TSD Rally Camera

[Old smart]

Aside

The talk of cameras and monitors has me thinking of another application. I would like to take the smart SCCA Road Rallying, but only in the "Stock" class (totally "un-equipped"). That class requires that only the stock odometer in the stock position can be used, and that may not be easy for the navigator to see, especially a navigator with aging eyes. But it doesn't say that I can't train a camera on the instrument cluster and place a monitor in the glove box. Hmmm.

Nope, won't fly in the SCCA Old Dominion Region. A quick call to my ODR rally master indicates that moving the/an odo read-out to an alternate location (via video link) would put me in the "Limited" class, and there are better ways of doing things if that were the case. Oh well.

I didn't ask about sticking a credit card flat magnifier over the trip odo read-out just to make it more readable from afar.

A mirror?

If you want to get really creative there are many ways around any rule.

I had thought of mirrors (periscope-style so the image stayed right), but gave the idea up as too klugey and difficult to keep in alignment. There may be some advantage in the passenger (navigator) seat being mounted further back.
