La Junta track vid - Session 1 HPDE3

All the footage I got, since my weekend was cut short. I edited out a bunch of boring laps of me by myself. :p

Your choice of 3 viewing methods ranging for poor to great quality, depending on how long you want to wait, heh:

Really cool. What camera are you using? I was just using a real cheapo, but now I'm starting to look at some better ones...

Sony DVD-405. It writes directly to mini-DVD, and I have it mounted with a clamp mount connected to one of the LATCH system brackets on my rear deck.

Interesting, I thought a camera that writes to DVD would have problems with the G-forces and bumps at the track. I tried to use my sisters video cam that is a hard disk based camera at MMP, and it worked fine for the warmup lap, but as soon as I took turn 1 with speed it froze up. Thought it was becasue of the hard disk not liking the shaking and turns...

I've used it this way during some 12.3-12.4 drag strip runs with hard launches and no-lift shifts, I've used it during a rallycross with tons of constant bumps and rockiness, I've used it in several autocrosses with a lot of jerky turns, and then you see it here on the road course. It seems to have no problem writing to the DVD in extreme situations, luckily.
