Re: How to stabilize car mounted cameras?

Create a "tripod". DIY version: - If you remember Doug Kott (raced an MR-S years ago in CST): he got an extra bar or 2 w/ suction cups and tied them into his existing suction cup setup. Made it super stable while hanging on the side of the car. It was just bolted/suction cupped together. L...

Re: Course data... aquisition in non-OBD2 cars

Also, fyi, if you don't plan to use obd2 or need 1080p60, you can get the older virb elite, which is under $200 & has accel/speed along w/ standard 1080p30 or 720p60. Works great. Tom tom bandit isn't too bad either - has better resolution, but I've only used it for one event & had data drops.

Anyone have a tubing bender I can borrow/rent?

In particular: to make a few bends on 1.25" OD aluminum tube. I'd rather not have to buy the Harbor Freight tubing roller if I can get away w/ it. This little side project is already costing way too much.

The deadline to sign up has been extended to Monday! We need at least 30 people or else we'll have to cancel our rental of the track (but not to worry, we'll still meet and have fun racing!) So we have 24 people instead of 30 right now. I can't speak for everyone, but I'd rather pay $50/person at 2...

I <3 Schools First Credit Union, but you'd have to be a student/staff/faculty at a school or have an immediate family member in one. Most credit unions have the same rates, though, so you can't really go wrong.

Just clarifying (per fb registration link):
- Do we register through scca site under "worker product"? It's $25, but specifically says CAM Challenge Worker. Or is our registration not available yet?
