I will try...I'd really like to make this. Haven't been in the car in ages, got a new paint job...killing me not to drive. I will know in a couple of weeks if I can make it. Thanks for the shout out....

Here's the correct link to the GoPro fastlap video at Thunderhill...the old link stopped wokring, sorry:

Thanks! - GoPro

For sure! You can always find time when reviewing video. The camera on the air intake gives you that "knowledge" because you actually see a heckuva lot more than you do slammed down low in the driver...

OK...the two laps shot on the Motorsports HERO WIDE camera are up. This is the GoPro F1000 during a practice session at Thunderhill. Times were 1:41.16 and 1.41.15 resepectively. The next session a...

It was great having Gary and Mark out to flog the F1000s. It was a beautiful weekend, perfect conditions...and the brotherhood was strong.

Congrats to Gary on the achievement of building and...

Hi there GoPro customer :-)

It sounds like you either have the camera set to HI sound level in that video or you might have removed the white rubber seal. Or you might have a rubber seal that is...

Gary...dude.

Read the back of your camera, my man. It says very clearly NEVER USE ALKALINE BATTERIES. Only use Energizer Lithium or NiMH rechargeable batteries. Lithium is required for high...

Gary! Sweet car! Great seeing you at PRI today...get your new wide angle GoPro on there and show us what you can do...can't wait to see it. Congrats again on your car...I cannot believe you built...

Great video, Nicholas...looks like a Stohr ad! Hope to race there with you guys next time...

Good points...

And per my message above, please know I don't mean to minimize the poor diplomacy of the SCCA on this matter. I don't want to upset our clan...I am just wanting to dispell any "FB Doomsday" gloom. I...

I've got to agree with Lee.

I am as competitive as anyone. I would LOVE to win a national championship in my FB...or an AARC title. I want it.

But in the end, aren't we buying and driving our...

Hi All,

I agree that the rear wing is moving a lot. That is not an optical illusion from the camera...it's moving!

Matty...we did have a wing break last Sept. at Infineon but that is because...

OK...got the qualifying lap up on our homepage now...in the center:

And now the FA crash at Thunderhill is here:

See some of you...

Still waiting for Vsocial to process the qualifying lap video...but in the meantime here's a link to a video of the two FAs that crashed heavily at Thunderhill in mid March. I was in P4 behind...

I'll post more photos tonight with locations. I mount on top of air intake front and / or rear facing, shoulder of cockpit, under nose.

When we set qualifying and race lap records this weekend I...

GoPro will be there. Who else is going?

Only had 1 other FB at Infineon this past weekend but that was ok because there were 12 Pro Mazdas / FAs to race with. We qualified 5th (.2 off of 3rd) and...

You got it, Keith...I'll be happy to help! Fired up... :thumbsup::D:greenflag:

Hi all...will be good to turn some laps with our fellow FB brethren! I'll be there from Thurs-Sat but Sunday is up in the air.

Hum dinger...I cannot wait to see how we all stack up. And how the...

Yep...just start it running before you leave the pits. Provided you are using Energizer Lithiums or rechargeable NiMH batteries you will get 1.5 - 2hrs of video recording. With a 2GB SD card you will...

I promise to make time to post this over the weekend. I do have that lap recorded and I'll post it. Or should I? That's good juju!

Just kidding...I'll post it! I hope it looks fast...hehehe :p
...

Thanks for the nice words Marty and Lee. I really appreciate it :thumbsup::rolleyes:

On Saturday we got 3 qualifying laps in before full course black flag pitted everyone. Then our car wouldn't...

Split start! Doh! Right...that's what I mean. Me gots lots of laps but not so much experience hehehe.

Just for fun, here's that F1000 lap of Infineon again so you can practice bending your eyes up...

I've got 2 seasons of Russell Championship series racing at Infineon...27 races there I think, with I dunno how many practice days. So I feel pretty comfortable in saying (as everyone seems to agree)...

I talked to a gal at the SF region office today and she said that now there are 4 confirmed F1000 entries with 1 or 2 more possible. She said this is enough for them to add FB to the schedule...

Mounted under the front nose using a prototype quick release mount we're releasing NOV 1.

You can acheive 99% of this same performance by 3M VHB doublesticking the side of the housing to the...

It strips the track of 3 great turns:

T10
T11 (terrific turn in it's importance)

And gone is the ferrocious speed heading up into T2 as a result of the shortened front straight.
...

Yep...scraped the bottom just slightly in compression in T3 and bottom of T6...the right places. That was the stock setup...convenient! :D

We didn't make any adjustments from stock setup aside...

Thought you might like this nose camera angle of our GoPro Stohr F1000 on her maiden test day at Infineon on AUG 16. Driver, GoPro's Nicholas Woodman. We broke her in with Infinity Pro cars on the...

That is one good looking race car. :thumbsup:

GoPro is entering it's Stohr F1000 on Monday and we'll petition for FB classification.

5 F1000s...wooohoo! What a track...this should be terrific.

I agree with Matt...if you've got an...

I love Wayne. Keep making rad components for our Stohr F1000s please :D

Whizzy bits that comply rock :thumbsup:

Stohr F1000s rock (we just tested ours for the first time yesterday and it...

I'm trying, too. Would tow the GoPro Stohr F1000 but we've got a trade show just before then to launch our Motorsports HERO camera system and I don't know if we can coordinate a delivery from Vegas...

Good tip, Ian. Thanks!

Tom...I'll supply the goodies and the prize loot if you do the legwork on the phone with SF SCCA to promote it! Hahahaa...one more thing on the 'ol to do list might break...

I'll be dragging my 32 year old butt to Infineon to duke it out with you all for sure! That's my home track...fine choice for a West Coast F1000 Championship, in my opinion. Fine choice! :eek:
...

Notre Dame might kick in a few sponsorship bucks for that one! Looks sweet! :o

Nice Marty! You're in San Leandro?

I'm in Pescadero. I think there's 1 other F1000 I know of going to Rennsport down in Campbell. That makes 3 of us for San Francisco Regional. Hopefully more...

That's impressive you are building that. All you at-home engineers that can do this yourself -- impressive stuff. Wright brothers...

Here's a movie I put together from my race this past Sunday at Infineon...qualified 3rd, finished 2nd :D

Discount...! It's already only $140! ;)

I cannot wait to get my car! This is too much! Stop sending out these photos...now I want a red one, too! Aghhhh! LOL :D

Let's put together a F2000 type championship series for these F1 lookin'...

I heard an oil line came loose and caused a flash fire. One of our cameras was on it (rear mounted) and survived with footage. Hopefully we get to see it :-)

Sounded like it wasn't a big deal...

It's actually really small and weighs 4oz. Look at your side mirrors. It's smaller than a side mirror (and probably lighter :-).

If you drive a car with a roll bar it will strap to the roll bar...

No...it's got a manual on/off button and mode select but with 54 minutes of video recording you can turn it on, jump in, buckle up, run your laps, come in, shoot the breeze, turn it off, then go do...

Dude...Matt. Let me hook you up with a couple of our Digital HERO 3 cameras. Since you are a pioneer in F1000 my company, GoPro, will hook you up with a couple of cameras for front and rear view...

:D


Thanks Richard! I cannot wait for it to arrive. And thanks to everyone who slaved to make this class and car happen. So much work, so much work.

Our own personal F1 series is coming...

Mmm...sounds swift. But would you WANT to be the one guy winning with a hot motor nobody else has? Tough call...I'd stick with the group and whoop ass with what's common so you'd know your driving...
