Marc Swanson and I were at a local auto-x event yesterday, and my brother
managed to get some footage between rain showers, as well as some in-car
stuff. The quality of the videos is pretty poor due largely to the
weather, and track layout, as well as lack of experienced material to film
;) Oh, and only watch the incar videos if you have a strong stomach...
All in all it was definitely a fun event, this was only my second auto-x,
Marc's first, and I both of us came away with functioning vehicles and
grins on our faces. I can 'happily' say that this course for one reason or
another threw off even the most seasoned auto-xers there, as I think
nearly every single person running had at least one off course, or damn
near to it. And many did their share of cone harvesting.
The link to the videos is here, you'll need windows media player 9 at
least to play these, or for the linux crew, the latest version of xine,
with win32 codecs plays them just fine:

If needed I can convert these to mpg's.
Marc wanted me to point out that the couple of horn blats you hear from
his car were due to the fact that pressure on the steering wheel
occasionally causes his horn to sound off.
