First a technical issue. Lately, I'm having a harder time watching the videos in full. Often they'll only play to a certain point and stop. No amount of time will allow the last part of the video to come through. Typically, I have to go back and re-click "watch the video" a few times to make it to the end. I don't know if the problem is on your end or mine, but it's a problem I'm having that I didn't have before.
More importantly, I've found the last few videos less than interesting.
The Spring Fling barely held my attention. I would have liked more technical information on the participating cars. When ever I go to an event I pick out the cars that I like and talk to the owners about the specifics of the cars. I'd like to see more of that here. The cruise didn't do anything for me. The show and swap meet coverage was better, but again, I want to know specific details on the cooler cars in attendance. The cruise, to me, was terrible. Again, no technical info. I outgrew burnouts in parking lots in high school. I am strongly of the opinion that the only reason to do a burnout is to heat the slicks. Brake stands on radials are just lame.
The Chevelle on track was better, but it didn't look like you guys were pushing the car all that hard. Maybe you were but it didn't come across to me. Other than Chad going off course, it seemed like the footage from outside the car was essentially posing for the camera. Also, while I appreciate the specifics on the air ride failure, I think too much time was devoted to it. I would have liked to see footage of a complete lap with commentary.
I was really looking forward to the Lemons build up as I'm planning on doing the TX event, but again was disappointed. Three minutes of breaking glass, but zero info on building the cage, no alignment specs, no interesting interpretations of rules...
I'm getting the feeling that this site is getting less tech oriented and more about watching guys do silly things with cars. I'm getting the same vibe off of the boards. It seems some of the more hard core guys make less of an appearance than they used to.
While this is aimed at Chad and Dave all comments are welcome, so fire away.
