Today was another open track day at Waterford Hills. This time I brought my new Aiptek 1080P Cam corder for some in-car video, and uploaded my second session both before and after my redneck camera mount got loose and fell over. As you can see, the camera has no image stabilization whatsoever, so it's only slightly improved from my last attempt at in car video. Between my first and second session, while I was watching the course, I heard the sickening sound of crunching plastic and metal and ran over to find a Neon had hit the grass and swerved into a wall. The damage was pretty major having hit the wall doing close to 50, even buckling the roof. Apparently accidents are common at open track days, but this being the first one I witnessed I made myself useful running around like an excited idiot until I got a hold of a broom to help clean up the debris.

The guy in the stripped shirt in the "buckling the roof" picture is Randy Shaw, former Spec Neon and current Spec Miata driver. He usually runs his orange Lotus at open track days and is a good, but aggressive driver.
