[DeTomaso] 2011 Summer Summit Video Footage

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

Here is a file from the GoPro that was mounted on the roof back in June
2011.
This is from the Lookout back to Deal's Gap on the Tail of the Dragon
which is US Hwy 129 NC/TN.
Please fast forward past the first 2 min, I was still learning how to use
the camera and have not
edited the beginning out yet.
Lots of wind noise.
The yellow Pantera in front of me is Bob Knox.
There really is no sensation of speed here w/o proper sound ( but it is afe
to assume that we were
moving rather quickly), the new HD GOPRO 2 solves this with
an extra mic port and when I do this again, I'll mount a mic on the rear
between the exhausts.
You also get no sense of elevation changes and they were extreme, we go up
and down about
2,000 feet constantly.  You can see a graph of it here.

night,
