Refenestration Daily.
I have some DivX footage from my last autocross. I’d like to post it, but it’s 63 MB (and even the low-quality version is 55 MB). And, with my current hosting plan, I only get 300 MB trasfer/month.
So, if anyone would be able to host the file, please let me know :-). I figure that it wouldn’t be downloaded more than about a dozen times, but even that would still bust my trasfer quota.
Update: Hosting found — the video is now online.
I had a great time at the autocross on Saturday. Of course, though it's held by the Lone Star Chapter of the BMW Car Club of America, all cars are welcome (that’s how my Alero fits in).
And, with the rear sway bar that Andy and Jason (not Jason) helped me install on Wednesday, my understeer was greatly reduced.
A sway bar tends to reduce the independence in the suspension (independent suspension is what allows each wheel on a single axle to be at different heights). And, I have it on good authority that, during tight turns on the autocross, my inside-rear wheel has a predilection to lift up to 2" off the ground.
Oh, and as with most cars, Aleros apparently have the tendency to stall after a 180° spin. It was actually more fun than you might think, though it was a bit disorienting to view an entire panoramic view of the airfield in less than a second ;).
