Monday afternoon Dragon Run

Video is up...

Low quality due to the intarweb/google... Also, I had the windows open so there's quite a bit of wind noise... :/

I used the CruiseCam mount... Worked well for my track day last year, for the dragon (had the idea while packing the car) I moved it to the rear passenger headrest instead of the normal front passenger headrest.

I should have closed the windows and zoomed in a bit for the auto exposure as well... There's always next year. :(

Watched it again, and didn't see much 'bounce' per se, but did notice jitter. If you go right to the end, you'll hear me scrape as I come off the ledge onto the rock bed, and then it's just jitter jitter jitter... That is the superstiff suspension. I'm running very low and tight on my coilovers... Thinking about loosening it up, and maybe coming a 1/2" up on the front.

Will post 'the return trip' by friday...
