I've seen some cool video and want to try that too. I like the rearward facing view. You see the starting line get smaller.

My brother gave me a lip-stick camara and I used it once. Good picture, but it picks up ignition noise. I'll look for a better one, because clips from inside are fantastic.

We've put them in a few cars I've raced. Here they are. In the camaro, it was a normal Sony handheld digital video camero. In the dragster and vette, don't remember the brand, but it was the smallest pos digital camera we could find. Not any bigger than a wallet.

'69 Camaro. This was a 9.12 pass.

'04 Worthy dragster Forward vid was a 7.60

and backwards. Only 1/8th mile run, so probably about a 4.80 or so.

Did you hit the rev limiter on that run?

No. Never did hit the limiter. Never noticed it until we put the camera in it. We were fighting carb issues all year until we had one built by Stinnett. Not sure if that was the problem or not. After Stinnett built one, got the car down to 9.01 without any more issues.

Used a splint ring hanger, used to secure pipes. Similar to this ---> http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/5E589

There is a hole tapped out on top in that pic, used a piece of sheet metal, bolted it into that hole, then another bolt coming through the sheet metal into the bottom of the camera. Doesn't look the best, but it works. Put some foam rubber inside the clamp to help with vibration. Same mount we used in the dragster and vette, just with a smaller camera.

Wish I would have had the camera on it during this pass.

Nothing. We bought it from a guy out of Texas that only raced it half a season. He wanted to get rid of it because he couldn't keep the front wheels down. He was running a 565 with big duke heads. We figured he was making way more power than us, so we didn't think it would pull the wheels up on us. Sure enough. The suspension setup on it was so far off from what it should have been. Talked to the guys at Don Davis and they said they set the suspension up before it leaves their hands, so obviously this guy did something to it. It's much calmer now as you can see in the video with the camera on top of it. Rides the wheelie bar about 50 feet.
