Not yet 
My PC that has my editing/video software should be back together tomorrow. I'm using a Sony cam that uses .m2ts files and can't convert it on my slow iMac. I'll try to get it done tomorrow night or Friday.
Haha, nice update on drag times! Must be nice being at the top

CLS55 Vid
I managed to get a short vid put together of one of your passes. I think it was your 3rd pass of the day. Unfortunately this is the only pass I have of your car, but at least it's a good run 
I'll try to get a few more up of some of the other passes, but it will take me a few days. But if we ever do this again, I will need to teach my GF how to properly stabilize the camera! Hard to find clips without any shake.

Thanks! Yeah I've been playing around with some video editing software for the past few months and it finally came in handy.
I think the easiest way to download it is to join Vimeo, then there will be a link in the lower right on that same page that will allow you to "Click to Download". The file is about 25mb. If you're still having trouble just let me know and I can email it to you.
Yeah, I wish I would have gotten video of that 3rd run. I remember that burnout! Next season

I am using the Adobe CS4 Production Premium Suite which I was able to get it for 50% off on eBay. It comes with I think 7 different programs, but the main one I use is Adobe After Effects, which is used to create many of the Hollywood special FX you see in movies. It's a very powerful program, but there is a bit of a learning curve to it. I also use Premiere quite a bit, which is similar to After Effects but focuses more on your overall timeline and less on FX. Similar to Apple's Final Cut.
