In actual fact, “the 808” is a series of around twenty cameras that are all quite different internally, and you don’t really know what you’re going to get when you order one. The quality on them is awful (as you might imagine for that price) but they are quite hackable, and a subculture has developed around them. They can be found on eBay, and other places as well. The 808 is a keychain camera that is cranked out by the fu shipload in China, and they are ridiculously cheap. He suggested the infamous “808” camera as a starting point, and after a little research, I was inclined to agree. Why not try making something really cheap that, if crushed under the paws of a V8 e30, is no big loss? Sooner or later, the camera will be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The fact is, in a race this long and with this many cars (over one hundred is common), some swapping of paint is inevitable. He asked me to make something more disposable to help with this. He gets some pretty exciting on-track shots this way. Anyway, one of the other things this chap does is attach timelapse cameras to competitors’ cars. This generally involves public humiliation, and is pretty darn entertaining for everyone else. A friend of mine is half of the LeMons Supreme Court, and their job is to assign penalties to drivers/teams who do stupid things during the race. We take old cars (many of which weren’t good when they were new), kit them out with roll cages and such, and race them all weekend. Among my more questionable life choices is my regular participation (as part of The B-Team) in the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance racing series.
