Title: 2010 AROCA 6 Hour in-car video
Post by: Frank Musco on November 03, 2010, 08:56:24 AM
This is from my first run of the day. Another awesome AROCA event, what can I say that hasn't already been said, it just keeps getting better and better.

Also need assistance, for those lucky few that saw my best drive ever, duelling with the Burgundy/'PINK' Porsche, my digital camera went flat during that run, and the video cannot be read, but there is something on the SD memory card. How can I retrieve what is on the card?, so I can post those 3 laps on how to pass a Porsche ??

Frank.

Hi Frank, 

I've had some success rescuing corrupted / truncated files from flash drives / sd cards using some of the linux tools on my laptop  - if you're desperate and can get the card to me, I'm happy to have a stab at it for you. 

Would love to see the footage anyway ;)

Cheers,

Scott.

Frank as usual very entertaining. The fight with the porsche was hardly fair it was only running on 6 cylinders.

Careful, one sprint is all it takes for 'Addiction' to set in, but consider a couple of famous quotes I guess I have to live with...

"Racing is living, everything else is just waiting" and

"If you wait, all that happens is that you get older" ;)

Go The Mighty Sprint!

Hey, I'm trying to be serious! I have not had a good nights sleep since Bathurst. I usually wake up at about 3 in the morning in a cold sweat. I'm in limbo, waiting, wishing, wanting in desperation for just one more lap! Anyone got a number of a good psychiatrist? ;D

By the way, I got some very good news today. Scott 'AikenDrum105' has been able to recover the video of my last run with the Porsche! So I will post it soon, thanks to Scott.

Thanks for your comments

Haha. I like the yelling and screaming at 3:10 Frank!

Thanks Mick, got myself a touch of brake fade from dragging the brakes. I knew I had a touch too much speed, and for a sec I thought I was O.K , but she drifted across the corner and I got lucky! Using Brakes is just another bad habit.

Paul, Van works for me to. Very cool, grouse man. 8)
