I realize that a stick shift has more driver input than an auto.

BUT a great video. Nice toy.

OH yea, what king is it and where did you get it?

Not really wandering so much as having the steering wheel off on the splines. We fixed it later in the day.

I don't want to get in trouble with the moderators by posting here but if you look on the youtube video there are notes and a link to where the camera can be purchased. It is a cool camera and amazingly affordable in my opinion. The mounts and camera enclosure seal the deal too.

Thanks for the info! The picture quality is impressive.

On a different subject......your head is really high inside the car. If you ever rolled over in there it would really hurt. Your head should really be below the roll cage.

In the cars I drive I practically have to sit on the floor and/or recline the seat back enough to lower my big head.

I wish NHRA would stretch the rules a little in Stock Eliminator to allow us to use safer seats. Stock seats could be very dangerous. Trust me, I'm the first guy in line to keep the class real, but seats don't make the cars any faster.

I took seat tracks off seat fabbed solid mounts and lowered seats in my car because was having to slouch in seat to set low enough for head clearance is alot more comfortable now and I'm sure it's safer.

Dad there is another thread with the link. I saw it a few days ago. It's pretty cheap $200 i believe.
