Yes it will be during the day. I will try the adhesive mount on the rear bumper. I just bought the camera from best buy. The diffrence in the camera's are the mounts that they come with.The camera itself is the same. I just bought the camera and it came with adhesive mounts, helmet strap,head strap, and the pivot arm.It has the casing with the two diffrent trap doors for diffrent types of sound/wind resistance.
Well if you quit being a mouse and dick holder for more than 10 seconds you'd realize that was when I had a lid, bellows and 80mm MAF and SLPLM2 as my only mods, no tune, on one of the hottest days during Ohio in the summer, which means very bad conditions, no excuses, just explanations. If I didn't work 60 hour week on a regular basis I would love to hit the track up..
Ford Fanboy, If I were to even attempt to sink anymore money, even $150 for a tune and new O2's I'm certain with a bit of cold air and a few good hooks I will be hitting 12.5, If your Mach 1 is SOO bad, lets go from a 40 roll and see who gets the Thanksday TURKEY BECAUSE MY BIRD WILL BE GOBBLIN' THE WHOLE TIME IM SPANKIN DAT ***.
BTW I'm assuming that launch was on something other than $90 Kuhmos, and I'd like to see the 60', because on my 13.2 pass my 60 was 2.5 rolling into it, it had 12' in it then but the top end fell off because it was near 100 degrees.. I would like to see what mods he had done other than just "Full bolt ons", that doesn't really get into it, I mean there are bolt on cars in high 12's and some in mid 11's N/A, don't believe me pick up the new issue of Hot Rod mag..I've ran more than 1 Mach 1, and both with similar mods to you, one had gears and OR/H, and it was a freeway 60 roll, I hung right with him until 120 and we both let off, another was from a stoplight dig to about 3/4 mile, he was spraying and im sure he had something else done exhaust wise because it was no where near stock sounding, I know spray for sure. He was barely edging away from me, not sure of shot size, how long he sprayed etc., he did say he sprayed though.

So anyways, you sound like a shitty driver. 2.5 60' on $90 tires? I had $75 tires and cut a 2.0 60' on my 12.6 run, with a best of 1.90 on a different run, so don't complain about tires being the problem. Or heat for that matter, my run was in 2000 DA. What more excuses since you seem to like them? My stock clutch was **** and the stock master cylinder was all but dead and I had to pick the clutch up from the floor between each shift. That was also on 1 of my 2 passes I got that night so don't say I got to the track a lot. I can't think of any other excuses, maybe you can help me find some?
Both backings let in a ton of noise. Open back sucks worse, unless you buy a Micover like I did. Now I only run the open back with the Micover on and I get good sound at 120+. I'll get the Hero 2 after Christmas sometime, post some videos so we can see how we like it!

The only 2 I use are 1080p and 720p @ 60fps, not 30fps. Keep in mind this is on my Hero 1, there may be a few other options on the Hero 2, I haven't looked into it.
Not always. 720p @ 60fps looks very smooth compared to 1080p which is only shot at 30fps.

Had to go find my slips. First pass ever was 2.18, followed by a 2.04. My 2nd trip to the track was, 2.23, 1.90, 2.23. I try different techniques, but never did as bad as a 2.5. That must have been a straight dump...yeah, that'll work.

I don't see where he said he was a great driver, in fact I think he was just annoyed by a "stoppy comment". Something to the effect that his mach 1 destroys fbodys or some such thing. He seemed to be just pointing out that 12.5 in an et street and geared mach isn't an overwhelming smack down on all bolt on ish fbodys. He gives no more excuses than many others here, he's just more brazen about it from what I see. I don't even have any track slips so I guess I'm fucked anyways lol
. That doesn't mean I haven't ran some **** in the past though.Wonder if I could .60 this bitch out of the thirteens lol.
