Couple drag racing vids from my brother

An F.P.L. engineer by day, he just got a Go Pro Hero 3 video camera mounted on top and sent these to me today. Palm Beach Raceway. He's been doing this for quite a while as a hobby.

(these are his notes...don't ask me what they mean)

1st time run at 5:PM
.001 light
7.408 @ 182.6





3rd round of eliminations (they switched to 1/8 after a racer went off the
end of the track and damaged the net)

.005 light
4.747 @143 backing in to a 4.74 dial in

Cool videos and that's a fast ride. My son runs his street car at PBIR. It's a nice track.

Hey guys....thanks for the nice comments...I'll pass them on to my Bro-bro....

He said he's going to experiment with some different angles for future runs.

I was at WalMart today and those Hero 3 cameras are only $200.00.....not bad!

A good buddy of mine has had days where he averaged an .015 reaction time through the entire weekend in pro-comp and super gas.


His son is no slouch either
