Laguna in-car track video, the dry line Options

Absolutely amazing!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Sorry to hijack slightly -- but what kind of camera are you using, and how is it mounted in your car? Mine has a harness bar, and for the upcoming season, I want to take some in-car vids for myself (and to share with all of you; Putnam Park might not be nearly as picturesque or exciting as Laguna Seca, but who doesn't enjoy 914s on the track? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) )

Also, have you though about possibly putting small lights just over your gauges so that you can see them on the video?

Thanks!!!

This video is just a glimpse of how much fun we have at a DE! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

The camera is a JVC "GR-D72U" digital video mini cam.
Yeah, I wish we could see the guages better, too.

I've been noting the gear and rpm's and viewing my gear calc spreadsheet for referance.

For example: When I upshift into 5th under the footbridge past the starter stand on the main straight, that's around 6500 rpm's in 4th ( "S" ) gear or 94 mph.

The top of third gear at 7000 RPM's ( "M" gear ), passing the sound shack on the uphill approach to #6, the approach to #7, the exit of #9 and the approach to #11 is 80 mph before shifting into 4th ! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)


I still want to install a small red warning light on the dash that lights up when I'm on the brakes.
