My car on TV

Post by Thunderfoot »

So last week was one of the biggest bracket races here in the NW the Nightfire here at Firebird raceway and I was out racing my 68 mustang at it and on Friday one of the local news stations was out doing a story on it and they taped my car leaving the starting line! :D You can see it here about half way through this video http://www.12ktrv.com/story/15254545/pe ... ected=true

I didn't make it to any money rounds but still had a good time. :thup:

Anybody know how to download this clip :? I'd like to have it for myself...

You'll either need some video-capture software designed to capture Flash video (FLV) or you might be able to save it from the cached version on your computer. Read this:

BTW, I use the Firefox browser with the FlashGot extension. Download the .flv to a folder of my choice. Then ,with no conversion needed, I play the file with VLC media player. All free and easy when using Firefox...

Thanks for that info, I have Firefox and remembered I have "download helper" which I was able to down load the video but I'm still messing with it as the sound didn't come with it... not a big deal there... I may try to add that video down loader and try it to. Thanks :thup:

Yes my user name is actually my car's name (I couldn't think of anything else at the time :lol: ) here is a picture of the same car back in 83, click pic to enlarge.

I also had a Thunderfoot II which was a 74 mustang II and actually sold it and then bought it back several years later and have been re-building it from the ground up...

Unfortunately new motor this spring and the new rings never did seat completely :( I have never had this issue before but the machine shop did a "Plateau Hone" on the cylinders which made them way too smooth and the rings I got were not setup for that. :cry: I've put about 150 passes on it already this year and have been hoping they would eventually seat in, it has gotten better but I don't think it is going to get there... I 'll have to pull it this winter and fix it as it is kind of driving me nuts that it smokes. :hw: It hasn't affected the ET any so I think it is just the oil rings that are not seating up...

Cool!!! :thup:

Sorry to hear about the rings, sounds like "Plateau Hone" is a very smooth surface designed for low tension rings?

Andy Man got me pointed in the direction of a free Firefox add on called "Flashgot" that I was able to get it captured and it works great! :D
