Driver comments: came in a bit too hot and turned in a beat too soon; many untested new variables, including Toyo Proxes shaved to 3/32 + driver error in pushing too hard too soon before Proxes were hot enough to really grip the track; R2 RX-7 will be back.
Meh. The passenger has his head in the way just as it's about to get good and then the camera points upward and you basically miss it. Not worth watching.
@wixtrall The toyo proxes were going through their first heat cycle. Either not enough heat in them, or they were shaved too far down before track day.
@wixtrall Seconds later a race spec $500k NSX went into the wall a little further down the track. They kept announcing for everyone to slow down and take it easy in the early morning session.
i know go pros are for extreme sports and crap like that, but I honestly hate how people just rave about them being awesome video camera because they shoot in "HD". It's just a stupid selling point. It's not true HD, I mean the image is being taken into the camera through the whole the size of a pencil tip. How much information can you possibly fit through that. No depth of field, no focusing, they are just annoying. But for this type of thing. They work well.
@TheRealrocker74 I'm glad my GH2 wasn't in the car. I'm sure it would have flown, broke the lens and the body. I do plan on mounting the GH2 on the car when its race ready. Probably even with an anamorphic lens.
@eyepatchentertainmen Jeez! It's probably because it's not the lightest object in the world, and if that thing gets some inertia, I'm sure it could do some damage to the car, anyone in it, or ITSELF!
@TheRealrocker74 You mean too much depth of field? Yeah I agree, the sensor size is shocking on that thing. It does record HD though; that's what the raster resolution says anyway.
@TheRealrocker74 The reason everyone raves about them is they are damn near bomb proof. I don't want to be strapping 800+ of camera equipment to the outside or even inside my race car. If the GoPro's case or outer lens gets scratched, no big deal and $40 later it's like new. Not to mention the mounting options GoPro offers make it easy to attach it to your toy.

Gotta love the "blame the tires" excuse. How about "I ran out of talent" instead and leaving the tires out of it completely?
Sorry about the car, btw.
