You always gonna use this excuse Sparky or you gonna come up with a new one at some stage?

Good stuff. Didnt see your camera setup but reckon on a right-hand track you should put the camera on the right-hand side.
Blue firestorm at the start of clip2 was Fatjim. Take a bow FJ!

Nope not me, I think it's one of the guys from Masterton

The most common accident at a track day is a lowside. I'd put my camera on the left too. Why munch your bike AND your camera?

cos it makes for excellent footage that circles the intermaglobe for many many years to come

What sessions were those clips taken from Gunner? Medium or fast? Nice smooth coverage, I was looking out for my husband but couldn't see him. He was on the old CBX550 but took Busted's ZX6R out to lead one session.

How did you get 3 mins worth in under 4MB ?

I struggled to get 1 min. Did you reduce the picture quality or something ?

Just reduced the quality. Its good to see a different view of the track, At the next one I might try to mount the camera facing backwards aswell.

Deanno. Its a pity the camera rocked up and down so much, but understandable. You could get a small flat it of wood and screw the camera to it using the tripod mount, then fasten the flat peice to the seat. Wouldn't rock around quite as much eh. Jeez Manfield is a rough circuit.
