hello

a bunch of us nipped down to the local airfield this afternoon and setup an impromptu quarter mile. i was testing my new bumpercam and made a short video.

its only a few minutes long, shows 3 races

edit: an arse-cam would have been more interesting...

Nice vid - where abouts is that airfield? Seems like it gets a fair bit of use looking at those doughnut marks on the tarmac

Love the bit at the end :pmsl:

nice to see the camera idea is being put to such good use

what was all the grinding noise in the braking zones?

was that paul ( cannit ) in the vid too?

i think it was paul, if hes the guy with the "big cya" integra

the grinding noise was the front undertray which came detached on my first run. it wasnt causing any problems (and i didnt have any bolts to fix it) so i just left it dragging.

as regards alex and his car. there is no straight line difference in our cars whatsoever. who ever gets away with the best launch will maintain the lead right to the end. he's mighty pissed that his
