. Miss you, wish you were here!

Thursday's Update - The Carolina Marauders are well represented at MV5 and the car show held at Washington County Park, SCCheesehead, Steve_NC, Russ P. (sorry I forgot your screen name) & fastblackmerc (me!). Alot of nice MM's, good food and conversation eventhough it was 98 degrees in the shade! Local TV station was there doing some interviews and shots. They got a nice smokie burnout :burnout: on tape and I heard that it was shown on TV later that evening. There was also a writeup in the local paper about all the MM's being in town. My MM won 1st place for Best In Show, which I consider a great honor since IMHO there were too many nice MM's there to pick out a single one, and 2nd place for nicest engine compartment. Got another trophy and a banner to hang!

Wish you were here!

Everyone was kept pretty busy without much computer time, so it was kinda hard to update daily. The only thing I wanted to do when I got to my hotel room was shower and crash. The breakfast/awards ceremony went off without a hitch this morning and everyone parted ways. I'm home now, hope everyone else gets home safely as well. Thanks for a wonderful event!

A Very hot and Humid 98 degree's. It was so hot that just past the 1000 foot mark there was a dead spot of humidity where myself and a few other cars wouldn't climb above 5K RPM's in 3rd gear.
Everyone was running much slower then their usual. I managed to pull out consistant 14.20's@98MPH.

Also, for those of you I told about a real simple to use image resizer for Micro$oft XP:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

To crunch videos down:
To crunch the videos down, check out moviemaker, type "moviemk" at the Start | Run prompt. Windows, if you have moviemaker? Seems 2Meg is limit size for MM.net.?.
To use, open video file. Drag & drop video into story board at bottom. Then File | Save Movie File | My Computer | Next | enter a filename | Browse to directory to save in | Next | change file size to 2Meg | Next.
