some guy that was at martin when we were testing posted this.




Charlie ~ You need to strap your video camera onto your rollbar for a run or two. You just turn it on when you're ready to stage. We did that at Seattle a few years back. It makes for a trick film, to watch the run from inside the car. Our camera was aimed right over Dad's shoulder so it got the tach, too. Plus the sounds...nothing like a hemi in high gear!




I did this and I learned a few things about my driving technique. I angled the camera so you could see my hands,feet and the tach. I had no idea that when I foot braked the car that I was holding the brake for soooo long. After I saw this and made a little mental adjustment I shaved some time off of my 60's!!


....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

thats the good thing about learning to race with a stick car, the car doesnt move until the foot does.
