Default Sonoma Raceway

Got a chance to run Sonoma last weekend with the NorCal Shelby club.

Great video - thanks for posting. I would love to run Sonoma, but unfortunately 2700 miles away is a bit far to go.

And I would love to run VIR but the travel distance would be about the same.

very nice. That is a lot of traffic that day.

What kind of video cam setup are you using?

I have a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition mounted on the crossbar of the roll bar. I was running it at 1080p X 60 fps in the narrow field of view with the Spot Meter on. After I used the Go Pro Cine Form Studio to download and convert the film clip, I hit the Protune button and saved the result. Windows Movie Maker was used to create the final product you're looking at.

There doesn't see to be too much wind noise in the recording. Are you using a separate microphone?

Ah, yes I'm using a Sony ECM-MS907 that I have velcroed near the back of the trunk space in the Z. The camera is also powered by a GoPro auto charger in the center jocky box so I don't have to worry about the battery running down. Both the power and the microphone attach to one of GoPro's adapter cables.
