How many of you had in-car cams? I've only seen a smattering of videos show up (thanks Rob, Jeff's, Sam, et al). I had the best weekend this year and am still pumped about it (read that, eager for more vids). I'm already getting an engine lined up for the deuce!
Mine only worked Saturday...wont be able to get video until some time next week.
My camera (hehe had to edit, wrote camaro) wasn't tight enough and rotated on its base due to vibration... not worth transfering from tape
I'm working on R4 right now. I was running video out the front and a Hero was recording a rear view (Smile, Gary!) If all goes right, I'll have some picture-in-picture stuff working.
(I tried to do the entire race, but clock drift between the two videos meand the longer they ran on screen together, the more out of synch they became.) Final Cut Pro didn't do a good job keeping the stuff sunched up. or one of the cameras (or both) lied about their framerate a little.
R3 will likely end up being a normal video, I think. The little hero didn't behave itself.
I didn't get to run my camera.
Where was the rest of your crew? or did I just miss them?... I was kinda "out of it" most of the weekend...Quote:

Race 4 from the grandstands. Sorry about the blurriness, I think there was moisture in the lens. Also, I didn't edit out the camera movement.
Listen for the Jeff Wirtz Fan Club in the background.

I wonder what the % of in-car cams are out there for Analog/digital/HD
-=- T
I used a panasonic hd camera but due to the vibrations and heavy Gs in the corners it skipped... especially mid corner to corner exit... I will try and post what I have...Quote:

Yeah, racing is better than watching.
I have 3 cameras, two that work, one which has never been used to record anything. None of them have been remotely close to the car since last september.... I always forget to even get it out of the truck!Quote:

It's not TWS but here is my footage from the Hallett weekend.

I'll try to get TWS edited tonight and up.
It's quite a bit smoother on the pavement... just FYI.Quote:

I know! :oops:Quote:

It's funny b/c the pinkie finger on my right glove always feels like it is not pulled on all the way. Now I just always seem to do it without even thinking about it. :lol:Quote:

If I had turned in, it would have been messy.
How about that one shot of Glenn facing the wrong way and me in the background spinning! :lol:
From the stands...I thought for sure you were going to hit Glenn hard....somehow you missed and were cleared by the 2 behind you...Quote:

Ya know, if Raybob ever starts driving instead of drifting, he might actually get fast.Quote:

What was your sig a while back? Something about "being sucked into the vortex of Da Rook?" I need to borrow it wik a slight modification :-D
*edit* Anyone behind us have a video of this incident? Would like it more as a learning tool to see if I could have done anything different.Quote:

But, just for you, I'll try remember to give you the finger when ahead of you. :D You asked for it!
"And the *wham* out of nowhere I was sucked into Da Rooks door!"
No video here. I managed to run my battery down and ONLY had video of sitting on grid. I need one those cameras with a remote so I can turn it on as we roll off grid.Quote:
