Crashed the new maroon car in the semi's or finals of the American Muscle Car Shootout. I didn't actually see it but, people said he got loose around 200-300 feet, tagged the wall and grazed the other side of the wall. I saw the car back on the trailer afterwards and the right front corner-panel and right rear corner-panel were caved in pretty good.

Tracks here use those camaeras. I saw a racer fuss one night that there was no way his car backed out of the beams and went red. The track op took him in the back and replayed the tape. Racer left scratching his head but not fussing.

Jack,
You have let the cat out of the bag. It is a secret weapon, but only for the "new" cars. You see the camera on the tree is synced with the one on the starting line, they in turn read the reaction times and also note if you have spoilers and such hanging down. This information is fed to the computers in the CJ's and Drag Paks. They also pick up on the same readings of the "old" car that is in the race and feed that cars info also. The camera at half track monitors the progress and will feed this into the CJ's and Drag Paks so that it can increase power or decrease it just so they stay ahead of the "older" car that is in the race. The final camera is just for conformation purposes and the drivers of the "new" cars get to down load a pic of them ahead of the "old" car when they check their data. Mystery solved.
