The gopro has an option to flip the filming video so you can mount the camera up side down..That sure is a nice looking track and your car sounds good Greg. I did like the OH SH*T moment over the riser.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Where'd ya shoot that from Dave??

PS -- Spent 90 minutes uploading a video to YouTube -- and when I got all done the azzwipes tell me they deleted it because it was too long!
It was the start/stop. I walked up some stairs off the side of that main building there and watched for awhile.

But this will show you my line - not that it's worth anything.

Might scare Todd... so be forewarned buddy!

You have 2 options when you mount cam upside down (only way I've ever mounted mine).

1 -- If you are on the original firmware, you just have to edit the "rotation" in your video editer (I use MPEG Streamclip -- one of the recommended editors on their Support website page) and switch it to Flip.

2 -- Upgrade your firmware (also available at their Support webpage) and that allows you to select the upside down setting right on the camera. That upgrade also has the much needed One Touch feature. Now I find the GoPro is a lot easier to work with while you are geared up in your car.

#1 - I agree -- watching the video makes my stomach flip flop just a bit - because in my mind I should be setting up for the turns the other way! A couple times I've said to myself - "get over! get over! You're on the wrong side of the track for this turn!"


#2 - I'm NOT a GoPro fan.... it has lousy set up functionality - nobody can remember all the BS you have to change or how to change it. I did the firmware upgrade - twice - still don't have the one touch and can't find the upside-down flipper.


#3 - The little Mutt is far better than the driver


#4 - Regarding the OShizzle pucker.... Try as I might - it's impossible to take turn 5 "at speed"... Maybe I should quit trying?!?!

or you can keep trying and end up sliding across the track, sideways downhill through the dirt. Now that's REAL pucker factor.

It took me a lot repetitions, and carrying a copy of the instruction sheet to the track. The Hero2 menu is improved but still complex due to the amount of varibles packed into the small package.

This will change, especially considering how smooth you transition. Good Driving!

Sometimes slower is faster. Going slow when you're focused on going fast isn't easy.

You should be beaten with a stick for posting a backwards video. My head hurts...
