Club Arnage

Many of you have seen bits and pieces of my Turn 10 video project in the past, and I've just created a new page on my site where I've posted the latest version. I'll update it as the project continues, but this is it till sometime after this year's race. There's lots more to come...

www.svpweb.com/turn10.html

Hope to see some of you Saturday night, work commitments will keep me way north of Sebring till late in the day.

John

How cooolll is that?

John cant wait to see you.
Keep in touch by cell Sat.so I can know when you are arriving.

Randy,

Will do, my plane gets into Orlando about 5:15, so I should see you around 8 PM I hope.  I'm going to try and send John some stuff tomorrow for Monday AM delivery. When are you leaving St, Pete?

John

Hi John, so you could not stay away after all ;D
Better late than never :P do you still want that interview ??? I will be half in the bag by the time you get there eh! ;D
Canada Phil

Phil,

Only half?! That could be a good interview!

Looking forward to seeing you. I know you don't have hi-speed (although the movie will download eventually...) I'l try and bring a few DVDs.I was giving my client a hard time today about moving their event up to the 18th (although no mention of my REAL motive!), I may be forced to begging them not to do it again next year. Its really killing me not to ba able to get there Thursday or Friday. Oh well, an evening at Sebring is better than most days elsewhere, right?

John

That is way cool. You Turn 10 guys rock!

I think I may have to murder my wife next year and come anyway. I see Randy on the video, are any other CA members in it?

I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;D

As are, Jupiter John, Lee Self, Greg. Smokie and Steve Brown are there as well.

A couple of screen grabs of the video -

JPC playing Lee Self at Schnapps Chequers (Jupiter John on the left, back of Lee's head , JPC)

One more,

Smokie in shorts / dark top - - - me myself and I in white hat / dark top / bottle of beer

If you find yourself in the video, could you please contact me? Technicallly speaking, I need your permission to use your "image" in the video. I have release forms I can email for you to sign, unless of course you don't want to be seen hanging around the likes of all those turn 10 folks, like you all told your families you'd be attending a medical conference in Atlanta as it was required by your employer so naturally you couldn't visit the in-laws that weekend... 

Smokie, I think you will have a small speaking role in a later version of the video, and I interviewed another CA person (? - I need to check my notes) at PLM.  I found the Club Arnage connection to be one more example of the "wide area network" that happens with racing in general and Turn 10 specifically. Pretty damn cool.

For those of you that haven't heard how this all got started.... essentially I wandered into the Turn 10 camp at Randy's invitation intending to shoot some wonderful race cars and hang out for the day, but what I found was a great story, that as a filmmaker and race fan I feel compelled to tell. I am a passionate road racing fan, and as you can probably tell from what you've seen already, this is not a "60 Minute" expose' on the dirty under belly of american sports car racing. I'm sure the finished version will be somethiing that we can all be proud of and I really appreciate all the encouragement and support you all have given.

John

I am leaving for the track Tues.Morning.

Small parts are my specialty...  ::)

Great video...

John, I'm pretty sure you interviewed Chris at PLM. He was there with his dad. They went to the Hockey game friday.  C'mon Chris was it you? fess up.

-Lee

Yes, it was Chris. I also talked to Scott at PLM, who I'm sure will show up at turn 10.  In the box I'm sending Jupiter John, I'll include a bunch of release forms. I also need to get those drivers too, so Lee if you know how to contact them I have to at least give that a try.  Do any Turn 10 folk have a video iPod? I could make a pod movie and we could show the drivers what we were using it for, or maybe hand them a DVD. Race weekend may be kind of busy for those guys, although they usually sign autographs.  hmmm.... naw, that wouldn't be right!

Obviuosly the most critical drivers are those for Team Impala. I think they're giving free rides in the car again this year, maybe we can strap a lipstick cam on the front wing element and get a flying lap around Sebring.

John

That guys, is just fantastic  ;D

Still I'll be at Brands Hatch next Sunday - I'm sure that makes you as jealous of me as I'll be of you  ::)

Your right Lee, It was me that got interviewed at PLM. I was only thinking the other day whatever happened with that interview footage. Is it on this video as i haven't had time to sit down and watch it through yet.

Hi Randy,
               I am leaving on Monday night but so late it will be virtually Tuesday. I would offer to race you but my road is longer than yours ::)
It is a bloody endurance race just to get there ;D
Canada Phil

Chris, not yet. What you'll see on my site is just a work in progress, there's still more to come, and even edits to what I'm showing now. Topics: great access to cars & drivers/Shane Lewis/history/favorite cars, and more. Louie is going to shoot some video for me this week, and I'm always on the lookout for more stills.  Lee has been great about providing some of his awesome shots, and there will be more of that too.  But if any of you have stills that you took (and own) I'd be interested. Are you coming to Sebring?
John

John,
I took a fair amount of photos at last years race, including the race itself from various turns, the pits and, of course the Turn 10 Wedding.

