Fascinating In-Car Cam Views from GoPro [Non-NASCAR]

I was checking out some videos over under the GoPro camera title and I came across some in-car and on-car camera videos from a Global RallyCross event that took place at Charlotte.

The cameras are pretty cool because they tend to eliminate the vibrations you might get from a camera mounted on a vehicle or what not.  Many, many people are starting to use these new tools.

In one case here in my neck of the woods, two bicyclists were bit by a car, but I believe they had one of these HERO cameras on their handlebars and got really good pictures of the idio... I mean driver.  Of course, the owner's mother reported the car "stolen" sometime after the hit-and-run.  Hmm.

But back on track...  check out this video from the RallyCross.  The volume is loud on the vid, so beware.  And once you get past the intro sections (Travis Pastrana was there) and into the racing, I was impressed/surprised how much beating and banging go into these races.  My first thought was wow, it's like some of those video games I've seen!!!

Anyhow, enjoy!  It's interesting to see.  -Bruce

Danica Patrick Videos... The Bad One First, The Other One Next!

Danica Patrick is on all our minds.  Usually, it's because she's setting records in NASCAR, chicking the guys and taking the pole position (in the Nationwide Daytona race) or smacking the wall hard in her Gatorade Duel, getting her first official welcome to the NASCAR racing series.  Oh, and her first official rain-delayed race!

But then, there are other ways that other folks are bringing her to the forefront of the media.

This first video is an actual news caster who, doesn't call a name, but pretty much should have just come right out and said it... seriously, and here I thought the professionals are supposed to be neutral about their coverage.

This next video is from a fanatical, I mean, talented fan who put this tribute together for our newest NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup series driver, Danica Patrick.  To be honest, it's cute, to say the least and I leave it at that.

Danica Music vid brought to my attention by The Daly Planet on his Twitter Account.

The 'other' video I spotted on Jenna Fryer's Twitter acct. 

Jenna then posted that the FOX sportscaster apologized later, but, is it me, or does it not feel very genuine or more, like a glib, perfunctory apology?
