This is the on board footage from BDCR's first flight (with a camera), BDCR04 at Thrust in the Dust 2004. The motor was a M1297 shot at 200 frames per second at 1/4000 second shutter speed. (18.9M)







This flight of BDCR at Plaster Blaster in 2004 BDCR05. The motor was also a M1297 shot at 200 frames per second at 1/4000 second shutter speed. This has an excellent shot of a Rocketman parachute being deployed. (23.2M)







The last flight of the original BDCR, BDCR15, was a drag race called Battle of the Acronyms. It was flown against BAMF by Art Hoag. BDCR was flown on a L1150R and BAMF had a M2200 skidmark. The motors and timing was chosen to match accelerations of both rockets. Here is a shot from the top ot the rail. It clearly shows why the camera at the top of the rail needs fire proof protection.(3.9M)







This clip is a profile of the two rockets taking off during Battle of the Acronyms. The outrigger set up made for a challenging time trying to load both rockets. The flight took place in June 2007. (3.5M)







Here is a shot looking down from the top ot the rail. The rocket misses the camera by inches. This shot was taken at 1000 frames per second. (7.6M)







This clip is from BDCR's 13th flight in Fresno, CA. It is one of my favoriate shots showing parachute deployment. The parachute was a Rocket Rage chute. (28.5M)
