Thunderhill CCW Bypass - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Just a short clip of my fastest lap from yesterday. Still a slow street car, but she sure is fun!

ChaseCam mount on the hood - unfortunately some wire has gone loose in the camera, so it only records in black and white now (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I should talk to Randy about that and see what I can do. Panasonic DMC-LZ7 mounted to an IO/Port mount on the roll bar pointing at me - way overkill in resolution at the moment for filming my steering wheel, but technology sure has changed since I started recording a few years ago - this records at 848x480 to SD cards. A 2GB card (which is its max) will just handle a session. 1/4 the size and less than that in weight than my chasecam recording gear (old Sony Digital 8), no moving parts, and I can dump the contents to the laptop in 4 minutes. Sooo much better. If only it took video in as well =)

Hood camera is mounted on the right side, so video is offset. If it looks like I'm missing a left apex, I probably am, but not by as much as you think (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Chasing down an Evo that's on mild R-compound tires. A couple clear mess ups on my part, so I have the potential of a 2:11, I think (he brakes way earlier than I do, and that was messing up some of my corner entries).

Enjoy! I'll put up a nicer video with text sometime within the next few days - it's been a long time since I put effort into my vids!

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 200 Joined: 16-January 04 From: San Jose, CA Member No.: 132	Spent a few hours writing a quick little plugin for Final Cut Pro. Ain't nothing quite like drawing numbers by pixel! I need to learn GL so I can write a decent plugin.... Video in the first post has been updated with timing... ooo... first 9.1 seconds have a buggy time, and the timer doesn't stop when I cross the line the second time, but how often do you see a personal video with a lap time counter? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Hopefully I'll get some more time at some point to make it a bit better.
