A few at 420 frames per second. You can see everything at this speed. Amazingly it was shot on a $300 Casio Camcorder the size of a digital camera.

First one is when the launch setup was not right, the car wasn't aggessive enough. The first 5 seconds of both videos are the only really impressive part showcasing the amazing speed of the camera. NOTICE how the slicks wrinkle from the load on them. This is why we actually Bolt the tires to the rims.

The second one is far more aggessive, but still not enough to really make the chassis work. This was a perfect .000 reaction time on this run.

I have it set right now, but no other videos were made. Now it pulls a wheelie, and it stays up for awhile. With the right setup it pulls 3.40 g's on the starting line! Enough to bang your helmet into the roll cage padding... ( We call it Dinking the Helmet ).

I thought these cars were fast? It took like 20 seconds just for you to get to the signal lights. :rolleyes:

On that run it actually was slow. I run Super Comp with a throttle stop so the 60 foot is only 1.50 seconds. When I turn the stop off and run wide open it will 60 foot in 1.050 seconds which will scare the begebezz out of you.

I am in Vegas for the next 2 weekends, so anyone around there stop by the drag strip.
