I didn't buy a Mini, so I had to purchase my 3D glasses through eBay. However, just $4 for five pair of plastic-framed anaglyph (red-blue) 3D glasses direct from China to my doorstep... and that included shipping! I gotta say though, I'm not all that impressed with anaglyph 3D video. The image/color quality of the video really takes a dive when viewed in this manner. For short videos, the "cross-eyed" technique with no glasses results in much better 3D video quality.

I wanted to post the official course map so that the in-car videos might make more sense.

Patrick, Nice camera work.. the edit looks like i was just going round and round.
 While i viewed the runs, a breeze was drifting in an open door.. it was just like being there, minus the heat. Al, i guess my bobbing head days are going to come to an end.. It will be an interesting transition.. |

Gary, what are you going to do when I give you a pair of 6- point harnesses this winter?

I made a contraption that allowed me to stand upright while holding the camera about a foot off the ground. The idea was to enhance the 3D effect by having cones in close proximity in the foreground while various cars whizzed by on the track. Presenting... Mostly Gary Yeah, you've got to be a car nut to appreciate the video.

Thanks Ken. I didn't post the run where I mowed over four cones and then said some bad words.

Gary, with where my camera was mounted, to get the effect you're requesting I would've had to have been sitting on the hood!

Oh it's painful to watch this. It forces me to re-live the frustration of having no acceleration to help deal with this course. 3D video - "Fastest" run I'm working on putting together some of the shots I took while standing out on the tarmac.

Absolutely fantastic day! Gary kicked butt out there! I'm
very proud of my brother for driving his car extremely well today. It was tough for me to catch up.
Kudos on a great job, Gary! |

Just one lonely Fiero out there today. And it wasn't exactly a duke friendly course. However, the weather was perfect... Gary was there with his 914/6... Gary's brother Al was there as well... and I was pleased that I got my act together in the afternoon. Not only did I improve my times, but I stopped killing cones. Just having a beer to unwind now, and I'll be reviewing 3D footage shortly. All in all... a good day at the track.
