This is from my $200 handheld pocket camera, 1000' from the starting line.... Handheld. I LOVE technology....

Drags were most excelent today.... except for my friend Brian Smith who wiped out his Alcohol Funnycar in the sand trap on a 5.728/255.77 lap.....

When the chutes dont open, FML....

Damn that is impressive quality filming for any handheld camera regardless of price...

Its this little pocket camera...

The video was shot at 240 fps.

In bright light, 480 works well.

It will shoot 1000 fps ( :shock: ) but the quality goes down and its pretty grainy...

Its a incredible camera.

Pretty cool - at first I was wondering why there is no sound and why they are going so slow. LOL.

Was able to hear em running from where I live on Saturday 16 miles away :shock:

No rain over there?
