My daughter got me a go pro a couple years ago, it came with a turd battery, and it took me forever to realize that it didn't work because of the battery, not my stupidity and lack of tech savvy. I got a pair of new batteries but by then she re-possessed it.
We got some good video at the drag strip but now NHRA says you can't aim it at your competition. Facing rearwards makes an awesome view when the starting line disappears. I want to watch the rear shocks and slicks when they expand at speed.
