In-car camera from Budds Creek IHRA S/S

Manual trasmission cars are hands down, the most fun to watch as well as drive. Can you imagine watching a full event of stick shift cars, with a split screen jumbo tron and both cars having in-car cameras. It would only take a couple dozen cameras and a crew to switch them out. Or you could set-up 40-50 cars like nascar with motorized cameras. Now that would be super cool! Drivers that wanted to participate could place a quick disconnect camera bracket permanent on the cage/bar. Bring back Modified production...Bring back the Corvettes and chevy IIs....9500 RPMs and row that stick! Now that is excitement....Ok, it was just a dream....BUT IT WOULD BE VERY COOL!

Wade,, Don't know if you were there, but at Byron Dragway in July of 2001, at the US Classnationals, the call went out on Friday morning for all stick shift cars on the property to come to the lanes. If I recall correctly, there were over 60 manual trans'ed stockers and superstockers that answered the call. It was pretty awesome to watch that action!
I'm sure Nitro Joe still has all the stats and the body count from that famous event.
Thanks again,, Alex,,, hope you're feeling fine.
