Here’s a great onboard shot from Tatiana Calderon’s Star Mazda car prior to impacting Nick Andries in Turn 5 at Road America.  Both drivers were battling lock-up on entry into the corner before Calderon’s right front got into the side of Andries’ car.  The tire contact sent Nick into a barrel roll while exiting the corner.

Fortunately, Andries was not injured in the accident.

Today’s video features some great onboard footage from Jonathan Scarallo’s R-Sport car at Road America in Round 11 of the 2010 F2000 Championship.  Scarallo’s day ended prematurely after losing fourth gear in the closing laps but he rebounded on Sunday to take his first career win.  Enjoy.

Take an onboard ride with USF2000 standout Sage Karam in his Andretti Autosport car at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

Take a ride with Connor De Phillippi in his JDC MotorSports’ Star Mazda at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

It’s not every day that we get to see a drive like this.  Enough said.  Enjoy today’s feature edited by Norwell9 Productions.

With the Star Mazda Championship heading to Iowa Speedway this weekend (along with the USF2000 National Championship and Indy Lights’ Series) it seems fitting to post a video featuring footage from last year’s race.

Take a ride with Peter Dempsey — last year’s winner of the Iowa stop — around Iowa Speedway.  The win was Peter’s second of the season and his first with Juncos Racing.  Lap traffic can have a major impact at Iowa, which is illustrated perfectly in this video.  Enjoy.

The following footage features onboard video from a KZ2 shifter kart.  The engine of the lead kart seized during a high speed section of the circuit, causing the rear axle to lock at the 36-second mark of the video.  The driver, with the camera onboard, does a nice job avoiding the spinning kart in front of him.

I’m continuously looking for additional onboard karting footage, so feel free to send me a link anytime. This video was added to YouTube by KartRacerSwe.

Take a ride with Jonathan Thonon, one of the world’s greatest karters, in his Super KF entry.  The footage was shot during the Winter Cup at Lonato, Italy.

Take an onboard ride with Ben Searcy in his ZSports Midwest USF2000 car on the Streets of St. Petersburg.  Searcy’s fast lap of the session was clocked at 1:15.245.

The following footage was taken during Round 2 of the 2010 Skip Barber National Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Take a ride with Nick Andries and notice how well the draft works in these cars.  Make sure you watch the finish as Andries attempts to pass three cars on his way to the checkered flag.  Spencer Pigot ended up winning the race by 0.013 seconds over Andries and Nicolas Costa.  Enjoy.
