You can actually send 1gb files via www.yousendit.com. Not sure how fast you connection is though. Let me know if you need someone to edit it, although it won't be anything professional.

edit: i also didn't see the pack for a while..... didn't seem like anyone was going 65 mph to me.... more like 90+ for me to catchup

Hey don't generalize all the norcal drivers like that. I'm not one of them. Remember I did catch you once I broke away from the pack. Trust me if you drive that people in SF will let you know and you won't get anywhere in SF unless your semi agressive.

OK so now we know the REAL story eh?
I was up front and I don't think I broke past 55 mph from 101 to 237, but to catch me you would def need to go 75+ to make up even a quarter mile back up.
If we had better range with the walkie talkies, then I would of been able to communicate what to do and maybe even slow down or pull over.
Once we merge on to 237, about a quarter mile down where it goes from 2 to 3 lanes. I would of told everyone to get in the fast lane and be ready to pass the damn Scion then.
In any case we did the best we could do. If I had more time to plan and could do it again, I would of probably lined up cars at the start of 237 near El Camino and then merged everyone.
I still haven't received the other video footage, and then we still have to edit it as well.
Stay Tuned another week or so.
