Why not? It's not like NHRA is ever going put a stocker on TV.

I see lot's of NHRA viedos on YouTube. If there's a real reason why we can't have them in the car, I'd like to know before I buy one myself...

Jim,

You can use the camera. Ed and some others have interpreted the rule as you can not video without NHRA's permission.

It says transmitted, the last time I looked the word meant a live feed over the radio or TV, meaning to transmit. When was the last time you heard someone say I just watched a race that was transmitted.

I think many like to read the worst before they thoroughly read and understand what the rules means.

Anyway that's my take on the rule and I will be taking in car videos according to the new NHRA rule.

So you're saying you can keep posting in car runs on here from NHRA nationals,divs, and
opens?What's your take on the taping of class runs and elims. from the stands?

No, that's not what it says. It says that the video may not be transmitted. Here's the definition:
transĀ·mit/tranzˈmit/

Verb:
  • Cause (something) to pass on from one place or person to another.
I'm sure they will interpret that to mean posting online anywhere. They mean to keep a lock on any and all video coverage of the event. I wonder what would happen if a spectator showed up in the stands or on the grounds with a tripod and a 600mm lens??

I had a chance to talk with Garcia at the PRI show about the camera's and he told me they are going to add some wording, to the rule. I don't think they have an issue with the non metal mounting if inside the car. The concern was with one flying off after not being attached correctly. I have had the suction cup mount above 150mph, and many have had them much higher. I have also not latched the suction cup correctly and ran over the damn thing with the golf cart at five mph! He mentioned a tether "may" satisfy them, and that he wanted to add some "common sense" wording ( I had to chuckle at that, NHRA - Common sense aren't two words heard together very often) He said they had a lot of questions about the cameras at the show, and would try to make some clarification soon. He also gave me the impression that they don't want real time video transmissions. And that is the issue, not YouTube.

I have sold the GoPro Systems in the past and really liked the results. When NHRA banned all cameras period on Juniors year ago and killed my deal with GoPro on the Junior I was less than thrilled, but they act like they may revisit the issue with mounting. Another camera that was at the PRI show and would be worth a look is the Re-Play XD. They have a billet mount and from what I understand the owners are racers, and the quality seemed top notch both in equipment, and video.

Not really sure why NHRA objects to the in car video. It makes sense that using a live feed to take advantage of track position would not be allowed, but you could argue that video taken as a "tuning aid" or entertainment purposes should be legal. The Pro cars have had video (supplied by ESPN?) for a while, and that hasn't affected anything. The new rule also states that "Incident video may not be transmitted under any circumstances", probably to keep the results off YouTube, etc.
