Also, yes, it may have broken FIA records...but that's because Audi hasn't decided to bring their car over to try anything like that.

I don't think they will move the camera. They may ask the track if extra protection could be built there. or they may write it off as the fluke it (likely) was and move forward per usual.
Yikes! I would hate to see what would happen if an F1 car had gone into those, if they are like what were used in Singapore.
High speed turn...spectators on the outside...unstable cars do to bumps. Yea, seems like a good combo.
On a different note, maybe this will provide a good opportunity for IndyCar to review the design of their portable catch fencing. Obviously while it mostly worked to keep Franchitti in the track...whole sections of…
I'm a track photographer, and sometimes it is easy to "zone into" the viewfinder and forget about your surroundings. I live by three rules and it's worked out well for me so far:
#1: Place myself in a safe location. Preferably this is in a cut-out along a catch-fence, or behind concrete barriers. Also prefer to be on…
The trucks are set up not allow a ton of adjustment. Each week, the trucks are randomly doled out to the drivers, and I think they have a very limited amount of adjustments they can make. And let's be honest...if they just say the cars have to use their usual off-road set-ups, that solves that problem. And they use…
Problem A: The car jump was way too close to the stands to be hitting it from that direction at that speed.
Problem B: It sounds like the throttle hung.
Problem C: Usuaully they ring the "area" with shipping containers or block off the first few rows. That's how they do it here.
Rest in peace...
With $500,000 on the line at the end of the season. Yea that $200,000 could be worth it. Has been so far for MacCachren, haha.
Dusty, you think they end up racing that "one more race" or do you think they will just start focusing on next year?
Vegas maybe?
Yea it's part of their rule package. Somebody has to be over the wall with an extinguisher ready.
Yea it was originally a one-off opportunity at Long Beach, then they got the chance to do two races in Toronto with IndyCar.
After Long Beach, they ended up incorporating some asphalt sections and metal ramps into their stadium course designs, which had been all dirt the first couple races.
Their YouTube channel has all of their previous races, I believe...and they have at least two more TV airings. They have not aired Crandon (two races) or Sand Sports Super Show (three races) events yet.
I believe they were part of the ticket for both Long Beach and Indy, but I may be wrong. Usually they race at their own stand-alone events with Trophy Karts, Super Buggies, and sometimes Bigfoot Monster Trucks, and I think they were typically $15-$25 a ticket an event.
And I do think that if somebody brought a sponsor to the race, or bought in, they weren't going to get turned away, haha.
I think one could call it a "customer series" because I think you had to buy in to get a truck to race with. then the series would randomly hand out the trucks each week.
If you look at the point standings, 26 drivers have run a race in the 13 events that have run. 15 drivers ran at least five events. After the St. Louis event, they cancelled a lot of events and scheduled new ones due to logisticial issues. They had spaced events too close together, which prevented them from…
Well I think they will keep things as a hybrid next season. The Stadium Trucks have a heritage of beating and banging out in football stadiums, and I think they will continue to do that. The Indy race weekends help give them awareness, which I think is the biggest issue they have faced. They started the season in…
Awesome, I think that's my first Hat Tip on Jalopnik! Thanks!
According to the broadcast they may try to do four asphalt races next year. Looking forward to see how it all shakes out.
In case you missed the broadcast, Robby Gordon's Stadium Super trucks has posted the NBC Sports Network video of their Two in T.O. races during the Toronto Indy race weekend.
Odd. Maybe just a bad batch that you got, or an issue with the firmware you had on it?
I have four Silvers and have never had a prolonged freezing issue or anything like that. I think I had maybe one camera do that, but it was before I had realized that it had outdated firmware. Updated and it was fine.
I primarily…
