Had another great autocross this past weekend. It was a short, fast, but tricky little course if you didn't read it right. Was an absolute blast in the vette. Even gave about 5 ride-a-longs and got in 10 runs. I managed a nice 1st place in class and 2nd overall. Luckily some of the A-class (modified/R-compounds) guys where at an SCCA event. I now can't wait to get tires for the ZO6 wheels. Oh she's going to piss some people off, but in a good friendly way. :D

Check out some in car action....

Sorry for the crappy sound, I've got something lose on the camera. Can't figure what's rattling on it...but I know it's from the camera it's self.

cool

what camera are you using?

the mount on my Canon pulled out of the plastic case, not to mention it eats batteries.

and the USB camera just plain died all together

I got an el cheapo insignia flip camera (camera and 2gb card for $80 @ bestbuy). The mount on mine cracked too and I just got some plastic epoxy and put it back together. More I think about it, I think it's the battery cover. I'm gonna try to tape it and see what happens. Hmm, might have to record my drive to work tomorrow and see how it goes. Mine isn't too hard on batteries, I think. Two AA about every half hour of taping I guess. I only use it for my autocross vids and I only use it for web quality as it pretty much sucks on the TV.

Sucks that most electronics now days are just considered throw away items. Nothing lasts anymore.

That looks like a lot of fun! Time to spank some other cars and show them what a C4 can do, huh?

Unfortunately, it's a trade off. You paid $80 for a camera. $80 is disposable money. If you paid $400 then you would have gotten one that probably lasts. Technology is great when it's cheap, but the companies are still out there to make money.

Certainly am not arguing that fact. Buying electronics now days is like playing craps. You win some, you loose some. Most nice setups are out of date before they really wear out...hince why I bought, what I'm calling, a starter kit.

A guy I race with is a camera freek, buys old cameras,etc.

For the roadraces, the buys up old video cameras at flee markets for $10-$20 and uses them in the car until they crap out then throws them away. He's getting 3 0r 4 races per camera.
