This is a collection of videos I’ve shot, edited, mixed, and posted over the years.   Figure I would list some of them on my blog for shits and giggles.

9/2011:  Colorado In The Wind

This is a video showing my 7 day solo motorcycle ride around Colorado.  This trip covered all areas of CO west of I25 while avoiding most freeways for 99% of the trip.  This was a great way to see the new state we moved to.  This was shot with a mix of time lapse, and video.  All with a GoPro HD Hero strapped to the bike. Plays up to 1080P just pick your res.

8/2007 :  WAI/SCCA AutoX @ Miller Park, Milwaukee, WI

Kate recorded a couple of my runs in my 2002 Ford Focus SVT, in the last AutoX event I participated in with this car before selling it.   This is the afternoon runs and I was pushing too hard on many of the corners (as the white smoke denotes).  The car was a blast to drive on these kind of courses as it was modified pretty much just for this.  It sported H&R race springs, Yellow Koni adjustable shocks, adjustable camber plates, stainless cat-free 2.5” non resonated exhaust, custom rear sway bar, running Hankook S2 track tires.  It also had a custom engine map, and some other tweaks.  The car was nimble silly fun.

10/2006 :  2006 Lake Superior Performance Rally, Houghton, MI

I made a yearly pilgrimage up to Houghton, in the UP of Michigan to spectate, work at, and overall have fun at the annual rally race that covered most of the Keweenaw Penninsula.  This is from our 2006 trip where Mike White and I shot tons of footage covering this event.  This was shot before HD was common :)

10/2004 :  2004 Lake Superior ProRally, Houghton, MI 

This was the final year that stage rally in the US was under the SCCA. After this year Rally America took over.

1/2004:  Rally DVD Title/Intro video

This is a video title/intro I made for some WRC DVDs I distributed in the early/mid 2000’s as a side business. I am pretty happy with how this turned out, it was made with a combination of Lightwave 3D, Adobe Premiere, and a few other tools.  I have since completely forgotten how to do any of that stuff… so its cool that I found this laying around.

11/2002 :  2002 WAG RallyX, Greatlakes Dragway, WI

Being part of the Midwest Subaru Owners Club (MWSO)back in 2002, I went down to check out a RallyX. Before that I devised a way to mount a camera to the almost universal Subaru Impreza headrests. So I handed out a headrest with a camera on it to various people and recorded what happened.  S me humorous commentary by the drivers.

Just remember, you can run without a helmet as long as you don’t roll over :)

10/2002 :  2002 Lake Superior ProRally, Houghton, MI 

This was my first time recording LSPR, and it was a blast.  I will freely admit that this video isn’t the best :)  This was at the tail end of the mfg run series. In the video you can see the works Subaru’s, Mitsus, and Hyundai (An evo drive train put under a Hyundai).  This was an impressive time to be around the sport!

Also note the Audi Quattro, and Supra, both cars you dont see much in rally these days.
