NEW Rules

[RichardP]

The camera rule sounds good on the surface. When something bad does happen, it's way easier to figure out what happened with good video. Realistically, in application, it will be a complete shit show. Here are a couple of quotes I picked up in a brief search of this site:

Race 3
The rear view didn't turn out as good as I would have liked. Will get R2 and R4 uploaded tonight. For some reason R1 didn't get recorded.

Damn, nice work getting that posted so quickly, I didn't get any video at all from the weekend, with all of the car issues, I loaded my camera up for R3 and it wasn't reading my SD card.

Race 3 (forgot to start recording for the start)

My battery won't hold a charge. Got approx 1:47 total, so basically just the grid... Trying to find a replacement for TWS.

Epic video fail for me this weekend, forgot my cam on Sat, and ran out of batt on Sunday.

Here is a whopping 1 minute of fame that I took during R3. Completely forgot to charge the camera for Saturday, so missed the drama between me and Ian.

Good thing camera refused to work so I don't have video of everybody passing me at ease.

R1
Video ended short for some reason.

gopro crapped out on me. only got 1/2 of R2, half of R3, and a sliver of R4. It would just stop recording.
online investigation suggests reformatting the SDcard before each event. dunno.

Reliably getting all races on video is really tough, especially if you are a single person operation. Josh tried to record video from his first event. I think he got a couple of laps and quite a bit of footage of his open hood in the paddock before the whole thing crapped out on him. I hope this rule quickly goes the way of mandatory in car radios, which also seemed like a good idea on the surface...
