Pretty wild shot of Pat Dakin's 3.95 312mph pass during Q2 this past weekend in Indy. The force from the vibrations at the hit of the throttle breaks loose a dzus fastener and throws it right at the camera. Then, out of nowhere, another one shows up right above the dash when the parachutes are pulled.

Pretty cool perspective of what it's like going down the track in a fuel car, though!

That's a great video. Covering that much ground that quickly is awesome!

Great video Corey, thanks for sharing!

I think you posted another one with Pat back in Atlanta with a rear-facing camera. Not sure why, but IMO the rear-facing camera gives the perception that the car is much faster than the front-facing camera. I guess it's because you are focused on the crew behind the car and you see them disappear so quickly!

Regardless, love the videos!!
