We are all running the Chasecam setup. Pretty good stuff that records everything on a compact flash card. The race footage usually uses up a 4GB card but the quality is set relatively high. My car has two cameras in it and I like having that so I can how I reacted to situations happening on track. As you can see in the video my hands were moving a lot.

So, is the in-car footage added to the SPEED broadcast programming after the race, or is there a "live" feed as well?

2:06 was our qualifying times this year. Fast race laps were high 2:06s to low 2:07s.
I have tested faster tires before on other cars. The series mandates we use the R888 so we don't really spend any time testing these cars on anything else.

The cameras used for the in cars during the broadcast are a lot different setup. The Chasecam really doesn't have the quality needed for the TV feed. They are a lot more high quality and are broadcast live during the race.

Seth, how do they decide who is carrying a camera? Is it a pay-to-play type deal or does SPEED make the decision?

Both. A couple of the teams/sponsors have paid money for the cameras and the rest Speed determines by luck of the draw. Or in some cases just keep doing stuff on track that would be exciting to view!

Despite having suffered a self-inflicted wound at the hands of the blue armco, it is still one of my favorite, if not my favorite, tracks. Heaven for track junkies. Could safety be improved? Yes, greatly. Is it bad enough that I would stay away? Not on your life.
