Default Video - tire flex

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh_KhWMyt0g [/media]

Used a micro camera and mounted it on the rear bumper and pointed it at the right rear tire. This is a '88 Civic Sedan.

interesting moments:
0:59 - get some air
1:18 - get some more air
1:20 - even more air
1:24 - erm... rocks?
2:56 - rear lock up?
2:57 - more air
3:42 - hard lock up

I never noticed how often I lift the rear tire, yes a lot of times its from hitting the rumble strips, but... some of the hard corners it'd lift.

took the keyring off and mounted it with blue racer tape. Camera can be bought for $15 from Meritline.com. You'll need a microSD car too, bringing total cost to like $25 for a HD camera that is light enough to be mounted to a RC heli, or on a rear bumper with blue racer tape.
