| Re: Drag Racing - Sled Cam View Mike; I saw the 2 cameras on your sled at wetaskiwin and was wondering how well they would work with all the vibration etc. Real good idea, LIKE IT!!   Too bad Sunday was a wash, oh well, already looking forward to next year. |

   | Re: Drag Racing - Sled Cam View Great clip Mike....the first video must have been taken when I went for lunch, I was out on the center of the track with the starter all day. Guess I should have had my rabbit ears on...lol... Hey, post a photo of the sled you were racing.

| Re: Drag Racing - Sled Cam View The lighting was a little tough on that clip from Wetaskiwin, the sun didn't come out until later in the day. In the first race clip I was in lane 4 and the 2 others were in lane 1 and 2 so they were a distance away. Sled I was using was my '96 XCR 600, this is an older picture but it still looks pretty much like this. The sled shakes pretty good at idle but smooths out once the RPM comes up a little. |

| Re: Drag Racing - Sled Cam View That type of cleaning is often related to some obsessive compulsive tendency...lol... I agree Max....always a pleasure to see Duane's sled. Originally Posted by Maxceleration Racing
