This here is now officially declared the one and only official FirstGens.com burnout thread.

2 rules. It has to be you and your car (or a fellow firstgenner in his car)

And I get to be first.

Jeff says he got some good stuff at the track today, so wait patiently until he puts up some pics and mayb e a video of JimM smokin the hides off the blue vert.

Then, bring em on, let's see some smoke!!!
:3gears:

I shot 190 files today, some video some just pics. I went thru most of two batteries but never filled the memory card, shot with a Panasonic FZ18. I've got this one on Photobucket but if someone can direct me to the tutorial on how to get them here I'll post them here instead.

I'm still going thru the trash I took at the track. I don't think I shot any stills of Firstgens cars. The few stills I do have of others seem to be sitting still shots. I do have a great burnout vid of Tom. Maybe someone can capture a still out of one of my vids.

Cool thread! I have a pretty sorry video my wife took with our camera, but it isn't bad, a little smoke at least.
You can barely hear my car though, the Dart I raced had open fender well headers, loud as hell, but I had him covered by 2-3 tenths. Unfortunately we were bracket racing (did I mention I hate bracket racing?) and I have no cage so I dialed in an 11.50, I had run 11.40's all day. He nailed his dial in and beat me, fender raced him to an 11.66. Did I mention I hate bracket racing? :biggrin:
Now that I'm almost through with working ridicules hours maybe I'll get some new footage of a pass with the SB2 in a month or so :thumbsup: .
