D_I_F Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It need's to be fixed to the car. As in it can not be removed by any expected forces from racing.i.e. a gauge screwed into console will hold a 10kg object screwed in by one screw will not. You are a smart man Jase! Also things like suction cups I won't allow. They are really not secure. I know people have those cameras attached to camera mounts on suction cups. I know VZSS has one and modified it so that it was bolted in to the child safety restraints. Maybe PM him? Just a heads up so people with these don't get cranky on the day.

**RB2530** Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Wakie license yes at the admin office. You might want to go through scrutineering first as you will be in one of the first groups and there will be a line.As in bolting to the centre console? If you could make a steal bracket and bolt it to a structural point that would be fine. But it would be hard for me to say yes over the net for something I haven't seen. If you want we can talk about this over PM or if you come down to mikes the night before I can try and help you figure something out. yep understand completely....I just want to use 1 or 2 thermocouple readers which would weigh 200-300grams...I'll make a bracket that will withstand at least 4g peak load which means 1-2kg force won't break it...if it passes it passes, if it doesn't it doesn't and I'll put it in the glovebox...

Neil Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Re the power point question,,,there are heaps of power points in the carports,,,no need for a long extension lead mate. Sorry Corrine as I am not having a go at you for one minute but I always find it funny that you are not allowed to have say a pencil type camera cable tied or race taped inside the cabin. I have been to tons of race meeting and seen these cameras tied and or race taped to the outside of cars sail through scrut. Now if it is unsafe inside (which it is) why allowed them on the outside?. I'd look pretty funny with someone elses camera inbeded in my head. Neil.

D_I_F Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I've actually never seen these? Every cams meet I have been to They have all been properly secured to roll bars and such.

Just a heads up so people with these don't get cranky on the day. DIF I have a suction mount camera designed for motor sport which has been used at Wakie both inside and outside of the car on an Autosports day. I assume this would be ok? It's designed to hold onto the outside at over 150mph and i don't think i'll be getting anywhere near that. I'm not fussed on the outside of the car but will be using it on the inside. It's called - Motorsport Hero Camera.

Neil Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It's even funnier that cams have no real written rules regarding cameras so they have left it up to the poor scrut to work it out. I had old man Cary Butchers (spelling) Michele's log book man design my video holder and he now points to it saying thats whats required. I've seen shift-light size ones duct taped to roofs pass scrut and all the little ones like the suction cup hero. Scary was one guy at a Powerplay day that cable tied his including the tripod to his headrest poles. Titan,,,don't worry about the weather mate,,,it's all good for learning your race-craft. I was always worried about driving in the ran,,,now I love it!!!. So a good idea for everybody should be to replace those old weather beaten wiper refills with some new ones. Neil.

Michele Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Wakefield are now even selling in car cameras... have a look when you sign up, they're on the shelf next to the helmets. My suction one is also rated to 150mph and has passed CAMS scrutineering in the past, but its up to the Chief Steward to make the final decision either way, so can change accordingly at their discretion.

Duncan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 scott, thanks for bringing the pics will be great to grab them. re power, it is in every garage. there is air at the end of the first row of garages but no pressure gauge. as for cameras (or anything else) the rule generally is that lipstick style cameras are OK but full handycams etc are not. this will be formalised from 1/1/09 for sure. as for suction cups I have used one to hold a full sized camera and it was not safe in my opinion, i only ever used it once. would be fine to hold a lipstick camera though they are only about 100g - even in a 5g crash that would only be 1/2kg Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219432-sau-nsw-wakefield-track-day/page/24/#findComment-3957425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
