Examples from my SCCA region/Porsche Car Club when I was still state side. My cars are pretty much set primarily for drifting and has very solid rear ends.. vibration from the road surface is magnified alot. I didn't properly brace the camera either. I am about to buy a Go Pro... small zero vibration........excuse my language also. in car
side mount

I've only got a suction cup mount for it. Also, I think the viewing would be worse from inside. | ||

It would show you driving, I think it is better, actually. It is closer to driving view, also. | ||

I have a cheap car even, but i dont have a lot of money to spare. i talked to one local racing club, and they wanted $2000 to join them. is that normal? it seems like way too much money... |

Matt is dead on but there are exceptions. You can race a bone stock car and have some success. There are stock classes in most nationwide amateur motorsports. The only thing you have to pay for is the entry fee for the event. | ||

SCCA/NASA will boot drifters quite quickly regardless of location. It's a matter of safety hazard on a circuit and at an autox the idiots knock over tons of cones because the gates aren't set up to hold that type of width. Either way, if you're afraid of competition that is based off time and PAX instead of opinion, it's fine. This post has been edited by flohtingPoint on Apr 4 2010, 04:46 AM | ||
