JamieP Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Fun day out in the car today, traction was terrible but i enjoyed a couple of runs, i didn't bother with the nitrous. did a 10.8 and 10.9 at 152mph, both 60 ft's was 2.2 seconds.

Westy Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Fair bit of tyre squeal at the start...cant help but think with better traction off the start line that those times would have been better!? Your car is an animal though JP...wish mine could go like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Love the loud pops and bangs as you fly down the strip. Can you hear them when in the car, as you can't hear them on the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Cheers guys, yes josh i can hear them in the car, video recorders dont pick them up well though. Really need to get my sizeable ass in gear and hook mine up Took me a while to get use to it, what with it having no veiwing screen, gotta say i love it now though, im going to get a couple more so i can have one inside and one pointing out the back.

I've got a rear view camera going in over the winter, in the tailgate, and I'll be routing that through to use as a reversing cam - but, I can split the signal and put it into recorder. Be interested to see how you mount a GoPro on the back, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leet45single Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) awesome, I missed you run though, I was to busy cleaning. easy 9's with better tyres on, only a matter of time.

I have one of them HKS dmr's in the car also that records all the time, camera front and back, video quality is poor though, handy for is somebody was to crash into me, id have it on video.

Kirk Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Good to see you again mate. Shame we missed your runs but we did hear you as we rolled in Don't think anyone beat your terminal speed for the rest of the day although the orange rex did manage a 9.8 but only at 145mph.

Neil-NA Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 So gutted we arrived late and didn't see any runs. Real nice to meet you though and as always the car looked fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great bit of kit, its like a black box for your car. Is it solely a video camera of does it record say speed or g's etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
