Default Slow motion launches by T1 Race Development

Here's some rough footage we were able to get at the Midwest FWD Nationals shot at 240 frames per second, pretty cool to see things like that.

Now just make it jump back and forth and call it chopped and screwed! Throw a little h-town Texas rap in the background and you got a hell of a music video

I'm actually surprised there isn't much weight transfer on the hole shots. Watching the tire spin outta the hole makes you see why FWD 60' times can't compare to RWD.

crazy to see the chassis flex and move as much as they do.

LMAO!!! totally thought the same thing too! what kind of camera was this? cool to see this technology available to the average consumer. i can see this helping people with the short times just like the big big boys do.

This was with a Sony HDR-XR500. It's usually much more clear, our normal media guy wasn't there so Wayne was recording and i think a setting was off or something. The other problem is that it only records a few seconds worth and stretches it out to about 12 seconds. Very cool seeing it, now i'm hooked. Looking in to some better camera technology. This was one of the top models a few years ago. Like anything else electronics, it's old now. lol

This is very common with RWD cars and a very fundamental tool to see what different settings do and if they help your setup.

Actually, rear tire load is highest when the suspension stops squating.

Badass video btw. Reminds me of mythbusters
