I hope the link still works. It came back saying it had been removed due to "illegal content" on a few boards that I posted it on.

I've been toying with the windows Movie Maker on my computer and tdhis was the only video I had.

Sorry for the quality, I just shoved the camera under the headrest and turned it on. I really didn't even know what the camera was seeing until I looked at it later.

It's a little choppy, but you get the general idea. It's hard to keep the nose pointed forward under hard acceleration.

Now you got me jones'en to finish my 69 (427/390 mildly built)

No cheating is allowed on trying to make the back end kick out. Starting off at an angle, and then overcorrecting.... tsk tsk. ;)

I was kind. I added the ;) in there.

When the red car had a small block in it, I too used to jerk the stearing wheel for jollies. :D

Now it's more fun to leave my hands off of the wheel and just punch it. Hell, it's more fun than six-flags.

I know, all you can really see after launching is the sky. I think the camera shifted when I nailed it. I was lucky to get that much. I couldn't see what the camera was seeing until I watched it later. I just wedged it under the headrest and pointed it toward the road, or so I thought.

And Mike, Ok, OK, You busted me on the fish tailing...but its much more fun that way! :)
