Did you cut a hole in the windshield for a clearer shot?

it was my new digital camera. I made a mount out of cardboard and bubble wrap and mounted it on top of the car. Pic of the body is too big to post on here.

That's cool. Mounting it outside of the body would scare me even more though...

yikes sounds painful
you need a stronger car, a Cuda perhaps
had a few hard hits myself last night, lucky we're only running stock motors and if any car is going to break it will be the other one Did have my cells come out though, I think mentioning never having problems with tape put a jinx on it For some reason the tape I had in just wasn't very sticky, even though it was brand new that run

The car is plenty strong, but you mix in me learning to drive with a mod motor, and a novise going the wrong way on the track, and it's gonna get messy. Not saying that I could have avoided it if I had been running mod for 5 years...

LOL, luckily the worst we usualy get is a couple of the young kids with their basic tamiyas that look like they're going backwards when you scream past them on the straight can get tricky though, moving chicanes causing bottle necks on occasion, often you almost dodge them only to clip them and get sent into the wall, on other cars I'm sure I'd have a few more broken wishbones to replace.

SoCal was just bad on Tuesday, 13 heats, and of those, 13 drivers were expert... it was hard to get a single clean lap in, as once you made it past one slower driver, you had 5 more right in front of you again.
