Hello there. I'm curious about any experience with GoPro and drag racing... videos, mounts, and settings. I recently purchased a Hero 10 Black and a roll bar mount. This is my first attempt at a run down the 1/4 mile...

Do the yellow tie down straps ever fall out? LOL

Zip tied together. I did run them awhile back without zip ties and they were fine lol.

That is a 32 X 14.5 Phoenix with 12 lbs. air pressure.
I finally got it mounted, on the bar between the frame rails behind the fuel cell, with a short extension. All metal. \m/

Holy moly what are the length of those shocks? That looks like the spring seats are screwed up too far?

4-Link Coil-Overs: From KONI SPA1 to Viking Crusader
I recently ordered a custom set of coil-overs from Mike at Viking Performance. I thought it was about time to get with the times, and replace the old Koni SPA1 single adjustable coil-overs with a modern double adjustable shock. For Comparison... Koni 8216 1908 SPA1, 6.37" stroke, 19.13" max...

No tubes. I tried tubes in them last year but didn't seem to make much of a difference other than slowing it down.
I was able to make a few passes, with the GoPro out back, to test it out and help me dial in the rear suspension...
I see it's been a while since this was posted, but I'm jumping in to ask—has anyone tried using the GoPro Max for 360 drag racing shots? I'm curious how stable the footage is and if it's worth the extra cost over the Hero series. Also, how are you guys mounting them for the best view without risking the camera on a fast launch?

Here is my observations on your launch and run. First pull farther up in the water box to right on the edge of the wet area. you still have a puddle in front of the rear tires when you start your burn out. Second the car is spinning the tires on the leave. The car is trying to pick up the rear tires on the leave and spinning. You need to adjust the suspension to plant the tire. This will pick up your 60 ft times. What is the 60 ft and 330 ft times on that run and ET

I will add to your observation. A dragster ran before him. So the only dry area was at the tree.
Follow me for more tips. 😄
I switched over a while back and the video quality’s been better, especially in low light. The mounting options feel more solid too. You can check out Insta 360 here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Insta360/page/2A4E9629-9C41-48D0-B37A-F3A6CF3D74D9 . I mounted one on the roll cage facing the driver and another on the bumper, and both held up fine through a few passes. Sound isn’t perfect, but good enough for what I needed.

Yeah, thats the biggest unspoken challenge with these! I bought a remote for mine and it seems to work well enough. But the remote has its own proprietary charger, so make sure its charged too.
