In-Car Cameras OK or NOT?
I am looking for NHRA's position on in-car camera usage. Now I'm speaking of video/movie type footage, and I guess exterior mounted video footage as well. Can it be used during Sportsman Qualifying, and Eliminations? Can it be pointed in the opponents lane during Eliminations?

Wade,
I believe you might be able to do it as long as there Is "no fun" involved and never put on the internet. Those two things as well as many other infrigment rules are somewhere in NHRA'S rules book for all sportsman racers. Jason Fuller ;-) |

I certainly hope someone from Nhra speaks up on this and gives you an answer I know what I’ve been told and I am going to hold my tongue until I see something written here

Re: In-Car Cameras OK or NOT?
Can anyone explain the why of this for me?
May not be intentionally directed at the racer in the other lane without NHRA permission. Curtis |

I'm guessing it's for the major media in something like pro stock.

Is it possibly to help with controlling electronic cheating. I would think it would not be that hard to have it set up with a sensor to help with judging the finish line.

Re: In-Car Cameras OK or NOT?
I've had a GoPro in my Stocker for 3 years and no one has ever said anything about it. Gone through tech with it right there on my cross bar. It is aimed right out the front of the car with vision of me, the dash, and the tree. No problems ever. Jim
