Default track video

Here's a few laps of my sprint race at Watkins Glen (2004 Clash).

http://www.ephotomotion.com/porsche/race.wmv

I thought I'd share it here because we're all 944 turbo guys!

I mounted a bullet camera next to the tow hook in the front. I'm pretty happy with the results, although the camera was crooked.

You can see where I put tape over the wires to the camera in this pic.

Awesome Video Van
God I love that track ...The only track I liked better than the Glen was Bridgehampton...
Too bad they got rid of the straightway after the S's but it's a lot safer ...
I love where you mounted the cam ... Great Idea !!
Regards
Ed
ps I have the same car and love that track ...Makes me want to track my car again .... The biggest rush for me was going thu the S's

Yes, it's a turbo S, running in E class. I have the Bilstein 944 cup car shocks and my wheel rate is about 500 lbs at all four corners. I also have adjustable sway bars, but they're at the softest setting.

Thanks for your comments!

911 is getting the engine fully rebuilt.

Should be done next week.

But I've got another 951 project that I've been working on..... (a track car).
