I wish I had more camera angles like this one!!
I was out at Milan Dragway last week and one of the guys there had a camera mounted to the top of his car pointed at the other lane. It's a pretty cool perspective on what a 1/4 mile looks like from the roof of a car! And yes I beat him. He had an all wheel drive Eagle Talon that just got the hell out of town. I was only using my street tires at the time and not my drag radials. Kinda cool, wish there were more shots like this.

That's a cool video, but try this one:

He's put some others up lately that are better, but taxman has convinced me it's time to mount a camera in my car when I get on the track.

Best time that night was a 12.88 @ 115 on cold tires (couldn't heat them up). Average time was 13.1 @ 115, street or drag radial didn't really matter that much. The place is a grease pit.
Here's some filming we did in car at the NMCA this last weekend.

These were both 9.7 second passes. We did one in a high 7 second car but it pulled enough g's to cause the record head to pop off the tape and all we got was a black image!
