Thanks for all the pictures and the video,mind blowing awesome! Pat answered my question on the actual smoothness of the salt. Looks bumpy ,hows the rump? :D


How did the new RV work out for you guys? Johnny's truck does look awesome I will say.

Those kids are gonna be big time gear-heads. :)

The RV worked great. It's the best thing Pat ever let me buy :hug: Gave the kids somewhere cool to stay and out of the sun. I don't think I would have survived all work without it. Heck I was having a hard time with it. It was the first time I ever drove it:eek: Pat said he was glad we put the A/T's on it though. I can't back it up worth a shit though :eek:

One of the more popurlar camera set ups sand guys use is this Oregon Scientifc camera. It is water proof, which makes it sand proof (and salt proof.. ;)) It has an internal memory, option to use flashdrive memory, blah, blah... It has great reviews too (read them in the amazon link). Can be had for under $100.

It also has a slick tube clamp available from www.KWmachineworks.com too. Under $75!
A video of the tube clamp- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09SzZHvtHGQ

Camera in action. You can see by the occupants that the ride is pretty rough, but the video is rather smooth.

Not my video or music..:)

Dang thats cool! I wish they had some way to send the signal instead of just buring it to a card. A camera that could do both would be cool. Do they make such an animal?

I'm sure there is such a thing, but I'm not really in the market. I had this gem saved for a rainy day when I had a few extra buck to drop.

I've seen a few that had multiple components, camera, cord, storage device, etc.. Didn't pay much attention to them as they are generally more expensive and more chit to mess with when it's time to go..

I have a Sony HDR that records to a chip and it's really nice. I'd rather use that system than the tape or 'memory drive' systems...as I have dropped/broken more than one.:banghead:

Anywho.... I've seen cameras from Walley World and other places that are made for just that, back-up ect. However, if these better quality cameras could transmit a signal...WOW! I wonder how the sports folks do there 'cam' thing on bikers and such?

Next year it would be cool to have video of more than just the runs . It would be cool to have vid of the whole process . Getting through tech and impound , and all the things you go through to get there . Back at the motorhome is the best ever .

Make a little dvd about it . It would be very cool and funny .

We had some really good times and laughs . Youd be amazed at how much Tommy and Allison know about racing and the people involved . They made me laugh my butt off many times with funny one liners and was impressed with some of the technical stuff the kids know .

It's in thier blood also now . Went to the arcade at casino and Allison placed 3rd in the Nascar game that all the big kids were placing 20th+ in . She was in first right up till the end when stupid Tony Stewert knocked her into third .

We have another witch in training . :thumb: Tinker Brat . And Tommy with his one liners . You have to catch them on camera its funny as hell .

Good Stuff . Plus me getting my butt kicked by the kids at Mario Cart . We had some really good times . Love those kids .
