Well I will take video of my runs...which I often do. How do I make copies of a camcorder video into an mpeg? I have a RCA cable attachment for playing on a full size TV or VCR.

I will also try to get some footage of the Radical (hoping they have a camera mount - and that it'll hold on).

I believe the radical also has 6 speed backwards doesn't it?

I recall reading that.

You can buy at Circuit City Dazzle which attaches to your USB port and has female/male connectors for a RCA jack.

If you want higher quality you definitely need to get a Digital8 camera or better. I have a Sony TRV280 with a firewire jack and my videos are crystal clear. Clear enough to watch on a LCD tv with no loss in resolution.

Could you tell us a little more about this vehicle? For what series is it homologated? Is the manufacturer or some other organisation promoting it in a series the way Factory Five supports its series?

EDIT: OK, I see one of them is a DSR. Not sure about the others. Are they dedicated track cars?

odd importation of the radical? I've seen this car many time already at the track.

They been around the US for at least 1.5years.

Hey George the Radical is road legal in the UK
