Re: Renting Mineral Wells
ya, we did that on a lotta videos (I was john's camera b!tch when he got tired of filming at events). I've probably got hours of "section" video like that (30+ VHS tapes of TAMSCC events - gotta transfer to DVD).
We did some section video at the Austin Police academy years ago (it was to be their last event there, ever), with fixed camera video of cars thru an "S" curve section. I won ESP by a LOT that day, which was uber rare at the time ($0 budget racing). On the section video, it was painfully obvious why: They said "4 wheels off is a DNF", and I asked at the driver's meeting if 3 wheels off was ok, "sure". So of course I was putting 2-3 wheels 4-5 feet into the grass on every corner (uber tight, malibu grand prix sized road course), and made that "S" section into a straight.
Always managed to keep at least one tire on the pavement, barely. Everyone that night watching the video was like... "oh... Fair, you SUCK!" I never got flagged or DNF'd cause it was explicitly allowed, just very few people were doing it.
I almost protested myself....
J/K!
