    Cool, thanks for the tip.

    Anytime. After your first time, you'll be looking for suspension kits, exhaust, intake, big brake kits. Then comes the roll cage, a helmet, and some type of number. LOL.. mark my words.

    YEP.

    I used to teach an entry level autocross course and yes, newbies shredded their tires. Every once in a while a kid got Dad's hot car, and then I helped shred the tires.

    It is a lot of fun if you know what you are doing. I don't own a car I dislike enough right now.
    Good Shooting, MarkCO

    Huh. I figured the GoPro cam would have been better, but I actually think the cell camera had a "flatter" picture and did just fine. Cell cam has my vote (if you're looking for opinions).

    The cellphone has a better image, but the depth perception on it is off.

    I'm going to run both, though.

    Kill the noise on the gopro, that is obnoxious.


    I hooked my cell phone into a Porsche at the track last summer. Ran like a champ and the driver had a good movie to watch at the end.

    Hearing the tires squeelin' would be cool though. How fast do you run in these races?
