I'd love to have something like that for next year.

I have a bullet camera mounted in the grill - and a digital AVI recorder in the cockpit.

I also have a GoPro Hero camera - it does an OK job (I haven't gotten very creative with it). Mounted on the hood, it gets more wind noise than engine noise. Also, it eats batteries like a fat kid on Smarties.

P.s. Data acquisition is by Traqmate.

In general, 928s are under represented at the track.
They sure are.

I'm typically faster than a 944T, except for Roy Chong's beast. But then again he breaks a lot

Hmmm... Haven't you had your share of rough patches, too?

So , not to side track the discussion, but does the Traqmate allow you to then sync your video or is there some other magic? How friendly is it for someone who is not a total IT type?

Thanks, I love the finished product.....just would want to make sure that what I purchased was complete.

You have to buy the $200 extra Traqvideo program to sync video... Luckily, I find it quite easy to do. In fact, I did a bit of research on entry level data acquisition devices, and picked Traqmate because it's the most user friendly.
