Help posting video!!!

I got it but I guess no one wants to see an E55 race a SLR from 5-140 four time? NORB can you help I need to post this video now. I am still shaking from the runs. I will write all about it but I want to post it first.

People like to call BS so let's post now!!!!

Hell fing no. but it was fun.

I was in the SLR and my brother drove the E55 as the rabbit. We let the e55 hit it first most of the time then ran it down.

I will show raw footage but remember I was pumped. I will then edit to music.

Mach 430 We have already raced before! You drive a red CLK with the plate Mach430 is this correct?

We were in a black supra and did a pull up imperial about 6 months ago? Do you remember? Look close at the video you will see use honk and wave out window to Caliber Motors then hit it till 140 race with the E55..........


How is your car running?

Nice video! Next time you might want to use a mount (see, e.g.: http://www.autoxcam.com/) to steady the camera work.
