Cost about a buck on eBay, including shipping(!), for nice plastic-frame 3D glasses direct from China. I think I'll splurge and get a pair.

Okay Gary, I bought five pair of plastic-frame 3D glasses on eBay for $3.99 (including shipping, for all of them!) to be sent from China directly to my front door. So, if you can wait a couple weeks, we're all set.

oh.. good.. I think that will make it easier to watch. the cross-eyed technique seems to double the resolution.. small but sharp and clear. wonder how it will be in a larger format

Patrick, I compared your video to mine, and I know now where I lost the time on that run. Somehow you got to the first gate more than a second faster than I did. Seriously, it's actually pretty dramatic. If I line up the video from that point, were pretty much going the same speed. I might be going a little bit quicker than you when I accelerate, but your tires make up for it in the corners.

Crossing my eyes with the smaller images seemed promising. I was able to get the dots lined up fairly easily (I think), but my eyes and my brain don't seem to be letting me focus on the merged picture.
88 Formula 5 speed

I'm looking forward to seeing the video in 3D while making use of the whole screen. The fact that it's shot in HD 1080p will (I hope) allow the image to still look quite sharp while being viewed in this manner. Of course, I'll need to upgrade my hardware to watch 1080p play back without studdering.

Colby, there's no mystery. I've been badgering you for the last three years to nail it when you start each run. But no, you always ease out of the starting gate! You've got to get more aggressive off the launch. Make use of the extra ponies you have at your disposal.

What might be interesting as well though is to see where on the track your dad is struggling. The duke was what... 3/10's of a second behind the 914/6.  As much as I'm pleased that I'm not being blown away by everyone anymore, I'd also like to see all of us (within our tight little circle) reach our full potential and kick some butt out there.

ya.. i am getting a bit of heat for my tardy runs from my brother. the car is a real brute in the corners though. i do believe my line could have been improved.. just needed some more runs..
although these were good long runs, only 7 in the day did not offer too many chances. also, i hit no cones.. definitely not tight enough..
