That shot. The background, the building look more computer generated than realistic.

everyone's trunk lines are soo high nice pics

[Random_Stranger]

Wow, really nice pics everyone! Seriously! I will post mine in a bit or tomorrow, no later than Wed though at the latest. Always great to see everyone and Chris... Excellent driving! :-D Thanks for the tips. I hope to learn a lot from you in the future.

LOL you serious?

Oh yeah, Chris, keep in touch with me too man, so you can remind me to bring you those springs.

Ok so here's some more. I resized and cleaned these up a little.

[windowlicker]

faust, hell yeah i'm serious. countless laps around the nurburgring trying my hardest to run it perfect helps you decide what lines to take. start off with something simple and close to stock, then slowly move up. 800 hp loctite jgtc r34 skyline gtr is what i have fun with now. my 1031 hp toyota gt one is too much power to have fun on that track. but seriously, practice with gt4 and learn the right lines to take and it will help you translate your driving skills to real world driving. not saying its gonna be anything like going to a real school, but its good to start off with and get used to staying focused.

oh, and are you gonna be really busy on friday? i'll be passing through your area on my way up to sacramento, but i'm not 100% sure what time. if things work out and you have some free time to meet up, i figure we could trade the springs for the rear bar that i should have done in the next couple days for you. i should also be going close by on my way home on sunday as well, so that gives us options.

Some more

[nnesto]

here is the last of them. if anyone wants fullsize or unedited pics or even the blurry ones that i didnt post just send me a pm.















here is the link to the whole set.

[BonzaiCelica]

Always great to see everyone and Chris... Excellent driving! :-D Thanks for the tips. I hope to learn a lot from you in the future.

hey Chris ya you did some good driving i remember when i was tagging along right behind you through the last meet we had. canyons are so fun!!

great pics everyone one. damn i really did miss out well i wont for the next meet thats for sure!

hey BeefyT you got to get a day off for work so you can come to the next meet!!!

[windowlicker]

thanks for the compliments, its kinda weird for me to get those kind of compliments on my driving. i just do it cause its my stress relief and it makes me feel good. i'm no tommi makinen, so i guess thats why its weird for me.

oh, and nesto, those shots came out way better than we talked about. even after they turned out the lights up top, i think it kinda helped the shots look better. i can't help but say it again, that was a pretty sweet location you picked.

great pics ernesto! i like the bird's eye view shot

[Random_Stranger]

Ernesto! Dude that view up top worked out exactly as I imagined it would! Only we should have parked further back. Too bad they shut the lights on us, I was certain that was the best set up. They came out WAY better than I thought! You have a good camera and have skill my friend. Nics! Great pics! Any of you who have a myspace and wouldn't mind adding me to keep in touch, it is www.myspace.com/faustinorr, because I had a great time with you all and look forward to making you into real friends, not just someone who shows up at the meet.

Anyways, here is all I could muster up... Most came out blurry and yeah...






















I'll add more tomorrow, I am very tired and I have school in the morning, also my "Near Death" video, where I almost kill Chris as well as myself! LOL Again, sorry Chris. But that will be posted on my bulletin via Myspace. Cuz I can't post it on here.

[nnesto]

thanks guys. those shots after they killed the lights on us came out alot better after i tweaked them in photoshop like you were talking about chris. I have some vids too but i need to find some place to post them after i edit them down, one is over 2gb and i cant even open the file yet.

If you have it, try Picasa 3 or higher from Google. I am using this to shorten down the videos of the "roads" and going to post them on youtube through it. It is just that it takes forever and you can cut it up. Just make sure you have a back up video if you do that, so you have a full copy and can go back to continue the rest. Or at least that is how I think it works. This is taking forever for just a stupid 5min video (mine that I had shortened down)... ugh.

Nah Fridays are really good for me Chris. I ain't doing jack. Hit me up. It isn't far at all to hit the 99 by my house. I live literally right off an intersecting freeway, so you can't miss me or lose out on time. Yeah I got GT-4, so I will take your advice and try it out then.

[LewFX]

you jerk faust, you never called me when you came into town.

[Random_Stranger]

you jerk faust, you never called me when you came into town.

My bad. But in all fairness, I was very near you that one time I came down to downtown for my brother's show, and did Jeff come out? NoOoOooO... :-P I am going to try and make a habit out of going out there for the hell of it anyways, your canyons have much better roads than mine do. Mine are ate up from trucks, because we are an Ag community.

[Random_Stranger]

Here's some more

Hey! I tried ok... Hard to drive stick in a canyon and fire a shot on the camera when you are trying to watch the road




Did this one without even looking, it came out.... okish..


LOL Daniel




Trying to catch Craig when he jumped out to take an excellent shot of everyone

Oh yeah! Maybe so. Then in that case, 2 1/2 LOL

[Random_Stranger]

Oh, one more for the list... My bad, I forgot this one



It would have been nice if we weren't all exhausted and had more time to play with the arranging of cars for more photos.

viewed your vids and they turned out better than i thought. funny how it picked up the stuff in your trunk clanging around...lol

[Random_Stranger]

LOL Yeah the audio actually came out pretty good! Chris, we gotta do this again man, seriously! Hit me up, even just to shoot the $#!T. I thought some of our 6gc friends were going to say negative stuff, but they actually said nice things about how I did first time. So that makes me happy, and the fact they said you can "feel" the g force in the video, that is my biggest concern. In the camera on the LCD screen, it didn't seem right. But now I got it on youtube, it seems a bit better. Thanks again.


I still got two more videos to post of the "crew" travel. So anyone interested, it will be posted on my bulletins on myspace. www.myspace.com/faustinorr, because posting here wouldn't be appropriate.

FYI, these are the Night Road videos, not the day time and once this last video finally uploads, I will post the pre and the post videos (1 and 1).

My First Canyon Run (SoCal 6gcs roll out)

wtf.. is that my car in front of you?

braking with left foot looks annoying

[Random_Stranger]

Great pics and videos everyone. Looks great. And in the Lol at Daniel pic, meh, look at the background, the sign tells it all, I can go one way but when you try something different you get something all awkward hahah

LOL oh yeah! There was a one way sign! LOL

My First Canyon Run (SoCal 6gcs roll out)

braking with left foot looks annoying

LOL Yeah, you were braking quite a bit. That's why I just let it coast a bit. But it was fun, and most of us, if not all, were exhausted by that time.

there was another one in front of me and not the time to all out cuz idk the road that much. on the turns, the brake light goes on but the car aint slowing down too much, just to balance the weight distribution of the car.

Well considering we were going downhill and at the (not going to say the Sp33d word so instead I will use...) rate of movement we were traveling at, not like your brakes could actually stop you, other than slow you down enough to gain composure. And trust me, as you may have seen from my n00bish mistakes in my lone 3 part videos. I even have slotted rotors with ceramic brakes and it didn't slow me down much. Plus after yo use them a lot, they just heat up and don't do jack. Because on the way up, that is exactly what happened to me. It wasn't until we stopped for everyone else on the side of the road (during day light) was I able to use them again.

well its good to be cautious. it was a great road for me cuz i've been driving the same road for over a year and its nice to have another place to go to xcept its 100+miles away fr me.


i dont want a 180 spin happen for the 3rd time esp there. you enjoyed riding with chris giving pointers huh.

[Random_Stranger]

Heck yeah

[dabazied]

Actually, on that particular road, I don't recall seeing a single speed limit sign. The only thing I remember seeing is the yellow "turn coming, advised to take it at so-and-so mph. Other than that, a bumper, and some tire marks along with a lot of tight-ish curves, I didn't see anything else.
