I was thinking it may be a cheaper option with longer recording time to have a laptop in the car to record web cam video.

they also weigh less than 100 grams.

There are some quite hi rez ones around now that look ok.

POV1 make a brilliant lipstick cam with a separate housing that has battery and SD card in it, a bit exxy at $1000 but the resolution is great, there are other things that look like a dildo that are around the $300 Oregon Scientific do a Outdoor Sports cam also on SD card, resolution is OK

Ya gotta watch with carrying a laptop around in competition as it has to be very secure. Better to record onto a lipstick/didldo then download to web later

I looked at those but IMO the capacity with the largest Sd card is a bit small 60 mins is not enough.

I was gonna screw a holder for the laptop behind the passenger seat and screw the web cam behind my head in the middle of the car.

250 gig would be more than ample I expect. >_<

I havent seem a web can more expensive than $100 so it could well be cheaper and better prviding it will record at high enough rez at 30fps.

The canon HDV camera I bought to record this stuff is BLOODY USELESS.

I use a cheapo ($90) SD card camera. It doesn't have the highest frame rate or resolution, 640*480 and 30fps max, but you have to reduce the quality a fair bit for uploading to youtube anyway to get a reasonable file size - at least with my software. The full res video looks fine on a computer screen and OK on a TV. A single 2GB SD card is more than enough for a normal sprint day. I don't have to worry about damaging it (or a laptop) at the track.

Ive got a canon Ixus 900Ti. @ 30fps and 640x480 i get just over an hour from the 8gig memory card. I just bolted it into something stuck to the rear windscreen that has a thread that suits the tripod mount in the bottom. Digicams only weigh ~400grams as well

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.

      RB26 Block Filler rigidity/deflection test

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
