Endurocross 2016 -- What a perfect day for most!!

[Jamie]

I lost it in the tight slalom at the end of the first slalom. The damned thing was a Chicago box without the box.

Back in school, what did we say a Chicago Box was? A tight slalom with extra cones around it!

Jamie, just throw chocolate at me if I'm on a pyroclastic state....

Going to clamp a big bar of Hershey's right next to the fire extinguisher....

Philip -- there's something wrong with your camera -- a bearded guy keeps showing up in different cars. Give me a shout if there's anything you need up this way.

I'll upload a edited batch of pictures and my hilariously fun first run later. We have had a major family medical problem on monday that is thankfully on the road to the recovery faze now. This might be my last event for a bit.

Philip, sorry to hear about your family emergency. Hope everything gets back to normal soon.
Dan.

Yes, this! Philip, hope the road to recovery is straight, smooth, and short.

I'd like to thank Philip as always for the incredible coverage and also hope everything with your family works out for the best!

[Carracer]

Thanks all, things are looking incredibly good for the recovery.

This is what about 4 minutes of overdriving a miata looks:

Damn, Philip! That's a fun video to watch. Looksl ike you figured out the Chicago box and it's "not-a-Chicago-box" twin on the other side by the time you got to your 4th lap. Do I need to tighten those up??? (they're supposed to be regulating speed)

Snazzy new webserver... for some reason I cannot see the videos now... just a big black box... and where are the emoticons

[twistedwankel]

Hormonal?

[Loren]

Emoticons... didn't think about that. Looks like they're all there if you go to the full editor. I'll see if there's a way to put them in the Quick Reply box.

Not sure why you guys aren't seeing the vids. I'm seeing them. I just scrolled through all 3 pages of this thread, and at one point, as one of the vids came into view, I did see black for about half a second before it showed the video preview and controls. Maybe it's a slow-connection or caching thing? (and that doesn't necessarily mean slow connection on your end... Google could be having issues) Let me know if that issue persists.

It's the same whether I use Tapatalk or my internet connection @ home. In Tapatalk I get the url for the photos or videos. At home, I had to look at the page's html script, search for the youtube string, copy it then go to the direct url. I'll see if I can attach screen shots. If not Loren, will send to you via email.

In Tapatalk, it's working as it's going to in Tapatalk. It's just going to show you the link with the "vid" tag around it because Tapatalk doesn't know what to do with our custom Vid tag. The problems in actual browsers, I'm going to have to look at. Better to discuss this in the thread about the new server, though.

Old News....but I finally got a 5 lap video done for my Insight 2nd (faster) run. Thought it would show the results of a depleted hybrid battery, but it isn't so clear. The second lap is fastest, but it appears to also be the lap where I strategically took out the last cone of the Chicago box...so who knows. 3rd lap is way slow...not sure why. 4th is a little slower than the 2nd, so maybe that is depleted battery, but ???
