Dave, Thanks for organizing and hosting a great event!
I captured a fair bit of video footage of Roadsters in action that I'll go through this week and post.

The recordings had too much wind noise so I just had youtube dub in some music.

Re: Bay Area Fun Run in August
Great videos Mike! I love how your camera view captures the line of cars in front of you and how damned narrow and steep those drop-offs look as you round the corners! Some great views also as you reach the photo stop and the peak. I like your music-over-wind noise method, too bad the wind noise overshadows the sound of your terrific engine going up the mountain. Such a great car! Cheers, Dave

Re: Bay Area Fun Run in August
Thanks. I tried wrapping the camera with black "camo form" wrap to cut wind noise but it seems to have filtered the lows and passed the highs. I need to try something else.