My photo's are hosted at my Webshots area here http://community.webshots.com/user/route66weasel

The Sebring 2005 photos specifically are in two folders
here http://community.webshots.com/album/302390817JubWln
and here http://community.webshots.com/album/302429987TvgQYa

Please feel free to browse.

Steve

Do you want race stills or campsite / people / Turn 10 stills.

Yes I will be at Sebring again.

Regards
Chris

Mainly Turn 10 shots, but cars could be useful too.  I might need some Arnage campsite (Sebring) shots as well, just depends on what I use from various interviews. Shots of you with a driver would be useful, as I'm definitely going to talk about the access that we all enjoy with the ALMS, and Chris, you spoke about getting invited into the Aston trailer...

Steve, you have some very nice shots there, and I'll go through them and make some notes next time I get a chance to work on the video, which will be in a couple of weeks.

Anybody have any old old shots? Like of Andretti or Elford or that era?  They would not have to be at Sebring, again, the main thing is finding shots that have clear ownership as to avoid rights issues, or paying an arm and a leg for.  Lee has provided some great shots his dad took in the late 50's but I could use anything the 60's on up.  I've found some great shots on line of the triumph teams at Sebring, but finding and getting permission would be next to impossible.. Do you UK guys have anything in your dad's album?

We've got some great shots of CA people with Dave Richards of Aston Martin Rcaing after the race. I've also got shot of myself with Allan McNish and Frank Biela.

Sweet, show 'em. (please?)

 :D

-Lee

I've got beads.

Yes, please share!

John

Here we are Lee and John.

Here's (from left to right) Chris, me, David Richards, JPC, Andy Z

Sebring 2005 - taken by David's wife on my camera.

Frank Biela and I and then also with Andy Z

Allan Mcnish

A not great one of David Brabham just before he got in the car for the last stint to win GT1 (if anyone can do wonders with Photoshop I'd greatly apprecaite it)

And of course..........The Turn 10 Wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you can get to meet some in Le Mans as well!!!! After the 2004 race!

How's this?

Bad Pieter, very bad. First get your tags right!

[img]http://url[/ img] works just a bt better....

try again its not working ole chum.

Modified it, try again.

Cheers, that works!!!

 

Has anyone been able to copy this or is it not supposed to be copied?

Martini...Woohooooooooo in Sebring

I don't know how! But please feel free to try to copy it.

Cheers, that works, very nice photos especially the Spyker jacket.  The boots look new?  hopefully they have been broken in, otherwise i can see you being an early causality.  I can still hear the instructor "lance that boil" and "only another four miles and you'll be off Pen-y-Fan", in march, rain, and very little viz, oh yes soaked to the skin and warm!!!

Yesterday I checked in the McGregor shop and from April, the new Spyker Le Mans 2006 series will be available. Expect jackets like these, poloshirts, rugbyshirts, you name it. As soon as it is available, I'll post (a link to) some pictures.

And yes, the boots are new and pain is expected. :(

Nice pics Pieter - as FS says I hope you've worn those boots in!!! 

The only treatment for a new pair of boots is for other people to tread and scuff all over them.  ;)

Assuming you've watched it to the end, the Quicktime file will have downloaded to your Temporary Internet Files folder (if using MS Windows).
In Windows this is a hidden folder.  You just need to unhide folders, find the folder, dig out the file and copy it to a normal folder.  The file name is 3.6.1 CINE.mov (http://3.6.1 CINE.mov)

Also, if you go to this thread from last August http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=4096.0 theres some (still live) links to earlier / different incarnations of this video, especially http://www.svpweb.com/Sebring2.html

...and to spill beer over them!

That's the earliest version of this project, and there's some fun stuff in there.  I had to abandon that version long term because of the music.  Its PERFECT, but if I ever put it on a DVD somebody would come and take my house away...

John 

John, I'm sure you could have a quiet word with Mr. Townshend  ;)

Get him to Turn 10, we'll get a few beers in him then get him to "autograph" a little piece of paper. heh, heh, heh  I mean you must know him right? After all its a small little island and there's only so many pubs one can hang out in.

John

Hi
Thanks for the advice Steve but I use Macs at home and work so it doesn't  work the same.

The wife is currently ironing the SEBRING clothes!?

Martini...

Nice job on the video, I really enjoyed it... and yes, Turn 10 is the place to be. Jupiter John, Randy and rest of the crew really show some good old southern hospitality.  Thanks guys for a great time last year.  Wish I could be there again this time but maybe next year.

Just remembered I had this from last year when you "set" up in the paddock signing pictures and stuff!

Great movie by the way.
