i only managed to take 2 vids. (right click and save as)
Looks like charles and casey going at it at the sand drags
and racing Nick02tacoma's stock truck with trd exhaust while I was riding shotgun with Khammy (KW) with kings and deaver suspension at the sand drags

I'd appreciate it if someone could convert these files to downloadable friendlier size.

Bud, I'll down load them and compress them.
Do you mind if I add them into my video?

I'll compress them, but the frame rate is too low for what I intended so I can't use them.
You want Mpeg?

Then again, it was pretty fun working on the clutch and I wouldn't mind tinkering with the engine.

The only complication is I have an end of summer deadline to find a new place to live and I may be looking at having no garage for even tool storage :cry:
You have a 22re in a Tacoma Prerunner? Or do you have a different truck?

Is that your truck with the lights on top? Did you get a lift too?
Yup thats my truck with a mild 2" suspension lift. So when are we going to hit Pismo and Bigfalls again?

Do you have a good, clear shot of it? It looks great from what I can see.

Yeah, I really want to get up there soon to meet up with you guys...

I recently picked up a 1st gen runner
It's the one on the wrong end of the tow strap in Steve's pics archives.

Steve, I have your camping gear whenever you need it! PM me whenever you want it back. Or maybe there'll be some great gear on e-bay with no reserve ...j/k...! Great trip guys can't wait to do it again..

Racing speeds

For you guys that was racing with us here is an interesting piece of info.

I just downloaded the tracks from my GPS and the highest speed while "dune racing" I did was an average of 63 MPH over 650ft.

SO we were hitting some good speeds over those bumps, no wonder we had to keep backing off most of the time.

Had my GPS going, so it recorded my tracks and also the time, distance and speed between every track point. So I can just download it to my PC. It is good to see on a map where you have been, and save it for future use. Very useful to make waypoints for the future.

Well I have a Garmin V now and want to upgrade to a color one sometime, if you are in no rush we can work out a deal. Also the GPS is fine it is the maps that kill your wallet I got the City map with the GPS, and bought the TOPO and NAtional park 24K TOPO. All the toys add up

Nobody's taken charge of the Pismo 2 1/2 trip - maybe you guys should start organizing that
