Mystery Video

[Two Lane]

I've got an excellent 15 second avi. video (with excellent audio) of a TR making a run through an 1/8th mile. The only data on the file is: kibincar.3 avi.

The dragstrip has an advertising panel in the background for
Doug Jones Ford.

The vid camera is behind the driver mounted centrally on the roll cage.

The lights trip with a 5.53!

Jim,

I definitely remember the Customer Rides section on the previous PTE website's layout, but the current updated menu doesn't seem to have included it.

(Unless I'm looking everywhere, except the right place?)

TIA!!

I just got done looking for it also---i finally found it by clicking on "Buick Products" several times---it finally just came up-----But then-----the link is bad---no video to be found.

Geoff,

Went back & "triple-clicked" on the Buick button a couple of times more and did finally get through to the Customer Rides section.

Glad it's still there!

Like you, the link to the vid did not work for me, either.

Hope it gets back up real soon!

 

[TurboJim]

I've uploaded the vid for all to see..

A PUBLIC SERVICE

Thanks, Jim!

I predict that posting the vid for everyone to download will
lead to a severe coast-to-coast TR upgrade fever, sending aftermarket sales to stratospheric levels!

Hope MANY more TR owners/racers also do some In-Car vids for us soon!

Again, thanks for providing storage for the vid on your site.

I truly do believe you've provided another great community service for the TR community!

Thanks Jim, I watched that about 20 times.
Fantastic.
