Daytona evo in-car video clip (short)

Here's a quick clip I shot from the Rolex24 weekend. Friday had a parade laps event for Milestones club. It was too many cars, and they tried to keep everyone from spacing out for runs. Safety trucks on the banking, motorcycle cops pacing, etc. Result was creeping around at 30 mph. Boring. So, a few of us spaced out a bit of room on the last go around. I was able to get a bit over 100 on the straights, but very short lasting. I got thumbs up from the corner workers and pissy looks from motor cops.

You have to select widescreen on the bottom for proper aspect ratio.

Car Sounds Awsome

Did you mount the Camera on the Hood ?

Stock Internals ? Sounds like a really balanced motor.

Camera was on the inside of windshield. I bought a ChaseCam from chasecam.com. Inexpensive, lots of mounting potential, inside and out. I plan to make a vid of different spots one of these days, just havent had the time.

Stock internals, exhaust sound gets muted from inside, I'm curious to do an outside mount to see how it sounds. Any speed over 100, and you get the wind noise though. I have another track day at Barbers coming up, will play with mounting options hopefully.

Driving around Daytona was fun. It really puts those guys hitting the high banks at 180+ mph in perspective. Daytona is freaking huge!

Did you have to pay any thing to do that? That looks like fun. Too bad that they had trucks parked in the middle of the track.

Ooops, sorry. I should have said I bought the chasecam mount, I have a Canon minidv camcorder that attaches to the mount. It's the SM31 mount for $65.00. It works great.

Yeah, it was part of a package I bought, sponsored by Autoweek. It was the Milestones/Champions Club. We had a great breakfast and lunch on the lake, with former race drivers as guest speakers. The trucks were there to keep drivers off the banking, better safe than sorry. At the speed they tried to keep us at, you wouldn't be able to get up there anyways. The motor cops didn't care how fast we were going, the track management was a bit grumpy for the fact that we were holding up things a bit by spacing out for runs. Oh well. One cop didn't mind at all though, he would pace the yellow ferrari that was ahead of me everytime he opened it up.
