When Wendi and I took on this task previously, we would literally walk around the pits on Saturday and Sunday after the race with a laptop and ask to grab peoples cards out of their cameras. Almost everyone was totally fine with it, but that was the only way we could reliably get the footage. I even purchased a portable one touch drive thing that photographers use to make backups when on safari or whatever, but it was very slow and a huge waste of time. Cheap laptop, with a USB external video card reader was the fastest/easiest. We regularly got 8-10 racers videos (3-4 sessions each) every weekend. Also, we would just grab whatever was on the card, and often the cold tire spins in sunday practice by random out of class people were the best stuff. Hah.
BUT, with this approach, we had hundreds of hours of footage. You have to dedicate a month to doing to video, not just a couple days.
Whatever you put together, THANK YOU. WZ
