that being said.. doesnt you car have a 17" spare? I always thought about buying a second one just for drag runs

I had a setup like that a few years ago, when I ran UMTR for a short time. I found some 17x9 Cobra R replicas and had a set of MT 275/40/17 DRs. I had a best of 1.77 60 ft. and was usually around a 1.83-1.90 60ft. (Granted I make less power then you, but I wouldn't have gotten in the 12s without them!)

Bought a GoPro HD Hero 2. Testing the camera before I make anything cool. Sorry the vids kinda boring. I get on it around the 3:10 mark.
Youtube knocks the quality down from the source file but still looks decent. Shot at 1080p.

Nice video. I really like the sound of the blower when you hit it after the turn.

A new video, still not a real one, just compiled some shots from the different camera positions i had tried. seeing what works and what doesn't. I did learn if i am going to use source audio not to put it near the antenna again since it made such horrible wind noise.

that opening shot, and the shot looking back from infront of the wheel is pretty sweet. How bad is the wind noise from the rear bumper of the car?
