GoPro camera video of 1102 starting the Baja 1000

First video is shot from the hood-mounted GoPro Motorsports DV camera. Each car rolls up on a mound of dirt, rolls down to the start line, Sal Fish reaches in and shakes hands with driver and co-driver and then get the 10 second count down. Cars start at 30 second intervals. This shot includes the start, first turn and run along Ensenada’s streets down into the wash and over the Red Bull jump.

I had the cameras set for “high sound level” because it’s freakin’ loud in side the car. I’m guessing they mean “shuttle launch loud” not “race-fueld VW Beetle loud” so you really can’t hear anything.

This second video is of Scott (driving) and Seth (co-driving) rolling up to the start line and into the wash. The wide-angle GoPro camera sees 170 degrees. YouTube doesn’t do them justice. The video is TV-quality.
