meet a buddy that's got a 05 Porsche with an aftermarket supercharger making 5 lbs of boost . we raced 7 times and i fortunately got him on the big end for 6 wins .da sucked 3800 ft but still ran a 12.07@116.26mph which corrected turned out to be 11.47@121.65mph which is my best corrected time ever . Darren also had one of those go pro cameras that you can put every where .i don't know how to post the video of us on utube. its on the auto club drag ways site of utube . his screen name is ron de killer . maybe someone could post here for me as he did a great job of making that video . sure glad the racing season is here

I'm glad you had a good time. Those were some nice big end charges to put down you buddies Porsche.

I'm going to have to get me one of those Go Pro cameras now.

yeah poor darren, they guys that did the rebuild and tune are giving him the run around on the final tune plus when i was looking over his motor i saw that they left off the major heat shield on the car. which could be one source of his car falling on its face when he gets to 4500 in third . either that or he has a fuel delivery problem .i put the 5 lb spring in it for him and took out the 8lb till he gets them to finish the tune .didnt want him to blow up a 15k rebuild .his car is going to really boggie when it gets finished

Great Video ! I thoroughly enjoyed it.... I used to race that track when they first opened it up.

I recently bought the GoPro HD Hero.... great camera for motorsports I think. I have only done a quick drivearound with it thus far, but will be shooting video's with it in many different positions over the coming year.

Did you use the suction cup for any shots ? I am worried about it holding at different places on the car. I also got the rollbar clamps included with mine.... looking forward to trying them.

Here's my drivearound.... has a great wide angle, but I don't think I have my sound set-up right because my car sounds really quiet in this video.... but its not, it rattles the windows in the house. I'll figure it out.

Nice Brad! I love it when the Corvettes kick ass. It looks like he was getting you off the line though. 15K in the engine? Yikes!
