Default In-Car video of my land speed racing this past weekend

Hey guys,
I was messing around with my video editing software this morning, and wound up with a video that still needs a little work, but is worth watching. It is the in-car video from my land speed racing down in Maxton, NC this past weekend. I was shooting for some higher speeds, but didn't have enough pressure on the NOS bottle by the time I sprayed in 3rd, 4th, and 5th with a 300 shot, and will probably put two bottles in there for some of the spring runs.
In this run I did 191mph, and in the spring should be able to do 215-217 or so... unless I make a few changes and then it's possible that I might actually break 220mph in the mile. Click on the link below, if it starts sputtering make sure to hit pause and give it a minute to catch up on the downloads, and then you should be able to run it straight through...
See ya,
Sonny

Awesome.

At least you kept your visor down for the whole run this time.

Yeah, it wasn't fogging up this time. I was trying to lower it a few times and warm it up with my before I launched, just so that it wouldn't. It was also a little cooler out this event...
