Default A Solo 2 video that is actually pretty cool to watch

Watching Solo 2 videos well just usually isn't all that interesting. But here is one I thought was pretty cool done at the Alabama Region SCCA's last event. The camera was mounted in the "nose" of a miata. As you can see our venue is one huge *** lot. Biggest in the southeast I believe.

I just saw his original video and he did something really interesting. Mounted the camera close to the ground behind the driver's door (second half of the video) and you see the torture to the tires (screeching like hell) and steering input and some wheel air he does while driving a BMW as he put it with "dry rotted michelins". There is a big spin out at one point. Pretty funny.

I think CivicSiRacer has some cool Solo2 videos too that involve "ghosting" (think ghost car in Mario Kart or Gran Turismo series). It's a great way to visualize where one car is gaining/losing time compared to another car.

That was, indeed totally awesome. Makes me think about getting some new control arm bushings, strangely enough... look at those wheels wobble!

Cool vids. Speed that first one up about 1.3 times and you know what it's like to drive a shifter kart.

That is indeed one awesome camera angle in the second vid. I need a cone cam.
