First track event
Hi All:
I did my first track even in my Fireblade se7en. I was rusty, but the car felt great. Here are some links to the movies.
Trying to keep up with a Viper (Small).
Trying to keep up with a Viper (HUGE).

Thanks for the compliment. No, the noise is from the wind. I usually use a mic input and tape the mic somewhere in the cockpit. This gets the engine
noice but keeps the wind out. I forgot it that time.
When watching others' track videos, I get borded after watching a lap, so I kept it short.

Really nice quality video and sound. Out of interest what setup are you using?
Now you just need a turbo or a busa engine to take the Vipers etc on down the straights 
BTW Also jealous of the weather  although its nice here at the moment its getting a little chilly in the garage in the evenings

Which video did you watch? The large video is just a .mov file. The small one is a .mov file converted to Flash's .flv format. A lot of what I
do during the day is figuring out how to get huge video files onto the web. The FLV work best for that--which is why YouTube uses (an old version) it.
I actually found the sound awful, so it's iteresting you guys like it.
The video camera is just the family Sony mini DV recorder. I need to get a couple bullet cameras with a solid-state recorder.
The day was beautiful. 40 degrees F when I woke up and 70 degrees F during the event. I could not have asked for better weather!

Viewed the big files. The sound is bad, but maybe because you edited it? You didn't, but there is a lot of like alien satelite noises.

I'd stick with that camera - that quality is better than many bullet cameras I've seen.
How did you mount it?

The camera below clamps to the rollbar. I wrapped the rollbar with electrical tape to keep it from ruining the paint.

is for a chopper tail light--maybe $3 at most (?).
